MAD POLL, LOST YER WAY – ILM Artist Poll #16 – The Rolling Stones RESULTS THREAD

when I was in college I was morbidly obsessed by songs that I would have people play at my funeral
this one topped my list pretty regularly, lol

'this one' - shine a light, not undercover, lol

'Well I'm telling you they never got it right / Until they put out Undercover of the Night'
In Praise of The Genius That Was The Videos for The Rolling Stones Undercover LP

I'll admit I didn't really give Undercover a fair shake when I was making out my ballot, and probably still wouldn't have voted for Undercover of the Night, but that's a pretty nice track.

desparOOOOOOOOOOs

i didn't vote for it either cuz i'll be goddamned i'm gonna have as much from undercover as i do from sticky fingers but it's still pretty great. one of their last attempts at 'contemporizing' their sound that worked.

didn't make my ballot Ry's slide on "memo" is just wicked

BUT Ry's slide

52. Back Street Girl - 169 points (7 votes)

lol at keith's frippery

jeez was Keef sharing Brian's wardrobe? Crikey.

I love the look on Charlie's face

Backstreet Girl is so outstanding, voted it super high

I love the look on Charlie's face

applies to pretty much any Stones group shot iirc

otm

he has a wonderful catalog of 'Oh sod off' expressions

Charlie has made a career out of rolling his eyes in outrage in videos.

I appreciate his grumpiness.

"back street girl" is one of those tracks that i love without reservation but that if this were the band that the stones were i wouldn't love them like i do. does that make sense? love the darkness hiding in twee stones but based on this there would have been no way to predict Sticky Fingers ever.

I can see that. and I think I agree.

btw it's worth checking out the point differential between 56 and 52

51. Jig-Saw Puzzle - 183 points (9 votes)

that's a hell of a 45 imo

Each side has a reprise of the other side

they really were butt ugly though.

who, the Stones, or the 45s?

xp

Love the Mellotron on "Jig-Saw Puzzle"

the Stones!

the hell you say

Brian scares me, I've never understood why anyone found him the least bit attractive. Bill is def creepy.

But Mick, Keef and Charlie all have a certain handsomeness to me. Especially in their young years.

young mick is like a notch below elvis pretty

Mick got better looking in the late seventies -- dunno if anyone agrees.

Bill Wyman's face looks like poached salmon.

and I don't AT ALL get Brian Jones' charisma.

49. Start Me Up

oh dammit

49. Start Me Up - 199 points (11 votes)

xxpost Alfred I feel you on 70's Mick...I might be inclined to agree. There is nothing about Bill Wyman that I like. I just find him to be a total knob. I even hate it when I notice a good bassline and think wow that's cool and then immediately after I'm like, ugh Wyman

"Dandelion" was first of mine to place! Made a strong push with me for some reason, was off my ballot for a while then it jumped up a bunch.

ok in the "Start Me Up" I will admit Mick Jagger looks like the seamstress who used to hem my pants twelve years.

*ago

the "start me up" video is must-watch

Never need to hear "Start Me Up" again

turn the sound off. watch the video.

hoo-ray for "back street girl"! so lovely and nasty and sad. was my #6 and my 2nd to show up (after "angie"). i like the girl songs, i guess.

"start me up" is p great, but agree w grandavis. the world is too much with it.

Woo! Undercover Of The Night made it! I reckon that's probably it for my ballot though :(

btw if i've learned one thing over the past couple weeks of exploration that i wasn't expecting, it's that Mick Jagger can't dance, could never dance, should never dance, and for 50 years now has insisted on dancing at every opportunity. what the hell.

was as over 'start me up' as everyone else and then st sanders revived it - http://bit.ly/HeC2Li

"Jig-Saw" was my #2. "With a blood-curdling 'tally-ho,' she charged into the ranks" is probably my favorite Jagger moment ever.
