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

Iiiiiiiiiiiiii love this song, and I was heartbroken when I realized I couldn't vote for it. I am glad it placed, I realize it was never going to get very high but <3 Keef

This band has an absolute buttload of top shelf material.

and long legs, apparently

Yeah, I shouldn't have said crestfallen--I love all their songs so much that there is a real chasm between the ones that have come so far and my A/A+'s (which I hope to see soon!)

the fact that the winner of Rolling Stones singles poll: post-Tattoo You has already placed doesn't bode well for those of us challop champions of the later eras

oh, i wouldn't necessarily accuse ilx of consistency

haha oh i know, doesn't necessarily mean anything, but i'm reading tea leaves over here.

some bold soul should poll 'singles released 20 years after the band/artist's debut'

YES! almost voted for it, was deeply relieved it didn't show up on most hated tracks, have yet to pull it off at karaoke, will never stop trying

GREAT SONG! TOO LOW! then again, i didn't vote for it.

i will be your knight in shiiiiining armo, coming to yoah emotional rescue...

have yet to pull it off at karaoke, will never stop trying

same here

their most talking heads moment in so many ways

Yes! I didn't vote for it either but it's fucking awesome

One of my most hated tracks.

someone doesn't believe in romance!

god i hope 'mother's little helper' coming in at what is increasingly looking just ridiculously low is a sign of just how many bj era tracks are ahead and not a sign of how many voters think this band basically begins w/ altamont

One of my most hated tracks.

why, alfred? is it the product of a vitamin deficiency? poor parenting?

Vitamin B-12 to build up my tolerance for slap bass and Mick's Sylvester the Cat impersonation.

the little sax-guitar call=and-response during the fadeout is so perfect

13 of my 20 are Brian Jones era

this band basically begins w/ altamont

and ends. was quite a day though.

Really glad this wasn't a top 50 list. Thanks rogermexico.

this band basically begins with Darryl Jones

so glad I voted for Angie now!

MY BEST FRIEND HE SHOOTS WATER RATS

i voted super high for it

that's a great picture too.

It must be the middle of the work day in Australia

yes, thereabouts. :)

actually, not even. still early days :(

mick taylor contingent out in force today

as it should be

ooh I like this very much.

LOL at Emotional Rescue, I cannot and will never take it seriously, it's just so CORNY.

on the other hand

CUMMON HUNNNAY

the corniness is a big part of the appeal for me. like it much better than the corny country stuff on let it bleed and sticky fingers.

The poet X.J. Kennedy suggested that the lyrics are part of a tradition of responses -- beginning with John Donne and Sir Walter Raleigh and continuing through C. Day Lewis -- to Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love". Marlowe's poem begins "Come live with me and be my love".[citation needed]

aka 'move into my living quarters so we can bone down 24-7

xxpost see corny country to me is endearing. corny I'LL BE YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINING AAAHHHMAHHH like a weird vampire is just weird

there are 4 stones songs you should 'take seriously'

1) 'undercover of the night' - cuz of the desparooos, very topical at the time
2) 'out of tears' - can you imagine what it would be like to be out of tears? modern condition, etc
3) 'some girls' - obv
4) 'like a rolling stone' - think about it man

A "minor" track that offers almost everything that makes this band and the jagger/richards marriage great: nasty, funny, knowing, and rocks balls.

balls, were you rocked?

weird vampire funk will always be endearing over here.
