now this song otoh i have NAILED at karaoke
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:31 (twelve years ago) link
damn "Heartkbreaker" shoulda been way higher imo
― some dude, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:32 (twelve years ago) link
like every little piece of that song is perfect to me
clem can render the definitive judgment on this probably but the hits from goats head soup have always seemed to capture that 70s AM gold vibe in a way that other stones hits from the 70s don't really - 'angie' could be some terry jacks thing, the solo always makes me think of 'jackie blue'.
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:35 (twelve years ago) link
solo in 'heartbreaker' rather
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:36 (twelve years ago) link
omg I've been trying to think what it sounds like. Balls otm!!
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:40 (twelve years ago) link
That seems pretty accurate in that they capture the junkiness of '73 radio perfectly. I wouldn't doubt that "Heartbreaker" even made it onto a K-Tel collection somewhere.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:42 (twelve years ago) link
not slick enough for AM gold, but definitely in the right vein.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:42 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i was thinking earlier when people were talking about angie being #1 but not really being one of the tunes you hear constantly on classic rock radio that the reason was it is too AM top 40 soft, same reason you don't hear "miracles" by jefferson airplane
i've seen Rushmore at least once and don't recall that scene with the stones song
― buzza, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:45 (twelve years ago) link
oops jefferson starship
― buzza, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:46 (twelve years ago) link
airplane, starship, wheelchair, who can keep track honestly
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 02:47 (twelve years ago) link
(personally I only acknowledge Airplane but that's just me)
"Tumbling Dice" exists in some corner of my mind next to Al Green, the Spinners, the best singer-songwriter hits, and all my favourite music from my favourite year. "Angie" (which I basically like fine) belongs to some bizarre free-for-all with the likes of Vickie Lawrence, Skylark, and "Dueling Banjos." I'm being selective in my memory there, but that's really the difference that that one year makes for me.

one thing that's weird is looking at old wabc charts and seeing (eg. http://www.musicradio77.com/Surveys/1972/surveyjul2572.html) 'happy' popping up amongst 'candy man' and the partridge family covering neil sedaka, etc.
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 03:00 (twelve years ago) link
You called my bluff! That's what I mean about the way I romanticize 1972. There's "Happy" next to "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast," "Candy Man," and "The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A."--any of which is basically just as junky as what comes along in '73. (On the whole, though, I think most people on this board would find a higher concentration of great chart music in '72.)
― clemenza, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 03:05 (twelve years ago) link
something/anything is that year
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 03:08 (twelve years ago) link
i think your point holds though - 'happy' on the air beside 'candy man' seems bizarre to me, whereas 'angie' on the air beside 'half breed' and the defranco family feat tony defranco (http://www.musicradio77.com/Surveys/1973/surveyoct2373.html) - sure, that totally makes sense.

i feel like i've recently seen pics of brian looking hott before the drugs kicked in? in any case, masonic boom is likely to dispute your verdict.

I know I know I've argued up and down that one before, I don't get it I'll never get it *shudder*
But I really fucking love this song, I couldn't justify it in my ballot but I'm stoked that it gets a nod because it's pretty rad.
I love that it's hippy sounding but those meaty guitar riffs just beef it up so much, it's awesome
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 03:30 (twelve years ago) link
Also I might have to distance my earlier agreements with Alfred that Mick got hotter in the 70's, because him in roger's vid just, um A+ outstanding
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 03:32 (twelve years ago) link
the way the vocals slowly swoop in like a fighter jet on We Love You is my favorite part

and brian just looks like ron weasley there
"we love you" is far and away my favorite stones song that i didn't vote for. no excuse, just savage nights in process. glad y'all knew to pick up the slack.
otoh, kind of hate mincing twee "i am waiting", clever wes anderson deployment or no.

love the dot-matrix solo at the end of "we love you", such forward-thinking devils

"ventilator blues" is GREAT, but my exile love points went elsewhere. sorta figured from the balloting thread that it'd do okay without me anyway. such a brutal song, love the "some kinda ventilator" repetition @ 2:10 or so.
