love happy, tho it didn't make the cut on my ballot. some of the live versions of that song are pretty lol, keith seeming to have no clue how to sing into a microphone, jagger trying to keep things together.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
i let "happy" go even before "turd on the run" (and just about blew a fuse cutting that), but am super glad to see it here, easily the sunniest exile track. also one of the few keef songs i really dig.

keith-sung, i mean, he wrote lots of great shit
xp I read that same article and another one. They took a break from touring due to unspecified health issues Keith was dealing with, but since then he's played at least one gig and seemed okay.

Love "Happy", too low imo. Love the riff, the slide playing, the horns mimicing the slide, the vocals. And, uh, it makes me feel happy too, which sounds stupid but is true, so gotta fess up.

I like the sound of the guitar in this. I haven't the musical knowledge to describe either the guitar or kind of playing but I dig it :D
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
i believe the correct musicological term for that guitar sound is "heavenly"

I shoulda voted for this, I forgot how much I love it
so so many great songs i didn't vote for, god this poll was tough. their most beautifully relaxed song? no tension or angst, just this effortless sunny afternoon sway, can't help but love it. tattoo you forever.

"Waiting On A Friend" was a very late cut for me, glad to see it place relatively high (every song at this point is gonna be great and thus could be considered as "placing high" relatively).
I was joking about the earnestness, and roger summed it up: that picture of "Happy" Keith is the best. Where did that come from?
― grandavis, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 19:41 (twelve years ago) link
for me, this is the last stones lyric with genuine mojo.

i actually never got "waiting on a friend" until I heard the luna cover

ha, i think i had the same experience. that is a nice version.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
shit, i would have made space for this--and the video is SO New York '80 or 81' or whenever it was...love the scene in the bar at the end where they are miming.

i remember seeing that video when i was reallllly young and i thought the rolling stones lived on sesame street.

Already kissing enough of it away with this thread. Makes work interesting, we'll say, though not as heavy as the Bowie or Zep polls so far, but yeah, gonna wait until I have more time to kill. Photos are amaaaaazing so far.

unfortunately the live versions on youtube are not so good, so let's just all listen to the rad album cut. as with most some girls tracks, the phase tone is dope: http://www.youtu.be/-td1MhOjB4o
