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

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 killed the thread with my earnest appreciation. Very un-Stonesy.

no way! lotsa earnest appreciation itt.

it turned out the picture kinda said everything for me

xpost it really is an A+ pic

I didn't vote but I love ooooh oooh's in this

Almost voted for this just for the Rollins solo.

Yay! Second of mine to place - it's so good-natured.

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

i believe the correct musicological term for that guitar sound is "heavenly"

<3

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.

man, it's tough watching mick in the 80s videos though

"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?

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.

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.

hahah that's cute as hell, tyler

my #10, the "latest" of my picks but not really since it's from the early 70s mostly, no?

xxxpost grandavis do a search on dominique tarlé nellcote and kiss half your day goodbye. i've used a bunch here and will use more. extraordinary stuff.

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.

shadoobie!

Tough one for me to cut. Love the handclaps on the solo.

i want to like a song that obnoxious but i can't quite get with it

damn, i want that single

wrong youtube link tho

oh my god, is that the actual 45 sleeve? About as "punk" as Punky Brewster...

i want to like a song that obnoxious but i can't quite get with it

ah, c'mon, obnoxious is their whole deal, and this is one of their very finest displays ... that i, uh, didn't vote for

that's kinda what i mean! it's a great example of that end of the stones spectrum but i can't bring myself to lvoe it

wrong youtube link tho

oh god how did this get here i am not good with computers

About as "punk" as Punky Brewster...

"We're not a punk rock band, we're a new wave band"

About as "wave" as Katrina and the...

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

as with most some girls tracks, the phase tone is dope

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WANT THAT MACHINE!

"Shattered" will bring down the house at karaoke. Fact.

xpost they used one of these

and xpost "shattered" actually strikes me as intermediate-level karaoke. the sprechstimme bits ain't trivial.

nice and cheap, too. ty, roger.

sw00ds once told me that his adolescent self never recovered from the sight of Mick Jagger playing electric guitar.

Gonna miss the countdown till tomorrow morning, unless my day drastically changes. Looking forward to checking in then ...
