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

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.

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

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 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 ...

yaaaaay

1 in 3 "let it bleed" votes had it at #1. if you like this song at all, you really like it.

and if you don't...

Where's the thread title from, btw?

second verse of gimme shelter. i was afraid that might be too obscure. not too late to change if it's baffling everyone.

THAT is how you wear a scarf!

no, i like the thread title, though it's not as easy to remember as "it's just a POLL away" or "can't get no POLLisfaction"

runner up was SHE'S SO POLLED SHE'S SO GODDAMN POLLED

"the POLLice in New Yawk Citeh..."

no chance

"Some POLLS give me children..."

My ideas were "Poll This All Together (See What Happens)" and "Poll Poll Poll Poll Poll (Heartbreaker)".

"(I'm a) POLL SURVIVOR"--too obv?

always figure that POLL titles should be as crushingly stupid as possible, so rhyming is out, as it makes a kind of sense

"Poll Poll Poll Poll Poll (Heartbreaker)" is pretty great though, and less stupid than the song title it's playing off

Cherry Poll Baby

LET IT BLEED! My #4, but I kind of wish I'd voted it #1...there's a whole novel's worth of unpacking in the way Mick moves through the choruses, from lean to cream to feed to finally bleed. I love the camaraderie aspect of the Stones more than anything else about them; their vision of barfly camaraderie in Hell is one of my favorites.

In all seriousness: this very nearly happened.

Good post! Makes me like a song I already like more than I already liked it!

would've been genuinely impressed w/ 'black POLLS just wanna get fucked all night'. if changing i vote for 'poll poll poll poll poll (heartbreaker)' which is sublime.

hilariously fitting those two tied!
