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!

"Beast of Burden" overplayed in recent years but it's such a bauble.

Fun Fact: the last time they ever scored two top tens from one album.

I feel like this poll is fucking with me now. My almost-favorite RS song and my WORST RS song tied

oh cruel irony

I love Bette Midler's version of Beast too

tipsy mothra OTM in the voting thread re "the pummeling snare drum lead-in to the chorus" on Ruby Tuesday. impossible not to pull out the air sticks for that one.

love both of these songs so much (though i prefer evil twin "play with fire" to "ruby tuesday")

sort of disappointing that they dropped their fey and experimental side so completely after, well, you know

frankly I'm glad it was just a side, I don't think I would like them half as much their career was 50 years poncing around in velvet and playing recorders

side = phase

karaoke peeps, have you tried either of these? both seem very fun in very different ways.
