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

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.

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"

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

always figure that POLL titles should be as crushingly stupid as possible, so rhyming is out, as it makes a kind of sense
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
"Poll Poll Poll Poll Poll (Heartbreaker)" is pretty great though, and less stupid than the song title it's playing off

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.

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.
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:05 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
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
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
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
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
side = phase
karaoke peeps, have you tried either of these? both seem very fun in very different ways.

I'm dying to try out Beast of Burden
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i know ppl who hate both so so much and they're both 'overplayed' i guess (seriously ppl, it's 2012, get spotify, put mp3s on yr ipod, change the station, no excuse to whine about hearing anything too much - everything is very avoidable now), but i'm still fine w/ both. when i was a very young kid (ie when this song was still somewhat contemporary) i thought 'beast of burden' was possibly some kind of sex slang i didn't understand, like that m&m stuff they talk about in 9 to 5.
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
xxxp lol, yeah i guess not, but little something strange now and again in between all the romantical swaggeringness might have been nice

xxpost balls, yeah I always thought it was a weird sex euphemism too, I was kind of embarrassed that I liked the song for a long time because I thought it meant I was a pervert
turns out I am and that liking the song has nothing to do with that, lol

Today's second clerical error: Ruby Tuesday's point total is correct but I failed to note it received a #1 vote.
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:26 (twelve years ago) link
Wes Anderson is among my most loathed directors, and I had no idea he used Ruby Tuesday (my #5). The guy should be banned from using the stones

i was one of the 'let it bleed' number 1s. i don't love it as much as rogermexico's post suggests, it was more that it had to be number 1, simply by what it does. just listen to the first 25 seconds: the slide guitar sketch to start, the acoustic guitar which seems to change rhythm ever so slightly, charlie's drums starting bang bang, then the piano coming in on the second beat.
they swung as well as they rocked.

love the lazy swing of "let it bleed", the way the drums come in, all that. even like the song, but it's far from a favorite. enjoy singing & drinking along with brokedick country stones, but i think they do other things so much better.

I love Beast of Burden, and I was trying to NOT leave things off if I really can't listen to them anymore, but this one fell through the cracks and I left it off. I don't think I've ever been as unhappy with what I submitted, but this is just impossible to do in 20 songs (and I stopped at Exile!)
― Iago Galdston, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
Beast of Burden is off the cuff and v relaxed but it feels kind of bland to me tbh
