FWIW, the 45 mix of "You Can't..." cuts the choir along with segments f the lyrics.

hearing this song in goodfellas is what prompted me to deliberately listen to the rolling stones (ie buy an album - let it bleed). haven't looked back.

dig "Monkey Man" but it's interesting to see the kind of song that's consensus on ILM evidently: 68-72, solid meat & potatoes Stones, the earthy years. did we do a general 70s poll on this board? thinking there's more taste for classic rock here than I thought
― Euler, Friday, 6 April 2012 00:13 (twelve years ago) link
monkey man is one of those songs where it's great and then if you break it down into its individual parts it is even more great
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Friday, 6 April 2012 00:18 (twelve years ago) link
Pretty classic, on my ballot, though here it's above some songs I love a lot more. (Let it Loose was my #1.)
― JoeStork, Friday, 6 April 2012 00:20 (twelve years ago) link
feel free to say a few words about "let it loose"!

Speaking of Satanic, anyone see Fallen (1998) with Denzel Washington? I think that's the one that put "Time Is On My Side" to effectively creepy use, where a serial killer is executed, but his spirit possesses different people to carry on the same kind of killings, and always whistles that song.

Nothing wrong with focusing on that 5 year period. It was a doozy. But with these polls, it seems the songs that win are usually the frontrunners, like When the Levee Breaks & Life On Mars. If Gimme Shelter wins by less than 100 points, I'd be surprised.

The intro to Monkey Man is exquisite and I cannot believe how much I always love it. My #6.
You Can't Always Get What You Want: My #3. Even after living through Classic Rock Radio and hearing this song way more times than necessary, I still am completely in love with everything about it, including the choir and the lyrics and the overplayedness.

Hehe, same thing happened to me, except it was Nilsson! Didn't realize Monkey Man was even in Goodfellas, tho, but it makes sense, so sleazy and paranoid. My #2.

"You Can't" was in my top 10, it's a song that has weirdly only gained power for me over the years, and i'm generally not big on "Hey Jude" or whatever other songs might be comparison points

Man, missed a lot, but really glad "Monkey Man" made it. My #14, such a killer sounding song. Riff is all time for me too.
― grandavis, Friday, 6 April 2012 01:04 (twelve years ago) link
love that Satisfaction 45 pic!!
"Satisfaction" is an eternal keeper for me. I love how aggressive it is, it's kinda slower than I ever remember whenever I hear it, but I just love the forcefulness of it. It doesn't sound like many of the other popular songs of its day, it has that really nasty garage quality to it that I just love from that era. Good song for playing air tambourine to, if you're so inclined
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 6 April 2012 01:08 (twelve years ago) link
The version of "Satisfaction" from Got Live If You Want It! has been my go-to lately whenever I want to hear this song.

i have mixed feelings about "satisfaction":• riff is obviously all-time• made even more all-time by the innovative use of guitar fx (keef noticed that the gibson maestro fuzz, a relatively new invention, could make his guitar sound like a horn, and laid down "in a dream" more or less a motown horn part)• bassline is all-time• super-edgy subject matter for the time and for years after, genuinely frightening to parents• super-sharp and still-otm observation of the relationship between conspicuous consumption and sexual frustration/fear of death• somehow never really gets in my pants -- it's all strangely lifeless, which i suppose is appropriate to the subject matter: all looks no action (imo!)
