"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.

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

The version of "Satisfaction" from Got Live If You Want It! has been my go-to lately whenever I want to hear this song.

no problem! there's a great typo in that article that makes me wish someone really wrote a song called "that's how strong my lore is".

btw for those of you who haven't clicked on the "satisfaction" youtube, do yourself a favor and check out 00:45-00:49.

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!)

Great breakdown, and I agree. It was never really on my ballot.

(I've written riffs that people assume are Keith's.) Brown Sugar. That was the first one I did. I've done many since.- Mick Jagger, 1994

I'm the #1 for "Monkey Man," really glad to see it placed. I can understand if it's a little thin for some, but it's definitive for me.
Listening to my CD stones on shuffle today, and I gotta say, while I didn't vote for the 5 worst Stones tracks, if I had, "Under The Boardwalk" definitely would have placed. Easily the least valuable of their early covers imo.
― da croupier, Friday, 6 April 2012 02:05 (twelve years ago) link
"Monkey Man" is great, thought i'd voted for it but i guess it was a last minute casualty

rogermexico, are you familiar with Otis Redding's version on Live in Europe? revitalized the song for me, Otis takes a VERY different approach to the vocal.....

"Satisfaction" and "Honky Tonk Woman" seem ranked way too low to this old-timer. Those two songs were the ultimate transistor radio jams in their time. Instant dance parties coming at you on the AM band. And while we're talking Stones songs on film soundtracks, "Satisfaction" in Apocalypse Now is exactly what I'm talking about.

Educating myself about the Stones in the late nineties, I was amazed how quickly the cliches broke down: Mick wrote a lot of the riffs and Keef wrote the best ballads.

Brown Sugar was my #1 most hated. To be honest, I don't really hate it at all; I just think it's kind of boring and gets WAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION over the dozens of superior RS songs
― Life Is Most Assuredly NOT a Long Song (Dr. Joseph A. Ofalt), Friday, 6 April 2012 02:34 (twelve years ago) link
Which is why I didn't vote for a lot of the hits.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 6 April 2012 02:36 (twelve years ago) link
That's how I vote in most of these polls. No reason to vote for "Brown Sugar" when 500 people will.
My take too, so my ballot's a little peculiar
thought hard about voting for Brown Sugar though because I once sang a fun nursery rhyme version to a group of toddlers & it worked

or really the mix of toms and kick
i voted for a lot of big hits because tbh i knew "Satisfaction" was gonna be too low
― some dude, Friday, 6 April 2012 02:47 (twelve years ago) link
exactly. i frontloaded my top 5 with big hits (iirc) to counteract the contrarians
― Iago Galdston, Friday, 6 April 2012 02:49 (twelve years ago) link
figuring most everyone would leave out the big hits...although we're already well through the big hits, right? (sorry, breaking my own thing about telecasting what is to come)

how much do I love this freaking song
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 6 April 2012 02:54 (twelve years ago) link
the way i see it there's pretty much nothing but big hits from here on out. maybe one or two deep cuts and minor singles, if that. (xpost -- there's one)
― some dude, Friday, 6 April 2012 02:54 (twelve years ago) link
just got to the part of the Wenner interview where Mick talks about how "Moonlight Mile" is one of those songs that Keith isn't really on at all
― some dude, Friday, 6 April 2012 02:57 (twelve years ago) link

nope
― mookieproof, Friday, 6 April 2012 02:59 (twelve years ago) link
i.e., you are wrong, unless you count 'sway' as a big hit

hey i said one or two exceptions. we just saw one, that could be the other. are any more Exile non-singles a lock?

isn't sway another non-keith song?
