The first of many all-time-best Watts drum sounds achieved by Jimmy Miller. And the way Jagger sneer-drools through "matter" is probably illegal.

i always thought that mick changing 15 to 13 was more of a joke on his part, amping up the ridiculousness of it. but maybe i'm delusional! anyway, i voted for it because the guitars.

He wouldn't have been the first rock star to go full-sleazy with a 13 year old in song lyrics, though -- c.f. Zappa in 1967, "Brown Shoes Don't Make It." Frank even went a step further and imagined the 13-year-old as his daughter. (I wonder what Moon and Diva Zappa think of that song.)

One of the best side-benefits is how much Stones stuff I've been listening to since I started creating my ballot. I don't think a day's gone by where I haven't blown through Beggars or Exile once or twice just because the thread discussion puts a few songs in my head, or digging around the youtubes for live stuff, or heck getting my hands on the Brussels Affair live stuff for the first time.

very happy with how "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" placed, after all the snark and criticism about the song's outro on ilm i thought i'd be its only #1 voter

Even snark is relative though - It's Only Rock n Roll would be a pretty great song for most bands.

For anyone who's interested, hunt down the Honolulu 1966 bootleg--radio broadcast so the quality is excellent, and better than "Got Live" iirc
― Iago Galdston, Friday, 6 April 2012 13:29 (twelve years ago) link
stuff I voted for: 19th Nervous Breakdown, Monkey Man, Moonlight Mile, Can't You Hear Me Knocking (my #1)
Satisfaction probably shoulda been #1 but I figured it would get the Space Odditty treatment
There's one 80s song that I voted for: it'll be interesting to see if its in top 10; I'm thinking no but who knows?

OK, there are 9 songs that are pretty much guaranteed to show up in the top ten. But 1 mystery. Hmmmmm.
the Space Odditty treatment
That must be a UK thing because Bowie has plenty of bigger songs in the USA.
