MAD POLL, LOST YER WAY – ILM Artist Poll #16 – The Rolling Stones RESULTS THREAD

but Mick swore it aint no capital crime

my point!

lol I'm slow

Presumably Polanski's favorite live Stones....

i'm starting to feel curmudgeonly. not a big "stray cat blues" fan either. sleazy cool, but kind of generic and overstated.

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.

xpost i dunno seems pretty ballsy for 1968

how old was jerry hall in 1968?

roger, please tell me you feel *this* song in yr pants

(turning 12)

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.)

roger, please tell me you feel *this* song in yr pants

I'm going to be sad when this ends

and yr doing an awesome job btw, rogermexico

yeah man, thanks, best poll evar

srsly

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.

^ yeah no shit, have not had such thorough bath in them stones since i "discovered" exile 20-some years ago

Stones bath: lotsa bodily fluids in that tub...

eeuagh, thank you for that mental image

yeah i'm not even a massive fan or anything but it's been great listening to those remastered(?) singles comps on Spotify.
also hadn't heard Live With Me for years; how good is THAT?

Live With Me sax A++

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

mark me down in the snark corner on this one

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

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?

Totally digging this poll, rogermexico. Wonderful job.

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.

Wow, missed a whole lot. How do all of you stay online for this? You are magicians all of you.

I somehow thought "Moonlight Mile" was going to be a sleeper top 5 pick, maybe even #1. Going to be really interesting to me to see what ends up there, though getting easier to suss out.

"Stray Cat Blues" remains one of the more convincing blues workouts for me, just so much personality in it yet somehow it seems a little less forced (and more fun) to me. Maybe it's just the guitars. I turn up the radio/stereo EVERY TIME "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" comes on (unless my wife is in the vicinity ...) Please tell me the Mick did not write that riff too, I am not sure I could take that.

this has been the best poll I've participated in--i.e. completely mysterious and maddening from stem to stern.

agreed ... the Zep and Bowie polls were very engaging and led to a lot of highly enjoyable listening, but this one has been way more crazy-making and way more fun

It's really satisfying to see CYHMK rate so highly (although I wouldn't have personally!) after all the kvetching over it

don't understand the Can't You Hear Me Knocking love.

think I know which 9 kornrulez is talking about

longshots from my ballot that I hope could take the one remaining spot: Heart of Stone, Tell Me and Cocksucker Blues

i'm going to repeat what I said about Can't You Hear on the voting thread because i was otm: "so many big Stones radio staples are these tight 3-minute singles that it's nice to occasionally hear that one big sprawling AOR noodlefest imo"

Yeah, the big 7 minute FM epic is not their thing, at least compared to bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc.

Prefer "Memory Motel" and even "Slave" as sprawling AOR noodlefest.

Looking at what's left on my ballot, the longest shot is probably "The Spider and the Fly."

don't understand the Can't You Hear Me Knocking love.

yeah, me either. the song at the beginning is a nice & sleazy blues rocker exile-style. it's great but not far & away the best thing they ever did in this vein. unfortunately undercut by the tepid jamband workout that follows. alfred otm re: the relative merits.

of 23 #1 votes cast so far, only three have been pre-let it bleed: one each for "19th nervous breakdown", "ruby tuesday" and "child of the moon". all the rest in the late 60s/early 70s country-blooze sweet spot.

10 of my top 20 yet to appear, and it seems like 9 will......I am consensus boomer Serious Rock Critic dude!
should've gone with my alternative ballot which was 50% "Exile"...

will be shocked if Gimme Shelter is not #1
