"No Expectations" is awesome!
I'm sort of sad "Little Red Rooster" is not going to make it.
Also, didn't "She Said Yeah" get a lot of love in the pre results discussion ? Looks like that's not making it either.

Thanks rogermexico, makes this poll, and the placing of that song, all the sweeter! I think I like the song even more than I did now.

I didnt' vote for Tumbling Dice but I full support it's Top 10 placing. It's a fucking winner.

And I always heard the line as "don't need no jewels in my frown."
this is one of songs where I just make up word-sounding-noise to sing along, randomly interspersed with the words I can actually discern and remember
I have never ever retained the words to this song, no matter how hard I tried

"our own private Cult of Sway"
As a fellow cult member, I will be very surprised/happy that "Sway" made it that high, but that's too good to be true?
It's hard to believe it doesn't make the top 60!?
― nicky lo-fi, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
Not sure how I justified cutting "Tumbling Dice", other than I knew that it needed no help from me. Undeniably great, and that opening figure of Keith's is just so cool.
― grandavis, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
if memory serves there's a pretty strong cult of Sway on ILM, I think it'll still make a showing. Or else I'll throw a pretty loud and whiny tantrum, lol
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 6 April 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
"Sway" will be super high I think, was my #2 iirc
― Euler, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
"Sway" won the "Sticky Fingers" poll in a landslide iirc
― Race Against Rockism (Myonga Vön Bontee), Friday, 6 April 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
that opening figure of Keith's is just so cool
it really is. super-easy to play and deeply satisfying. he's always copped to just slowing down chuck berry's stuff, but what he does with those double-stop slides is magic.
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Friday, 6 April 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
There's no way Sway doesn't make it. I think I finally know all the top six now; just one I'm not 100% sure of.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 6 April 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago) link
"sway" is bound to place top 5, so many people talked it up on the balloting thread
i cut "tumbling dice" in favor of "rocks off", stand by that though i love 'em both

Is this gonna wrap up by 5:00 p.m. U.S. east-coast time? Will be sad to miss the run-down, though obviously the world should not revolve around east-coast time.

and thanks so much for posting that reminiscence, roger, loved reading that, esp the last couple lines.

totally identifying with a lot of that post too
while we're talking about cleveland...i remember going to the hall of fame (in cleveland) after a day of shopping at my favorite gigantic thrift store and seeing mick jagger's clothes and thinking now THAT's what i call an outfit. and they were in my size too! why can't i ever find clothes like THAT?!

Great song all the way through, but the first 20-30 seconds especially is some of the greatest rock music ever recorded.
