Brown Sugar already placed, didn't it?

or am I high?
even if Mick doesn't respond to all that calling out in the book, you *know* he threw the book at the wall.
uhh Mick would never chip good paint by throwing a book against it, never mind damaging a book.

you know, this will sound dumb but I didn't know that these last 2, if they are what I think they are, would be the 2 favorite songs. I don't know why. Just kinda surprises me.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 6 April 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
nice song, but 2nd?!
― nostormo, Friday, 6 April 2012 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
more than "kinda surprise" imo
Stole it from a magazine cover, sorry...

xps one of them was the #2 in the 20th Century poll, so I imagined it would do well here.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 6 April 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
I voted for one pretty low, but not the other. Shoulda voted for the other as well, but I reined in my big hit votes and it somehow did not make the cut. Like both songs plenty, interested to see the vote totals vs. #1 votes.
― grandavis, Friday, 6 April 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
But really, gotta go home. Look forwards to seeing the results. Thanks roger!

NB the margin between "sway" at #4 and "sympathy" at #2 is less than 10 points

When I was a kid we walked to school past my church. One morning, which must have been 1987, we found it covered with graffiti saying stuff like '25 years of The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil'. It seemed outrageous then, and not really any less so now.
It was likely my first introduction to them as anything other than a thing old people might like.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 6 April 2012 21:25 (twelve years ago) link
Bongos/percussion on Sympathy is my favorite thing about this song
(the GNR cover at the end of Interview with a Vampire was one of my favorite things as a teenager, lol 90s)
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 6 April 2012 21:25 (twelve years ago) link
I used to hate "Sympathy", then came to dig it on account of the solo, but I can understand completely hating it still.
― Euler, Friday, 6 April 2012 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
Keef's solo <3
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 6 April 2012 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
I found it hard to believe, but my wife insisted she was unfamiliar with Sympathy and most other Stones songs before meeting me. Apparently people at her college in the mid 90s only listened to Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell and Cat Stephens. It was fun observing her hear the song with fresh ears. The riddle-like lyrics are great.
Just that demon life got me in its sway. That was a staple on mix tapes for eons in my youf. It was my #6 but on further thought I'd move Sway up a few notches.

I just decided that Sticky Fingers will be cranking in the car for the drive home tonight
[catching up]
ROCKS OFF! hell yeah, wasn't at all sure it'd place, though it was dumm of me to think not. love that song so much, so sleazy wrong & bad. it is my "stray cat blues".
"paint it black" & "sympathy for the devil" were two of the acknowledged classix i just couldn't deny. both so completely badass, and in completely different ways. latter might be the song i've been most likely to have snatches or phrases of stuck in my head over my lifetime. couldn't happen to a nicer tune. percussion is killer, lyrics were so much fun to puzzle over when i was a kid.
SWAY! i churled on this one a bit on the balloting thread, but i don't know why. it's undeniable, easily the best sticky fingers track. not only should i not have cut it, it should have been top 10.

Like I said earlier in the thread, Sympathy's got one of their greatest grooves, and by extension one of the greatest grooves ever. I started a whole thread about it once:
the "sympathy for the devil" groove
I can sort of take or leave the lyrical conceit, but the PLEASED TO MEETCHOO chorus is awesome. My #2, so its placement is exactly right by my count.
