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

^album that came from is awesome, available on spotify btw

as is the clayton

everybody likes this song a lot more than I do

I don't hate it, it just doesn't do much of anything for me. An over-telegraphed Big Statement song, lyric- and arrangement-wise.

I do not believe that Mick Jagger lacks for shelter, or can even really imagine it, is part of my problem.

yep

see previous comments about Jagger's other attempts at being threatening/evil/Prince of Darkness

Thanks rogermexico! It's been a fun week of Stonesin'.

Word. Thanks everyone for a serious good time. Looking forward to updating the Spotify when I get home this evening.

Scorsese thinking he owns it is the only slight negative mark for this track

This is OTM

I voted this kinda low, didn't realize it had so much love.

Is it bc of the Altamont/Maysles association as well, that this gets a bump? I mean, it is an undeniably huge song...but I had no idea it was so beloved

"Connection" wuz robbed

So were She Smiled Sweetly and Time Waits for No One. :(

The Perth '73 version is hilarious; it takes Charlie an entire verse to find the 2 and 4.

I was afraid of "gimme shelter" as a young kid. It really does sound like some rough shit is about to come down.

my ballot, i'm guessing at least 70% of this changes from moment to moment

1 - sway
2 - she said yeah
3 - jumping jack flash
4 - torn and frayed
5 - gimme shelter
6 - no expectations
7 - paint it black
8 - waiting on a friend
9 - 19th nervous breakdown
10 - dead flowers
11 - too much blood
12 - monkey man
13 - let's spend the night together
14 - rocks off
15 - street fighting man
16 - heaven
17 - all down the line
18 - if i was a dancer (dance pt 2)
19 - 2000 man
20 - you can't always get what you want

5 best albums

1 - exile on main st
2 - beggars banquet
3 - aftermath
4 - december's children
5 - between the buttons

3 most hated

1 - in another land
2 - might as well get juiced
3 - back to zero

xpost i think it's just bc it's undeniably huge. never had any doubt it would take this but did not expect the absolute knockout margin of victory.

that #2-4 are separated by only 9 points in a 67-ballot poll confirms just how tough this one was and how much every ballot counted.

Dang I think just about every song on my ballot placed!

Nicely done, roger! Tho I didn't submit a ballot 'cause ILX breaks everytime I do (twice so far)

I do not believe that Mick Jagger lacks for shelter, or can even really imagine it, is part of my problem.

it kind of doesn't matter. the song is an invocation, and by the time it gets going full throttle, it's generated this massive, devastating, hurricane power that erases any relationship to the human beings creating it. it's maybe the most viscerally violent and horror-movie-terrifying pop song ever recorded, this raging, howling cataclysm of sound.

my reminiscence is that when i was about 12 years old, i used to set up my stepdad's stereo speakers facing each other and lie on the living room floor with my head between them and listen to side three of hot rocks fucking CRANKED. eyes closed, so loud it made my ears hurt. "jumping jack flash", "street fighting man", "sympathy for the devil", "honky tonk women" (i'd usually jump up to skip that one, not cuz i didn't like it, but it broke the mood) and finally "gimme shelter". straight shot of evil, violent, black mass rock n roll. gave me chills, filled my head with awful visions, still does today.

also blown away that "star star" (or "starfucker" or w/e) didn't make the cut. you people, i swear.

I LOVE Something Happened To Me Yesterday!

I'm sad not to see CS Blues on here--absolute classic

my top 20:

Child Of the Moon
2000 Light Years From Home
Connection
Sweet Black Angel (yeah, i know, wtf)
No Expectations
Back Street Girl
100 Years Ago
Summer Romance
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)
Rocks Off
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
Gimme Shelter
Paint It, Black
Sympathy For The Devil
Get Off Of My Cloud
Sweet Virginia
2000 Man
Angie
Slave
Star Star

The weird thing about those isolated tracks for Gimme Shelter is that, other than the vocals and maybe Keith's solo on the intro, I'd never have guessed they were era-capturing performances. You know, the guitar's rough & ready, the piano good-timey and loose, Wyman's plunking away like a kid with his chord book propped open.

Even the mix is a bit muddy, but there's this weird alchemy in the full thing that brings elements out continually like demons from a bottle, or conjuring storms rolling across the plain. It's the one track, more than any other, where I feel sure there's a presence that isn't there by design. I call it The Magic. That's what I'm celebrating most.

That said, here's my twenty (bold didn't place):

1. Dance (Pt.I)
2. Too Much Blood
3. Undercover (Of The Night)
4. One Hit (To The Body)
5. Heaven
6. Almost Hear You Sigh
7. Laugh, I Nearly Died
8. Anybody Seen My Baby?
9. Blinded By Rainbows
10. Love Is Strong

11. Feel On Baby
12. Out Of Tears
13. Waiting On A Friend
14. Saint Of Me
15. New Faces
16. Down In The Hole
17. Back Of My Hand
18. Gunface
19. Hearts For Sale
20. It Won't Take Long

lol i actually thought 'too much blood' and 'heaven' were locks somehow (on ilx at least) and last night i was half wondering if somehow someway thru the powers of soto 'one hit to the body' had made the top ten.

My compliments to the poll-runner. And I wanna hear yr Jumpin Jack Flash karaoke sometime, rog.

THANK YOU ROGER!!!

I forgot to say that I've spotified my ballot for anyone tired of all the boring rubbish that the hivemind served up during this whole fiasco.

Just kidding Roger - thanks for doing this, it's been amazing fun.

Brown Sugar
Salt of the Earth
Star Star

I didn't do albums but they would have been
Exile

Let It Bleed
Beggars
Goat's Head Soup
(I think)

And I forgot most hated but they would have been:
Ruby Tuesday
Lady Jane
You Got Me Rocking (maybe)

Hugs, kisses, bouquets and a case of Stones wine for Rogermexico for putting this altogether. You're a Rainbow, Roger xoxoxo

*pokes head around the door*

*reads results*

No 'Lady Jane', no way.

*exits*

Greatest "Live With Me" ever?

Thanks for the hard work! Almost everything I voted for placed so that's nice for a change.

hey Myonga, if you're still around --- can you give us a theoretical top 5 or 10 of what you would have voted, had you decided to damn the torpedoes and crash ILX for a third time? :)

Great poll, guys. Thanks again for a tremendous trip down the rolling stones rabbit hole. These guys have made a lot of great music in 50 years. I kinda hope Mick goes the full Cohen in his old age. I kinda hope Keith's around to see it.

That's kinda fascinating, that Sympathy only got 1 #1 but made it to second place anyway. The little devil that could, lol

can't wait to delve into your post-Tattoo You list, Ismael...great way to dip my toes in

Yeah I actually wanted to say to Alfred/Ismael/Some Dude that you guys have got me interested in checking out the later period a little more, and I def appreciate the spotify playlist Ismael. I will approach with an open mind/ears :)
