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

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 :)

"Connection" and "Yesterday's Papers" are the ones that make me go, "Damn, they've got a DEEP catalog."

I was deliberating over throwing some votes to As Tears Go By, but I changed my mind. It really is a lovely song.

Yeah Connection is pretty great, I played a lotta lifeboat with their early catalog trying to figure out what goes and what stayed.

as cringing as it is when Keith's trying to find the note, I kinda love that he sang this because it's been so long

(from Shine A Light - which incidentally is about the closest I'll ever get in my life to seeing them live and I guess I'm okay with that)
