If Gimme Shelter wins by less than 100 points, I'd be surprised.

I actually wish I'd voted in this now: 'Lady Jane' and 'Time Waits For No One' would have been on my ballot for sure. Glad to see 'Ventilator Blues' and 'Let It Loose' on there. Not surprised at what came 1st and 2nd at all.

Ah yeah, and '100 Years Ago' would have made my ballot as well.

Ducked out today--think I was worn out from that comedy poll.
1. “Sway” (40)2. “I Am Waiting” (36)3. “You Got the Silver” (33)4. “Rocks Off” (30)5. “Dead Flowers” (28)6. “Prodigal Son” (26)7. “Tumbling Dice” (25)8. “Back Street Girl” (24)9. “No Expectations” (23)10. “Out of Time” (22) 11. “Let’s Spend the Night Together” (21)12. “Street Fighting Man” (20)13. “Loving Cup” (19)14. “It’s All Over Now” (18)15. “Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind” (17)16. “The Last Time” (16)17. “Happy” (15)18. “She’s a Rainbow” (14)19. “Time Is on My Side” (13)20. “Please Go Home” (12)
"Gimme Shelter" was one of my favourite songs by anybody many years ago, but it's another one I've just heard too many times. Of all the hits from '68 on, "Street Fighting Man" and "Tumbling Dice" are the only two that are still vital to me. The one omission from the list that surprised me was "Prodigal Son." Good job, rm.

"Jumpin' Jack Flash" for some reason wasn't on the wiki list of Stones songs, meaning i nearly missed it off my original ballot too before i went back thru the albums for a second think. might be why some peeps missed it altogether?

Great poll/thread everyone. I've massively enjoyed lurking here for the duration, and as someone who has never really tried to get into the Stones, I have a lot of cool stuff to check out.
― pandemic, Saturday, 7 April 2012 11:50 (twelve years ago) link
Somehow I managed to be away from a computer during the big finish, but well done, all. Many thanks to rogermexico for handling the poll so smoothly in spite of jury duty etc.
After the Zep and Bowie polls, I was not ready to hear any more of either for a while, but I think I might be stuck on the Stones a little longer.

I didn't vote here only because I know only about half their songs, and didn't have time to go on a listening binge of late, and didn't want my mainstreamy ballot squeezing out worthy obscurities. I'd never heard "2000 Light Years" or "Jig-Saw" or "Loving Cup" until this rollout, and they all would have bumped something else off my top 20 (though I was actually saving the #20 slot for "Mixed Emotions", no kidding), and there's still some high-placing songs I've never heard that I need to check out. But I'm pleased most of would-have-been picks made the cut ("As Tears Go By" the only glaring ommision - and one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar).
I was guessing "Tumbling Dice" would be #1. I like "Gimme Shelter", but I'd never have expected it to be the runaway winner, and may not have even made my ballot. Stoked that "No Expectations" made the top 10.
― everything else is secondary (Lee626), Saturday, 7 April 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
Man, such a good time. No real problems with the placement of stuff, though I was one of the 10 votes who did not vote for "Gimme Shelter". Would have made a top 30, just not my top 20. I have had "Rocks Off" stuck in my head for at least 24 hours, wish I had voted it even higher! Maybe shoulda been my #1.
My ballot:

To answer a question posed three days ago by Alfred ("does anyone dislike BOB?"): Yes, hate it. (I consulted the rule book, and it clearly states that the acronym should only ever be used for Blonde on Blonde.) Was I the only vote for "Prodigal Son"?

Was I the only vote for "Prodigal Son"?
I was thisclose to voting for it, but settled on Parachute Woman instead for the guitar riff. But Prodigal Son is so great. My favorite part is Mick's "Heyyyy" at the end, it sounds like he touched a hot plate or something.

- Little Red Rooster (my #2)- I'm A King Bee (I was the only voter for this - ILM don't got the blues?)- Soul Survivor (only thing from Exile I voted for; I've tried and tried but still don't get most of that album. "Rocks Off" is also good. The rest? No thanks.)
