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

did anyone else see the imax steel wheels tour film back in the day? i saw it for my 12th birthday of all things. things got all psychedelic on "2000 Light Years" iirc.

i think i may have, but i'm not really sure since both the stones and imax were staples of my youth

yeah I saw that... think I was about the same age, and it was the first time I realized that the Stones sang the Tour of Duty theme song (Paint it Black).

haha i kind of want to re-do the tracks poll results with all the song titles replaced by "Tour of Duty theme song" and "inspiration for the Whoopi Goldberg film of the same name" and "as covered by Guns N Roses in the end credits of Interview With The Vampire"

"Waterskiing Song From Apocalypse Now"

"in every Scorsese movie ever"

i was kind of amazed when i saw The Departed and he used "Gimme Shelter" TWICE, like he really just has no self control anymore

He used two versions of it in Casino. Never did find out the origin of the first one, but it sounds vaguely 80s/90s.

this! this is why i bristle at wes anderson and his attempted kinks abuse.

I saw that Imax/Steel Wheels thing in Toronto - we were crammed all the way to the front left of the theatre, it was like it was projected on the side of an inverted pyramid!

you were between a rock and a hard place

this! this is why i bristle at wes anderson and his attempted kinks abuse.

at least he uses DIFFERENT. KINKS. SONGS. IN. EACH. MOVIE.

it it national Wes Anderson month or something? i swear his name crops up in almost every thread I read lately

he's getting knighted.

I really hate the way Wes Anderson uses classic rock in his movies. Scorcese, he's ok.

I liked how in the behind the scenes footage on the Rushmore dvd, you could hear his crew listening to the Faces between setups.

Anderson used up all his good music ideas on Bottle Rocket ("Alone Again Or") and Rushmore ("A Quick One, While He's Away"). Every other movie of his has been an exercise in awkward shoehorning.

point taken, but it's still abusive imo
get offa my cloud, wes anderson

i liked the bowie covers in the life aquatic

and elliott smith in the royal tenenbaums

woah contenderizer likes wes anderson movies? posts very much out of character right there

Best use of music by Wes Anderson: the Charlie Brown Christmas song in Royal Tenenbaums (Alone Again Or and A Quick One are close runner-ups)

1. "I Am Waiting," Rushmore
2. "Making Time," Rushmore
3. "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," The Royal Tennenbaums
4. "A Quick One While He's Away," Rushmore
5. "These Days," The Royal Tennenbaums

Probably forgetting something.

Call that a tie at the top.

anderson uses music wonderfully in all his films you all suck

although yes "i am waiting" is the best. i love that movie (and song) so much.

wes anderson is great. now can he please gtfo of this awesome Stones thread.

can't believe so few folks voted for "hand of fate." that's a great song. been stuck in my head all day.

i somehow didn't notice this poll until the ballots were due, but here's what mine would look like

tracks:

Sway
Bitch
She Smiled Sweetly
Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Stray Cat Blues
No Expectations
Imagination
The Last Time
Prodigal Son
Brown Sugar

Miss You
Moonlight Mile
Gimme Shelter
Tumbling Dice
Fool to Cry
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
Start Me Up
It's All Over Now
Beast of Burden
Torn and Frayed

Albums:

Sticky Fingers
Exile on Main Street
Between the Buttons
Beggars Banquet
Some Girls

Tracks runners-up:

Monkey Man
Dead Flowers
She Said Yeah
Rocks Off
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)
Hand of Fate
Let's Spend the Night Together
Backstreet Girl
Memory Motel
Not Fade Away

btw they really are the best band ever.

I really wish I'd thought more about voting for Monkey Man and Let It Bleed. Just because I would feel better about my ballot. And I wish I hadn't been so reluctant to show love for my favorite Exile tracks. I coulda/shoulda made Torn and Frayed my #1.

Okay, so with amateurist's ballot plus everyone's thoughtful reconsideration itt clearly "Sway" is #2

xpost I have been playing torn & frayed on ye olde acoustic since this poll ended and kinda want a Gibson Hummingbird now tbh

i really never would've guessed before this whole thing started that "Sway" was widely considered the best song on Sticky Fingers

ILM's had a pretty strong cult of Sway for a while now

*to coin rogermexico's turn of phrase

::raises hand::

O_o

no whey

*booing*

Crashing this thread to post the Charlie-cam version of "Monkey Man." This would have been my #1 pick (then "Paint It Black", then "Sway")

Anyway, here's Charlie. This is one of my most favorite things ever.

Also, I've been listening to the Stones non-stop while reading this thread and had a great Thursday night!

This is cool.

Arthur Ashe?

I like to think that it's Bill Wyman making all the noise.

also, i'm kind of thinking black and blue > tattoo you. anyone with me?

well TY has two tracks from the B&B sessions so...

Arthur Ashe - weirdest assumed name ever
