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

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

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

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

which ones?

"worried about you" is said to have been a black and blue outtake. don't know of any others.

"worried about" you timing adds up given that it's Wayne Perkins on the solo, who also plays on "hand of fate"

will have to give b&b another try but on the face of it it's tattoo you in a walk

speaking of which, that fabled reggae version of "start me up" grooves pretty deeply

where do i find this version?

Charlie-cam is awesome. And Black and Blue is better than Tattoo You.

xpost obv there's no finished version out there but here's a rough one

We can't be browed by beating
We can't be cowed by words

everybody walking round
everybody trying to step on their Creator

did "Long Long While" really not place? what a joke, ban everyone

lol delayed reaction much

been a long, long time

:)

destroying your notion of circular time

"Let It Loose" would top my ballot now.

there are days when it could top mine too, such a gorgeous song

Is this the best song on Exile? I think it probably is.

I subbed in Let It Loose for every other song on Exile that I wanted to vote for.

my #3. this is one of those tracks that, like, i thought i was the only one, and i am so happy to find out i'm not alone. with exile the whole is obv greater than sum of parts but i think ismael is otm. it's perfect.

Just been browsing this thread while on a bit of a '60s-'70s Stones kick, and came across this...

I know it from the London Years box & remain puzzled about why the cd case says it's "Child of the Moon (rmk)". Was there an original version?

― Euler, Wednesday, April 4, 2012 2:55 PM (3 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Better a late response than no response, I guess, but I was confused about the same thing up until fairly recently thinking that "rmk" meant that the track was in some way a "re-make" and there was an original version out there. In actual fact, "RMK" is Allen Klein's daughters initials.

whoa cool thanks!

I can say with confidence that Voodoo Lounge is pretty good: lots of jams, and "Out of Tears" isn't embarrassing.

It's such a shame that the '60s Stones discography is still quite messy, with both US and UK versions still available... I would have thought they would have tidied that up like The Beatles did, by sticking with the UK versions and putting all the odds and ends on compilations, a la Past Masters.

never say never but the rights situation is v thorny

Ah, yeah... the '60s Stones catalogue is ABKCO owned isn't it? You can see why McCartney sued the rest of The Beatles to dissolve their partnership in the early '70s.

Allen Klein, bitches
