Guest mesepher Report post Posted October 4, 2002 wow, people like Angie? I think its one of the worst songs ever by a good band. It ranks up there with The Reaper by BOC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big McLargeHuge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Gimme Shelter, Paint it Black, or Jumping Jack Flash. Can't really decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Markme123 Report post Posted October 4, 2002 What is the name of that famous Rolling Stones song? You know the one that they *always* when a show has a piece on them. It's also the first song that they play on the 'Forty Licks' CD commercial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Where in the Washington Redskins Hell is "Street Fighting Man?" I'm crushed. Anyways, if I had to choose which one of the songs above is my favorite, I would probably have to go with "Paint It Black." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Paint It Black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest godthedog Report post Posted October 4, 2002 what? no 'bitch'? no 'sister morphine'? no 'let it bleed'? no 'dead flowers', with one of the funniest verses ever? actually, i think my favorite stones song is 'turd on the run', the 2-and-a-half minute throwaway number from exile on main street. i could listen to that bluesy guitar riff forever. and the 'country honk' version of 'honky tonk women' is waaaaaaaaaaay better than the greatest hits version.

Guest Kibagami Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Sympathy for the Devil = ratings. S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest godthedog Report post Posted October 4, 2002 i never understood why so many people love 'sympathy'. it's basically a glorified throwaway pop song with mick jagger trying to be scary. it always seemed to me something that was TRYING to pull off the stones bad-ass attitude, while stuff like 'ventillator blues', 'bitch', 'brown sugar', 'let it bleed', etc., really lived and breathed the bad-ass attitude.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted October 4, 2002 and Paint it black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest godthedog Report post Posted October 4, 2002 yes, and 'paint it black'. i could go on & on citing examples. bottom line is that 'sympathy' just doesn't have that bluesy, gritty dirty SOUND that made the stones so great. that sound was really their trademark, and it had the power to make even a sweet love song like 'wild horses' seem grimy & rough. it's what they did best, and when they strayed from it (like with 'sympathy', 'you can't always get what you want', stuff like that) the result always sounded forced to me.

Guest Mad the Swine Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Gimme Shelter or Satisfaction. For some reason, I'm also a sucker for Shattered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted October 4, 2002 I was torn between "Gimmie Shelter" and "Paint It, Black." I went with the former. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Both are great songs, but since "Gimmie Shelter" has one of the greatest choruses in all of rock and fucking roll, it gets the duke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted October 4, 2002 my own peronal favorite is probably 'jigsaw puzzle' or 'you can't always get what you want'. jagger's 'memo from turner' rules the fucking earth as well. but from the poll we'll go with 'ycagwyw' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Big McLargeHuge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 That's fine. It doesn't make your selection any more right... but it's fine. I love Paint it Black as well, but Gimme Shelter's intro alone not only smokes Paint it Black entirely, but it's probably head and shoulders above just about anything in Rock n Roll. The song fucking rocks. Of course that's just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
