Analogman Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Gladly. Starts out nice - I was using that as an example of a Stones song that was not about sex/drugs/rock and roll. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does end up pretty horrendous. How is that even on the same record as, say - Jigsaw Puzzle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I was not nearly alive at the time, but I have always been a huge "The Who" fan. They are in my top 5 bands Both bands have lost a lot of their luster, what with the Stone's mega tours and every Who song ever being used in 10 different commercials, but still. And the second poll wasn't very difficult Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Do people understand the 2nd poll was just from 69-74? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Do people understand the 2nd poll was just from 69-74? Yes, but it doesn't change the answer in the slightest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like that song much - I like No Expectations the best - besides the ones you've heard a million times. "Sympathy for the Devil" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 There's not a song on that record that I dislike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 There's not a song on that record that I dislike. Completely agree. Let it Bleed, Beggars Banquet and Exile are three albums that I never tire of. Of all the late 60's, early 70's stuff that I used to listen to, very few get played anymore.

Lammycat Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm surprised by the panning of "Salt of the Earth" by some. Great song, imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CortezTheKiller Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've always had a greater affinity towards the Who...the whole Stones taking from blues dudes always irked me.You must be irked by rock and roll in general.

Atticus Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I wonder how much the dozen incarnations of CSI are affecting the results of this poll Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 It's interesting that apart from Led Zeppelin, all those bands had Nicky Hopkins playing on their music (I just thought about that when I read Analogman's Beggar's song list), during the period. (Although to be fair, with the beatles he used to put down the piano as a guide and then they'd record it themselves over him - although, again, saying that it is rumoured he played the actual piano on hey jude).

CortezTheKiller Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 By the way... off subject, but who made it blasfomous to say that Exile has plenty of filler on it? I prefer basically any other album from this period to Exile. It would have been an amazing 8-10 song album, but as it stands, I can't make it through the whole thing on a single listen.I used to feel the same way about Exile. It takes a long time to digest and to call it a hodgepodge album is an understatement. If I was to put together a Stones compilation, Exile wouldn't get a ton of representation. But taken as a whole, it's a pretty fucking amazing record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 And the second poll wasn't very difficultVoting for The Glimmer Twins twice was easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also - The Jeff Beck Group, The Jefferson Airplane, and Quicksilver Messenger Service. He was a strange agent - so I have read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably several other bands - he was the Benmont Tench of his day. I think I like Let It Bleed a bit more than Beggar's Banquet - although, I recall reading somewhere that several of the songs on Beggar's Banquet through Exile on Main Street were recorded/demoed at the same time.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The Who were probably a little more innovative musically, but for a wide variety of kickass R & R, the Stones kicked their asses, especially in the period noted. Take all the stone cold classic Stones tunes from that period and line them up with the best off the Who albums, and the Stones list is much, much longer. Much as I love the Who ... it's the Stones by a mile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm going with the Who. Not sure if I had made that clear earlier on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyMike Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm surprised by the panning of "Salt of the Earth" by some. Great song, imo. I agree. Great jam at the end. I recently dusted off (or re-booted) "Goats Head Soup" and I think its a very good record. "100 Years Ago", "Cold, Cold Winter" and "Heartbreaker" are all first rate songs, plus "Angie" and "Silver Train"...not one of the greates of all time, but an underrated Stones record.
