February 18, 200620 yr QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) Far Away Eyes Interesting choice. A good 90% of what I like from the Stones is pre-1972 stuff, but that track is a good one. I can actually pinpoint when they started to fall off: Tracks Recorded Between October and December 1969: All Down The Line I Don't Know The Reason Why Can't You Hear Me Knocking? Country Honk You Can't Always Get What You Want I'm Going Down Loving Cup You Gotta Move Brown Sugar Dead Flowers Wild Horses Monkey Man Let It Bleed Tracks Recorded Between August and October 1970: b**** Cocksucker Blues I Got The Blues Let It Rock Wild Horses Good Time Women Loving Cup Stop Breaking Down Tumbling Dice Shine A Light Shake Your Hips Sweet Virginia Ain't Gonna Lie Silver Train Torn & Frayed Ventilator Blues Tracks Recorded Between October and November 1971: Turd On The Run All Down The Line Rocks Off Stop Breaking Down Sweet Black Angel Let It Loose Travellin' Man Good Time Women And then, after the 1972 United States Tour came to a close, they hit the studio and this is what they came up with. These sessions were the suck. Tracks Recorded Between November and December 1972: Leather Jacket Potted Shrimp Aladdin Story Dancing In The Light Untitled Instrumental Angie Silver Train (Doo Doo Doo) Heartbreaker Can You Hear The Music Through The Lonely Nights Who Am I Save Me Winter "Angie" is pretty good, "Heartbreaker" is okay, but the rest is pretty much crap IMO. It would only get worse after these sessions.
February 18, 200620 yr QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) Take it easy, I agree with you 100%. Everyone had the chance to nominate two songs. Too late to complain about it now. No problem. It just ticked me of a little bit because I'm the guy who nominated these: Stones: Street Fighting Man Hendrix: All Along The Watchtower And both tracks are getting s***ted on like it's nobody's business. I suppose that I could have nominated "Jumpin Jack Flash" and "Little Wing" instead.

February 19, 200620 yr Author No love for Start Me Up? I hear that song in the car and I turn the volume up, up, up. Since some have listed their favorite Stones songs, I'll post mine. It isn't a top 30, but here are 10 in no particular order: Satisfaction Jumpin' Jack Flash You Can't Always Get What You Want Under My Thumb Sympathy for the Devil Mother's Little Helper Paint It, Black b**** Start Me Up Beast of Burden Lately I've been addicted to Shattered. There's times when I can't get that song off my head. QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 05:55 PM) Mother's Little Helper What a drag it is getting old. . . I love how that song starts off.
February 19, 200620 yr QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 18, 2006 -> 09:43 PM) 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking?' That might be my favorite Stones song. That song is awesome. I went with my dad to see Mick Taylor at the House Of Blues back in 1999, and he performed a 10 minute instrumental version of that track. IIRC, that song is all Mick Taylor, although he never got proper credit for it on "Sticky Fingers".
February 19, 200620 yr QUOTE(Yoda @ Feb 19, 2006 -> 12:02 AM) No love for Start Me Up? I hear that song in the car and I turn the volume up, up, up. That song is good. I like the early 1975 versions when they were experimenting with it in the studio, mostly because of the change-of-pace drumming by Mr. Charlie Watts. Charlie is without question my favorite member of the Stones.
February 19, 200620 yr The whole song is not Taylor, but the extended solo at the end certainly is. And supposedly it's a complete accident it got recorded. Supposedly he kept playing while the others had stopped but then they fed off of him and picked it up again. Nobody knew tape was still rolling until they played it back later. I love most if the stuff that came out in the Mick Taylor Stones era. There actually is a good Mick boot called Can't You Hear Me Knocking that is a recording of a pair of Chicago shows (one had Keith Richards sitting in) from the 80s.

My cousin had it on vinyl and whenever we went to visit, I always wanted to listen to it. Looking back on it now, no idea why.

My cousin had it on vinyl and whenever we went to visit, I always wanted to listen to it. Looking back on it now, no idea why. Flowers is solid, with lots of good Brian Jones and some hints at what was in store on the flawed follow-up, Their Satanic Majesties Request - only waaay better. So much of Satanic is not even listenable anymore, but there's still a lot on Flowers (Between the Lines/Aftermath in the US catalog) that I quite like.
February 19, 200620 yr It's been so long since I listened to the record, I had to look at what exactly was on it... and now I remember why I loved it so much. I remember the first four songs completely blowing me away. Even when I was little.

February 20, 200620 yr Author There are times when I wonder how the Stones would turn out to be if Jones hadn’t left the band at such a young age. Of course, his psychedelic drug addiction and his resentment with Jagger/Richards wouldn’t last very long and Mick Taylor would come in to replace him afterwards.
February 20, 200620 yr Author Time! The votes are in and the results are in as well. Seems like there will be another three way match in the semi since Hendrix and the Stones received 8 votes each . . .

I must have been thinking of "Sway", which he didn't get any credit for (or at least any partial credit).

There are some good ones. I have some Lonestar Roadhouse show from the mid 80s where Keith sits in for a few tracks.
