[Fresno Bob]

first time "on the wheel" in an RJ draft

[Erik]

Like Sheep, I did not want the #1 pick either. I think 4-5-6 is the sweet spot in the first few rounds.

[Mithrandir]

Excellent pick at number one Not what I would have taken, but a classic tune.

[Lucky]

Wow, it's hard to pick a single Stones tune. I can hardly stand to think about the songs that are going to go off the board by the time it gets back to me. But, I went ahead and picked one that really did it for me when it first came out, and still does it for me today.

Oddly, I picked a Stones tune in the first round of the Classic Rock draft, and this isn't it.

[johnnya24]

I have a short list of 3 ... I'll put all 3 on repeat and see which one survives.

This is an interesting piece about Tattoo You:

[revo]

I had to figure Sympathy for the Devil wouldn't slip down to 8......

[Erik]

...or 9.

But the other song that I would have taken with a high first rounder is still there.

[Erik]

My parents' record collection in the '70s consisted of classical, singer-songwriter pop (CSNY, Paul Simon, Carly Simon) and, for some reason, Goat's Head Soup, which they never played. I presume they bought it for the ballad, though I never asked.

GHS gets a bad rap, but it's no worse than any of their other post-Exile stuff. It's a victim of bad timing, coming immediately after the incredible run of Beggars Banquet through Exile. Anything would have been a letdown after that. "Heartbreaker" has always been one of my favorite Stones songs.

I would not have passed by me at #5.

I was 11 years old when I first heard/saw the Rolling Stones on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. Some of their music I have heard so much that it can cloud my judgement. I have to make sure I remember why it was played so much.

I think I will find this draft interesting to see what the younger members of the site will like for their own rosters.
