Rolling Stones draft signup/discussion thread

One song left from each of Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers. Will any of them be completed?

[Erik]

I'm puzzled why another B&B one isn't getting any love.

If you're talking about the one that gets occasional radio play, I always found it kind of silly. The Stones have much better songs in that style.

It may be a little silly, but the guitar work is really nice. I'm still thinking of picking it, even though you've totally disrespected it (and possibly me by extension). I may declare total anarchy and pick both songs left on my short list.

Ha ha, the 'controversy' still rages over this song! Back in the day I used to be in the thumbs-down camp myself, now I love it. And the lead guitar is an interesting story.

Well, the wife doesn't like either one of my last two choices, so I don't know what I'll do now. Maybe punt.

As you can tell from my choices, i am not a fan of "slow" songs from the Rolling Stones. Apart from some early ones and Angie, the slower tunes picked in this draft do nothing for me music-wise.

Agreed. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a slow one on my roster either. Jagger's voice is best when he's rocking, and Keith's guitar only stands out when he's riffing.

Sticky Fingers, for whatever reason, has a lot of great slow songs on it. Something about the vibe of that record. But otherwise, I agree their fast stuff is better.

Three of the four songs on It's Only Rock and Roll that I could take or leave are slow.

Sticky Fingers, like other of their albums, was very eclectic. That is part of its charm to me.

I'm certainly not a Stones expert, but it seems that the period of 1968 to 1972 was just about as powerful for them as any similar five-year period for any other band. You have to think in terms of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and just a few more bands who put out as much great stuff in such a period.

Looks like a late round Mick Taylor run.

I haven't listened to anything from that record since the 90's (apart from the radio type tracks).

Time Waits for No One was already picked at 4.08

Oops.

Back to old school.

I know nothing about it. Hard to believe, I know!

Um discovering that a lot if their unreleased stuff is actually way better than the selected tracks.
