Paint It Black

.. and yes I love the look.

 

[Aphro]

I'm shocked none of you perves has mentioned Little T & A.

She's my little rock n' roll, ah ha aaah...

 

[Aglaopheme]

Great live version of Sister Morphine

I'm most partial to the Jimmy Miller produced Stones records. There's so much in that time period from that Stones that is so good. My favorite song probably is Can't you Hear Me Knockin'. That opening riff is just the most badass thing they've ever done. Its hard to pick a favorite in anything for me, because on any given day, as mood and circumstance changes, so can my favorite.

As for a PERFECT production, a lesson in how to make an interesting and compelling song in the recording studio, I'd choose "You Can't Always Get What You Want." It is the band and Jimmy Miller at their finest. I won't give my doctoral dissertation here, but rest assured, I could.

That was a great live version, Algo.

The Sticky Fingers album cover. I am on the look out for the original vinyl, complete with the real zipper.

Lance, is your favourite Stones tune Under My Thumb?

 

[Aphro]

I've got one.

Bastard! What can I trade?

 

[pointless]

i don't do favorites, but off the top of my head: rocks off.

 

[pointless]

my favorite stones cover is super easy even though it makes me a hypocrite.

[Aglaopheme]

That's a good one. I like Dead Flowers.

I like this one that the Stones covered. Love in Vain Blues

Dead Flowers was my choice and I love the TVZ version.

 

[pointless]

from the brian jones era: 2000 man.

yeah, yeah. i know her satanic majesty is supposed to suck but this song and she's a rainbow fucking rule.

the original is great, but townes fucking owns that song as far as i'm concerned.

 

[pointless]

i also really like brown sugar.

 

[jezzilee]

My ex and his best friend (who died of cancer) used to play Dead Flowers a lot. I still have a cd with them playing it. Now I have to find it when I get home and listen.

I was always partial to Keith Richards. I liked Slipping Away from Steel Wheels. I don't know why, but Keith on vocals was always something I enjoyed...almost as much as I like watching Charlie Watts on drums. That man has a love of drumming!

Little T & A happens to be Richards singing lead.

Another of my absolute favorites Infamy

 

[jomar]

Yeah, lots of good ones. I'm partial to sticky fingers so I'll go with wild horses, closely followed by a bunch of others.

 

[pointless]

the thing i used to love about sticky fingers is there's a drug reference in basically every song. not really all the hard to guess why.

oh, and the music's great. it was right in the middle of their peak, really.

also, moonlight mile.

 

[pointless]

and just one more (this is why i don't do favorites. i have millions of them):

midnight rambler

The Verve wrote a song.
Bittersweet Symphony.
A great song, I think their only hit.
Mick j sued them saying it copied one of their songs.
(it sounds nothing like any Stones song)
The Verve had no money to fight the Stones' lawyers.
Mick j and Keith r were credited with writing it.
And every time it's played, Mick and Keith get paid.
Not The Verve.
I think it's bullshit and really petty of Mick J to pull that crap.

umm, listen to this, dude.

 

[pensivepoet]

umm, listen to this, dude.

I accept they copied that music, but I don't think that sounds anything like The Last Time.
That's like suing Kid Rock for taking Zevon's werewolfs of London to open all summer long.
All I'm saying is that Mick and Keith have plenty of money.
They could've let this slide.
I still think it was petty.

Lance, is your favourite Stones tune Under My Thumb?

Ha!....no. I've been a stones fan forever, have a bunch of their bootleg albums and rarities, etc.

I enjoy their "country" tunes a lot and think they could easily release a Country compilation album with one or two new tracks.

The Girl With Faraway Eyes, for example, is a personal sing-along fave, as is Let It Bleed.
