What is your favorite Rolling Stones song?

[idgiehkt]

Post a youtube link if you want. I've always loved Emotional Rescue even though it isn't one of their most popular songs

Emotional Rescue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1oaZfL8pKg

[KitchenWitch]

1. Shattered.

[idgiehkt]

3. here is a really nice live version

I'm in a Rolling Stones kind of mood tonight and I've got and hour and a half to kill before Da Vinci's Inquest comes on

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NUyUtyem2s

[SPKrazy]

4. you could always

write me

:rofl:


;)

[idgiehkt]

59. Here's one just for you SPK...

since I decided to spend the evening watching Stones videos instead of pm-ing

Little Red Rooster
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4t3tgqpyoQ&NR

[SPKrazy]

171. Wull Thanks!

:hug:

:hi:

[PassingFair]

77. Toss up between Dead Flowers and....

Out of Time ....

and BITCH.

[idgiehkt]

132. here is a club performance of Bitch in '72

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKxcdrxwtN4

[Richardo]

78. Bingo

I'm so glad that was the first answer...

[SPKrazy]

2. Wildhorses

:shrug:

really it is ;) not just because of our wildhorses either! :evilgrin:

that and Sympathy for the devil

[idgiehkt]

6. wow

I'd forgotten what a beautiful song that is. Amazing they made such evocative romantic songs for having such a macho image.

here is a live performance from '76
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2EhzsD02QI

[mitchum]

149. That's because Gram Parsons wrote "Wild Horses"...

despite the Jagger/Richard songwriting credit

[idgiehkt]

157. wow

thanks for the info... :hi:

[stuntcat]

81. me too, Wild Horses

I put it first always causea the horsies :blush:

[Nicole]

5. I can't pick just one!

Paint It Black
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59YAniteUb0


Time Is On My Side
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2Em7uB-KN0

Bonus: a Stones favorite sung by another artist.

As Tears Go By
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP4No2xRJeM

[idgiehkt]

9. Paint it Black

that is a really dark song...brings back some memories.

I used to love to listen to Hot Rocks over and over and over again when I was drinking. These guys are so unique...plus I think Mick is a closet drag queen

:hi:

I need to listen to "Time is on My Side", that is kind of the theme of my life right now, just being patient...

[Nicole]

15. Yes, it is dark.

It was a good song for nursing a heartache with tequilla. :rofl:

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

14. them are great too

it's hard to not like the stoners

did you ever see "Fallen" with "time on my side"

everytime I hear that song I think of that movie now :rofl:

[idgiehkt]

16. no

I never saw that. Man I'm gettin' all melancholy and nostalgic listening to all these songs...

:hi:

[Nicole]

32. No, I didn't see that movie.

I avoid horror movies, I'm such a baby. :cry:

[SPKrazy]

202. I Guess It Is "Horror" but in a thinking kind of way

not in so much of a "gotcha" kind of way...

suspense genre is what i'd call it as opposed to horror. suspense scares me more


I'll hold you :hug:

[darkstar]

7. Tumblin' Dice

is the feel good groove for me....

:hi:

[idgiehkt]

19. yep, another good one

(is there such a thing as a bad Stones song?)

they were a great live band too...I can't believe I've never seen them live

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjU1yFiEVKE

[reformedrepub]

8. Start me up........

Classic.

[idgiehkt]

21. yep

Mick is such a goof. I love watching him dance in this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1h7zZAs3OI

He's such a queen.

[wildhorses]

110. should've known this was already posted

you can see where michael jackson got his moves....

[Initech]

10. Gimme Shelter

And I know it's not the most popular Stones album but I love "Their Satanic Majesty's Request".

[idgiehkt]

24. yep

Gimme Shelter is one of the most moving rock 'n' roll songs ever written, I can't even listen to it without getting chills all over

great live performance from '69 (but without the backup singer...bummer)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGAWE7l-fgU

here's one from '90 that has the backup singers (I wish I knew their names)...the song is not the same without them for sure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2e0-XcHklk&mode=related&search= :headbang:

[MnFats]

40. Gimme Shelter is absolutely perfect.

the vocal by Merry Clayton, a teen at the time, is stunning.
with Mick and Mick Taylor's guitar....you can see the four horsemen approaching...

[idgiehkt]

48. yes, that vocal is a force of nature

She made that song. When I listen to it it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. :hi:

[MissMillie]

80. that's the one!

for sure

[jpgray]

120. You and Scorsese both

[Kajsa]

204. Yep, it's a toss up between 'Gimme Shelter'

and 'Jumping Jack Flash'.

[Orsino]

208. Exactly. How the heck does one pick? n/t

[Left Is Write]

11. I like Emotional Rescue too. I've never been a big Stones fan, but

I also enjoy Jumpin' Jack Flash and Honky Tonk Women.

[idgiehkt]

26. I like both of those two

jumpin jack flash from '68...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZZaR_K47ps

well it's alright now... in fact it's a gas

[idgiehkt]

141. Honky Tonk Women

since it hasn't been posted yet
Hyde Park, '69
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WV02sDDzaw&mode=related&search=

if you don't want to start dancing when you hear the opening chords of this song, you are dead.

[Ptah]

12. Sympathy For The Devil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQIOVrIteuQ

[idgiehkt]

27. man those drums sound awesome live!!

thanks for the link :hi: :loveya:

with everyone of these I am just kicking myself for not seeing them live, every one of these performances I've seen so far has been really, really good.

[underpants]

91. FatBoySlim's remix with footage from Rock n roll circus

"Watchdog groups say, they warned us"
Check out the print on the newspaper (Latin)
http://journals.democraticunderground.com/underpants/69

[idgiehkt]

134. it's been yanked

maybe it's on there somewhere else...I hate it when they do that. Nobody watches videos on the video channels anymore so they might as well give it up and just let you tube sell adverting for them or something.

[Tikki]

13. "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadows"....

..."tell me a story about how you adore me".....

:P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxtTU0PUwrs

Tikki

[idgiehkt]

29. wow

I don't think I have ever heard that. Thanks for posting that video, I wonder when it was shot, I guess mid to late sixties....

:hi:

[Monk06]

56. They played that song on Ed Sullivan in 1966. Mick was playing an

amplified up right piano rigged with guitar
pick ups. Very loud and very zany.

[asthmaticeog]

105. Seconded.

I freakin' LOVE that tune. :thumbsup:

[tcfrogs]

17. She's a Rainbow

No YT link, sorry.

[SPKrazy]

18. but she comes in colors everywhere...

like to meet her :P

[idgiehkt]

33. well

I kind of like this one with the Marianne Faithful pics, so how 'bout that one :) :hi:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOuo4maqTew

[NightWatcher]

20. Don't you play with me cause, you're playin with Fire

Play With Fire,
or
Mother's Little Helper

[idgiehkt]

36. that is a great one

On "Shindig" in 1965
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rycqYLm0mUE

kind of menacing...

[rug]

22. Waiting on a friend

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nJRJXy7viVc&mode=related&search=

[Nicole]

37. I love that one!

That was one of the first videos I remember watching after we got MTV here.

[idgiehkt]

38. yes!

I just love those melancholy notes at the beginning. It's weird because for all his cockiness so many of their songs were so emotionally raw and honest. :hi:

Great video :)

[Reverend_Smitty]

23. Gimme Shelter or Sympathy for the Devil

I don't think I could choose between the two

[idgiehkt]

39. yep

those two have a profound impact on me when I listen to them...a lot of their songs are really light but those two are pretty heavy :hi:

[enigmatic]

25. "Moonlight Mile"

Off Sticky Fingers, their best record..

[idgiehkt]

41. this is pretty cool

painting Mick to Moonlight Mile (I can't find a video or performance)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFXhZ6g52K8

This song is really heavy...awesome. :hi:

[QMPMom]

28. Paint It Black. n/t

[idgiehkt]

42. yep

Nicole posted a video from the sixties and here is alive one from it looks like the 90's (maybe 80's)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f_yci2ugpM

[tk2kewl]

84. .

:thumbsup:

[Ariana Celeste]

148. that's really the only one i like

when my best friend and i were together, he used to sing it to me when we were on the phone at night

[AshevilleGuy]

30. Let's Spend the Night Together

From back in 1966 when London was the swingingest place on earth.

[idgiehkt]

43. here's one from '67 on "Top of the Pops"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHVdjuIFtqo

man I love watching these old performances...one more reason to love youtube.

[AshevilleGuy]

49. It won't play

but thanks anyway. Keeps stopping.

[idgiehkt]

52. I didn't have any problem with it

I might have something to do with some computer type snufu-ie thing on your end or something...

:shrug:

Sorry you can't get it to work, I'm watching it again and they are SO cute back then :)

[Theduckno2]

31. Ruby Tuesday.

Sympathy For The Devil is great too and I reluctantly admit I still get a charge when The Last Time plays on the oldie station.

[idgiehkt]

44. that one is really

melancholy.

Here they are on Ed Sullivan singing it and the screaming is almost grating, lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt06L_UVIDM

[bridgit]

34. i like'ah bunch, but i like this one too...

Rolling stones Live Love is strong

this one too: Rolling stones Live Live with me

and you know i like this one: Rolling Stones - The Worst (Keith Richards) - Miami 1994 :headbang:

[idgiehkt]

45. those are great

I'm amazed at how much really good live stuff there is on youtube by the Stones...alot of times I don't have patience with the live stuff but they are really consistent.

:hi: :loveya:

man I feel stupid not knowing Mick could play harmonica like that. :shrug:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

35. Waiting On A Friend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiCr_52ipMw

Also, You Can't Always Get What You Want

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh1TtfIOm8o&mode=related&search=

[idgiehkt]

46. yep

you can't always get what you want. I can't believe we got this far down before someone posted that one. :hi:

[idgiehkt]

47. posting this just because I'm afraid it won't get posted otherwise

this is another one of my favorites besides Emotional Rescue...I like the sassy ones.

She's So Cold
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrRSEVRgqVY

[LibDemAlways]

50. Self delete

[LibDemAlways]

51. I'm partial to "Salt of the Earth."

[idgiehkt]

55. wow, this is interesting

John and Yoko are in the beginning of this, must be from the 70's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjEfgMB0mhY

[johnnie]

75. That's from the Rock and Roll Circus

1968

[idgiehkt]

195. thanks johnnie

:hi:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_roll_circus

[Alexander]

53. Can't You Hear Me Knockin'

Not really, but someone already said Ruby Tuesday, and that's a damn fine song anyway.

[idgiehkt]

57. groovy

here is a live one from 2003
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsgxiKe0c_0

I swear Mick just got better with age...he has enough attitude for several lifetimes. :hi:

my computer timed out in the middle of this video and that always kills it on my end but I don't know if it effects everyone or just me.

[gmoney]

83. "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" was the first thing to hit me...

although it's tough to pick just one... or just 10...

[ghostsofgiants]

54. I'm not a huge Stones fan, but I love "I Am Waiting."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKVrYDSyTBk

[idgiehkt]

58. nice

a good mellow night-time lullabye

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

60. I probably wouldn't even know the song if it wasn't for this...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8137271476024676334

[idgiehkt]

61. I love it

nice...I just watched the part with the Stones song though because I'm in the middle of my show, lol, the rest of it looks even better, I bookmarked it for tomorrow :hi:

:)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

62. Gimme Shelter.

[idgiehkt]

63. no

give ME shelter! j/k

:hi:

it's posted up thread...that is a great one. :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

67. Well, if I have to.

:D :hi:

[idgiehkt]

68. ooh, Daddy

You're a fool to cry... (from '76)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSo5Azmzllg

sorry, just needed an excuse to post another favorite...this is probably my second favorite after emotional rescue.

:hi:

[idgiehkt]

64. okay, so nobody likes these?

Satisfaction (on Ed Sullivan in '66)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_2aHrXza8I

Angie (mid 70's?)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbZcslc9M78

Beast of Burden (on SNL in '78)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FMR9935zoM

Get off my cloud ('65)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0sIJA8qY0E

[Skittles]

65. It's All Over Now

Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
She hurt my eyes open, thats no lie
Tables turn and now her turn to cry

[idgiehkt]

66. here is a live one from '94

lol, he refers to it as "ancient history"...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y95SrUOW5xs

has a nice rockabilly sound to it... :hi:

[Drum]

69. So many...but I wanna say "Slave"

from the Tattoo You album.

:shrug:

[idgiehkt]

70. I saw that earlier

when I was looking at their discography...this is the first one I've found that isn't on youtube :(

(it probably is, it's probably just spelled 'salve' on there or something, lol) :hi:

[Drum]

71. It's not a tremendously sophisticated song or anything...

certainly no superhit like Gimme Shelter or Sympathy for The Devil, but the bass-line just grabs me.

:hi: and g'night!

[Lindsey]

72. I'm a HUGH fan and I couldn't possibly pick my favorite but one that

comes to mind at this point is "19th Nervous Breakdown." (or is it actually called "Mother's littler helper." - It's 1:30 a.m. so I'm a little off right now).

[idgiehkt]

131. I can't find

19th nervous breakdown on youtube, which blows my mind...(someone may just not know how to spell 19th or something, it should be on there)

here is a fan made vid of mother's little helper
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKRxiEUQtEU

[MrSlayer]

73. "Sway", track two on Sticky Fingers.

But there are so many great ones. The Stones are my third favorite band.

[regularguy]

85. Man, I remeber cutting out of HS

and heading back to my house with my friend, smoking a giant pile of herb, and putting Sticky Fingers in the 8-track player. We both had some sort of ecstatic reaction to that song, I rember it like it was yesterday and not 30 years ago.

[MrSlayer]

169. There is a tremendous amount of emotion in the song.

Not only in the way Jagger sings it but also in the music. The solo at the end is full of emotion.

[Throwing Stones]

112. I had forgotten that it's track two

I almost always skip Brown Sugar (can hear it any time by putting on one of the classic rock radio stations), so Sway has always been track one for me

[enigmatic]

127. Alejandro Escovedo does a fantastic version of Sway

off his exellent album, Bourbonitis Blues. It's well worth checking out:

http://www.alejandroescovedo.com/

[idgiehkt]

128. I posted it downthread

who are your first and second favorites?

[MrSlayer]

168. Slayer and Led Zeppelin

Are one and two.

[idgiehkt]

196. lol, oops

I didn't even make the connection... "Mr. Slayer"

:rofl:

[MrSlayer]

197. Most people miss it.

They usually think I'm some kind of maniac serial killer or something.

[SKKY]

74. Sympathy for the Devil...

...But, the Jane's Addiction cover is sooo much better than the original.

[idgiehkt]

95. here is the version from Rock 'n' Roll circus

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H1M8038Ffs

I have to say I don't like Mick's hair this dark :P

[mitchum]

151. The Jane's Addiction version sounds like some sloppy bar band...

with a bad singer covering the song. That's because that's exactly what is going on :)

[Strawman]

200. Laibach does the best cover(s) of that song

http://youtube.com/watch?v=4_zA7nukoZA

[taterguy]

76. The Under-assistant West Coast Promo Man

Haven't checked to see if it's on Youtube

[idgiehkt]

96. nope, no youtube

here are the lyrics...ouch

http://www.lyricsdepot.com/the-rolling-stones/the-under-assistant-west-coast-promotion-man.html

[swag]

79. "Silver Train"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVRh76G5yLM

[idgiehkt]

98. Mick is glammed up in this, lol

from '73, I don't know what show it is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVRh76G5yLM

[swag]

133. I first saw the clip on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert.

I think they did a whole set.

[Courtesy Flush]

82. "It's only rock and roll (but I like it)" Great song

I named my first boat "Beast of Burden"

[idgiehkt]

100. in sailor suits

:rofl:

Charlie Watts looks so cute in the hat

Top of the Pops, '74
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-BxLbMT2s4

[guitar man]

86. Beast of Burden

I love that tune. And, for a twist, here's a rough old live recording of my old band Filet of Soul doing our warped version of it at a smoky old dive. :)

http://strmkr0.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/beast.mp3

[idgiehkt]

103. I dowloaded it and now

it won't play...it came up saying I needed a new plug in or something...argghhh...

[regularguy]

87. Midnight Rambler

maybe Sway or RocksOff

[idgiehkt]

106. from '72

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W2xFIP--BE

there are tons of live performances of this on youtube...they really are the greatest blues-based rock 'n' roll band ever

[Arkansas Granny]

88. Has to be Brown Sugar or Honky Tonk Women because they

both make me want to get up and dance (which I have done on countless occasions). Waiting on a Friend is also a favorite of mine.

[idgiehkt]

109. yep those are both

nice...this is from Top of the Pops
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUmYuTLrFJM

watching this I understand why he wears his clothes so tight because when he wears loose ones he looks like a skeleton

[NoGOPZone]

89. Heartbreaker from Goat's Head Soup nt

[idgiehkt]

113. Yes!!

that is the one i was trying to think of but couldn't remember the name of it. I looked up "Undercover of the night" but that wasn't it but I knew it was one of the songs that was kind of social commentary, which was kind of rare for them (at least that blatantly)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9RJV6kI1ec

[raccoon]

90. Out of Time. nt

[idgiehkt]

115. can't find

that one on youtube. I wonder what is behind all these jilted songs

Lyrics:
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rolling+stones/out+of+time_20118057.html

wonder who it was that broke their hearts that made them write stuff like this and paint it black and under my thumb, etc.

[sammythecat]

92. Prodigal Son hasn't been taken yet.

That's a good one, as is everything else from Beggar's Banquet. That's by far my favorite album of theirs.

[idgiehkt]

116. this is really nice

Madison Square Gardens, 1969
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1VZWnwP8A4

[sammythecat]

137. Thanks for that.

I never saw it performed. I always pictured him singing that in 19th century workman's clothes rather than a cape and scarf.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

93. I have many

but a great example of great rock and roll is "Rip this Joint"- 2 and half minutes of social commentary and a hard driving beat!

[idgiehkt]

118. I like it

a concert video of their '95 tour
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2kuaXzHmQk


Mama says yes, papa says no,
Make up you mind cause I gotta go.
Im gonna raise hell at the union hall,
Drive myself right over the wall.

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul,
Round and round and round we go.
Roll this joint, gonna get down low,
Start my starter, gonna stop the show.
Oh, yeah!

Mister president, mister immigration man,
Let me in, sweetie, to your fair land.
Im tampa bound and memphis too,
Short fat fanny is on the loose.
Dig that sound on the radio,
Then slip it right across into buffalo.
Dick and pat in ole d.c.,
Well theyre gonna hold some shit for me.

Ying yang, youre my thing,
Oh, now, baby, wont you hear me sing.
Flip flop, fit to drop,
Come on baby, wont you let it rock?

Oh, yeah! oh, yeah!
From san jose down to santa fe,
Kiss me quick, baby, wontcha make my day.
Down to new orleans with the dixie dean,
cross to dallas, texas with the butter queen.

Rip this joint, gonna rip yours too,
Some brand new steps and some weight to lose.
Gonna roll this joint, gonna get down low,
Round and round and round well go.

Wham, bham, birmingham, alabam dont give a damn.
Little rock fit to drop.
Ah, let it rock.

[kwassa]

94. All Down The Line

A great clip of a live performance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I98d82U72YM

[idgiehkt]

119. great clip

I watched the bootleg on there someone took in 2003 and it is just as good...they seem to be consistently really good live

edit: here is the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wvPJVOrtWk

it takes a while for the video to come of and it ain't that good needless to say but it's worth listening to because they are so good

[kwassa]

145. here is a link to a cleaner video of the first clip I posted

[BurtWorm]

101. MONKEY MAN

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true

I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?

But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?

Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through

Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?

Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues

Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman
Monkey woman too, babe!

I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
I'm a monkey man! I'm a monkey man!
I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
Monkey! monkey! monkey!.......

[idgiehkt]

122. that is a great one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qzdqt2eb30

I think that is from '95....there is a video on youtube where someone set pictures of GWBush to that song, lol

[Radical Activist]

140. Mine too.

Or Can't you hear me Knockin. Those are my top two I suppose.

104. I'm not a big Stones fan

but Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil always remind me of a particularly interesting (!) period of time in my life.

[idgiehkt]

123. they are both such strong songs

kind of departures...very evocative :hi:

[Throwing Stones]

108. Tie: Sway and Rocks Off

Two great, gritty, hard effing rock tunes!

[idgiehkt]

124. yep

I love this too

from the '95 VL tour
Rocks off
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TndWP9yW7XU

Here is Sway from last summer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzRQn7mGoTw

[mitchum]

117. "Brown Sugar"...I stole a tack from the tack piano used on the recording

It's a fantastic song. A history of the antebellum south with a wicked groove

[idgiehkt]

126. yep

I think it's posted up thread...I never thought of it that way but now that I am going over the lyrics in my head it kind of is and as a southerner thinking about it that way makes me uncomfortable. I wonder how many people actually think about that...it's always kind of made me squirm but I never pushed it back that far...of course when he says "sold in the market down in New Orleans"...damn.

[mitchum]

147. And "Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields..."...

is the opening line.
Jagger and Richards really are the most underrated lyricists in rockandroll

[Oeditpus Rex]

125. I can't believe nobody's said

"You Can't Always Get What You Want." It's only the greatest rock song EVarrr. :shrug:

[idgiehkt]

135. it's buried up there somewhere but it took a long time

Here is a peformance of it from '72, the one upthread is fairly recent
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56cQKPRL6NQ

[Oeditpus Rex]

143. Oops

And I'm the one who's always hollerin' at people for not reading all the posts. :blush:

It's a truly awesome, spell-binding song, but to me it just isn't quite right without the keyboard and the choir.

[idgiehkt]

144. I'm the same way with Gimme Shelter

without the backup vocalists on that song it's not the same but it does make you notice the guitar more :hi:

[Burma Jones]

129. Street Fightin Man - especially the live version on Git Your Ya Yas Out

[idgiehkt]

136. here is one from '72

street fighting man
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTKUFnoHo-k

[Burma Jones]

138. That's the best version I've heard yet - thank you so much

now, THAT'S Rock......

[Dr Fate]

130. "Not Fade Away","Empty Heart", "All Sold Out", "Citadel"& "Stray Cat blues"

I'm a fan of the Brian Jones Era.

My favorite Mick Taylor era tune might be "Shine a Light"

My fave Ron Wood era song might be "Some Girls"

[idgiehkt]

139. here is Not Fade Away from 1964

I didn't know it was the Buddy Holly song...wonder what moved them to cover it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH6DEPEWhqA

[Dr Fate]

142. They probably covered it b/c it has that great Bo Diddley rhythm/beat...

Every band and their brother in London was covering Bo Diddley songs at the time- If forced to guess, I'd say they wanted a fresher song with that beat & rhythm-one that no one else was covering.

I'll have to watch these videos tonight- I cant watch them at work...

Great thread- thanx.

[idgiehkt]

178. yep

I like to do these every once in a while and bookmark them so I don't have to go piling through youtube. Hopefully most of this stuff won't get yanked...it seems like they are only pulling the really modern videos off of youtube and then people just load them right back on. :hi:

[MAGICBULLET]

146. Three not mentioned as of yet

UNDERCOVER OF THE NIGHT - to dance to

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sthRYIB91P8>

UNDER MY THUMB - to drive to

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDPIY2FOpOY>

GET OFF MY CLOUD - to rock out to

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0sIJA8qY0E>

[idgiehkt]

154. yes

I found Undercover of the Night last night when I was looking for Heartbreaker. I remember that being a big deal when it came out but I can't remember why, it seems like there was a brouhaha about it. :hi:

[DubiousLee]

150. Shine a Light from Exile

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcTSSHL9dRo

[idgiehkt]

155. I'd forgotten about that one

Thanks, I love it when Mick sounds raw and desperate, lol. :hi:

[Throd]

152. Midnight Rambler

[idgiehkt]

161. yep

that one is posted upthread, a nice one. :hi:

[Forkboy]

153. The last one they record.

:evilgrin:

Oh ok....Paint It Black.

[idgiehkt]

156. ouch

lol.

Paint it Black really does have a unique sound to it.
:hi:

[Forkboy]

162. That's one of the reason's I still like it.

I like some real strange stuff,and that's a strange tune by their standards.

I really don't dislike them,though I haven't liked anything since Emotional Rescue.I'd survive if someone slapped on one of their old records.

Which is more than I could say for whatever victim tried to sit through my music. :)

[Pacifist Patriot]

158. I'm just going to agree with your answer. The entire answer.

[martymar64]

159. No Expectations

eom

[idgiehkt]

163. wow

I haven't heard that in years. Thanks for posting that one...really, really nice

No expectations (from 2003)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHNFDLrirJQ

[Ramsey]

160. Miss You

Great vibe to that song.

Also really like Emotional Rescue and Sympathy for the Devil

Oh, and Shattered!!!

[idgiehkt]

164. Wow, I can't believe that one hasn't come up yet

That is a GREAT song... love it

from '78
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U-ppc4lYyg

:bounce:

[NC_Nurse]

165. Sister Morphine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mb-aDH0Og0

[idgiehkt]

173. thanks

I don't even know if that one has even been mentioned, it's really nice. :hi:

[Madspirit]

166. I love them all...but...

I was listening to Girl With Faraway Eyes....just today.
Lee

[idgiehkt]

174. I'll have to look that up

online to download because it's not on you tube, drat :(

[Madspirit]

191. Just the lyrics....'cause I love this song...'cause it's funny...

Mick is hilarious singing this. I love this...sorry I just have the lyrics. I download from Limewire...if you don't mind getting it that way you can listen to it... It's how I get most of my music.

Faraway Eyes...The Rolling Stones:


I was drivin' home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listenin' to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know, you always have the Lord by your side."
And I was so pleased to be informed of this
That I ran twenty red lights in his honor.
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
I had an arrangement to meet a girl
And I was kinda late.
And I thought, by the time I got there,
She'd be off - She'd be off with the nearest truck-driver she could find.
Much to my surprise, there she was, sittin' in the corner -
A little bleary - worse for wear and tear -
She was the girl with far-away eyes.
So if you're down on your luck, and you can't harmonize,
Find a girl with far-away eyes.
And if you're downright disgusted , and life ain't worth a dang,
Get a girl with far-away eyes.
Well...

Well the preacher kept right on sayin' that all I had to do
Was to send ten dollars to the Church of the Sacred Bleedin' Heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California,
And next week, they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams'd come true.
So I did.
And next week, I got a prayer for the girl
W- well, you know what kinda eyes she gots.
So if you're down on your luck, I know you oughtta sympathize.
Find a girl with far-away eyes.
And if you're downright disgusted , and life ain't worth a dang,
Get a girl with far-away eyes.
So if you're down on your luck, I know you oughtta sympathize.
Get a girl with far-away eyes.

[idgiehkt]

192. thanks

:applause:

I know I've heard that even though I can't remember the tune right now. :hi:

[KamaAina]

167. I would say "Time Is On My Side", but...

it isn't really a Stones tune per se, but rather a cover of an old Irma Thomas B-side.

The preceding has been a shameless plug for New Orleans music: keeping North America soulful since 1718.

[idgiehkt]

175. thanks for the info

this is why I love the lounge. There is a huge wealth of music knowledge here that is untapped and every once in a while someone will share a gem. Thanks. :hi:

[BeatleBoot]

170. STREET FIGHTIN' MAN

Hands down (no pun intended).


:evilgrin:

[idgiehkt]

176. that is a good one

I posted an older version from the 70's upthread, here is one from 2003
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iUu32Lks3s

I wonder if they wrote this one? :hi:

[mark414]

172. "Rocks Off"

the best opening track on any album i've ever heard...

[idgiehkt]

177. believe it or not

it is buried in this thread somewhere. It is a great song, I agree. :) :hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

179. "You Can't Always Get What You Want"

But you just might find
You get what you need.

[idgiehkt]

186. yes

and many times what you want turns about to be the last thing you really need. :hi:

there is at least one version of that on here, maybe more. :)

[benny05]

180. This is too difficult to answer--but probably "Angie"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWtafE58dHk

Mick Taylor, RIP


I'll give some context with ones I like:

Song which resonates with me because of a break-up with my college sweetheart: "Angie"

Fun song to watch on DVD or Live in person: "You Can't Always Get What You Want"

Great snark song: "Far Away Eyes" or "Some Girls"

Best movie song: "Gimme Shelter" or "Sympathy for the Devil"

Radio Song melody: "Ruby Tuesday" or "Tumbling Dice" or "Beast of Burden"

First song I remember from Ed Sullivan: "Little Red Rooster"

[idgiehkt]

187. is he dead?

Possible stupid question but I can't find it anywhere online and if he died I missed it...or does this just refer to his time with the Stones?

I posted "Little Red Rooster" up above, it's a great clip, not sure if it's Ed Sullivan or a British show. :hi:

[lonestarnot]

181. The one with the lyrics "Got to scrape the shit right off my shoes" one.

[benny05]

182. Sweet Virginia

I almost listed that one too.

[lonestarnot]

183. That's the one!

[idgiehkt]

188. nice

I don't think this is on here yet

Sweet Virginia

[judaspriestess]

184. I love so many but what I really love is a young Mic Jagger

effing sexy hot man!! um now, different story but back then, damn

[idgiehkt]

185. yes.

some of the videos on here that are from the mid to late sixties are just great...he was so intense. As he got older he got more of a campy sense of humor about him but when he was young in some of those early clips he has that menacing and smoldering intensity that is just so hot. :)

[njdemocrat106]

189. Tie: "Play with Fire" and "As Tears Go By"

Some other favorites as well:

"Dance Little Sister" (from It's Only Rock & Roll)
"Mother's Little Helper"
"Tumbling Dice", "Rip This Joint", "Happy" (from Exile)
"Heart of Stone" (from Now!)
"My Obsession" (from Between the Buttons)
"Midnight Rambler" (from Let It Bleed)
"Heartbreaker" (from Goat's Head Soup)
"When the Whip Comes Down", "Before They Make Me Run" (from Some Girls)
"Out of Tears" (from Voodoo Lounge)
Mick Jagger's "Lucky in Love" (from his solo She's the Boss album)
I can't forget "Sweet Neo-Con" (from A Bigger Bang) as well, just for the subject matter.

Let face it; it's impossible for me to just name one Stones song I like. :)

[idgiehkt]

190. sweet neo-con

here they are on CNN talking about it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE9-VP2zFpg

Before They Make Me Run
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS6wwYZvZ9c
Richards sounds a bit like Bowie here (to me anyway :) )

[njdemocrat106]

193. Thanks for posting those videos!

I'll agree that Keef sounds a little Bowie-esque there. He looks and sounds pretty decent there, too (IMO).

[idgiehkt]

194. you're welcome

yes, it's quite a nice change of pace, he sounded better than I expected. :)

[Joe Fields]

198. Just about any one I listen to....Period!

[idgiehkt]

207. part of why

I ran this thread... nice to have a collection of Stones vids in one place :evilgrin:

[BulletproofLandshark]

199. Bitch

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lBe9LXnpKKI

[idgiehkt]

205. yep it has a bite

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

201. Mommy's Little Helper.

The lyrics to that song are so true in so many cases. I love that song. I wish I had my old cassettes here. They are still in storage. Too bad it takes forever for me to download youtube vids.

[SPKrazy]

203. Swear to gawdess!

I just was getting ready to post a link to it

so now I will do that!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKRxiEUQtEU

we thought of it at the same time wild, eh?

[idgiehkt]

206. that song

makes me sad when I listen to it.

But it's always good to see you! :hi:

[mvd]

209. "Sympathy For The Devil"

"Paint It Black" a close second.
