bluesboy Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well, she's coming off surgery... so a day or so would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 RockyRaccoon, you have Sympathy For The Devil listed twice. Fixed it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrilliantDisguise Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 BrilliantDisguise, you have Under My Thumb listed twice. Fixed it...thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 1. Jumpin' Jack Flash 2. Sympathy For The Devil 3. Can't You Hear Me Knocking 4. Paint It Black 5. Shine A Light 6. You Can't Always Get What You Want 7. Gimme Shelter 8. Brown Sugar 9. Midnight Rambler 10. Stray Cat Blues 11. Sway 12. Tumbling Dice I'll leave it at this, but it could honestly change depending on the day. All of the songs listed, plus most of the Stones' entire catalog, are rock and roll at its best.

edna Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 So we all agree that this is the most difficult Special ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 No, a Special for The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin or The Who would be equally as hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 But not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well, as much as I love those groups, especially the Floyd, I think I'd have a difficult time narrowing it down to 10-12 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 We've done a Beatles special before....not sure how long ago it was....wouldn't mind doing another one sometime....I'm sure we have a few new members since then...or maybe a few who didn't get to participate the first time...

Rayzor Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I didn't find this all that tough. If it were AC/DC, Led Zep or The Doors then I'd have trouble with it. A Mr. Neil Young ten would make my head implode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yes, sure, If we had to chose our ten fave songs ever it would be just as hard... but this one has been a real pain for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Bluesboy, do you know if Lucky is going to participate or not? I'm waiting on her before I post the results. Thank you for waiting .... that was why I asked if this would run the full cycle (until Monday) .... I'm literally half blind, had major eye surgery. Here are my votes: 1. You Can't Always Get What You Want 2. Wild Horses 3. Sympathy For The Devil 4. Gimme Shelter 5. Midnight Rambler 6. Get Off Of My Cloud 7. Faraway Eyes 8. Waiting on a Friend 9. Beast Of Burden 10. Let's Spend The Night Together 11. Mother's Little Helper 12. Ruby Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I'm sorry Lucky, hope you feel better during recovery. I figured this special didn't need to wait as long, since there was no nomination stage and it didn't require much listening.

pinkstones Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Gimme Shelter is IMO, their best song. Good to see it reign supreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I don't mind this list... unfortunate to not see "Angie" in there, though. Still makes for a good Top Ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
