I made my own FIFTY compilation (actually two of them so far, one in chronological order, another that is somewhat more clever, I guess - it starts with Jumpin' Jack Flash of course...). Took a number of tracks from the hits comps that sound the best, some edit versions, deleted some that some might scream as criminal but it makes sense, added some later LP tracks and...some lesser known/popluar songs and...does anyone think the Stones are really going to release ANOTHER HITS COMPILATION? Just because it's been "fifty years"?

...and the reason why you haven't posted the list is?

for the fiftieth time...

two 3 cd sets coming

50 unreleased things sooner

51 greatest licks later

my personal wish is 50 greatest videos

They haven't released anything in that regard, since Video Rewind in '84...they are overdue!

much in line with my thinking...

here's a list i did a couple years ago for the fiftieth, but only did 45,

til year 51 and wont include any new ones, i'll add six more/revise asap)

Dandelion
Dead Flowers

hmmm, i think that list was my favorite songs NOT on 40 Licks

so i'll leave it at 45, which with the 36 biggies on 40 licks, brings my
total to 81

i'm a bit confused, and don't feel like digging up 40 licks, but i think
that's right. who knows. who cares. i got more than 81 i LOVE that's
for sure.

Unless more unreleased material comes out there won't be any for the Twenty Tens, not ten songs worth anyway!

treaclefingers and WeLoveToPlayThe Blues...

Um, sorry guys....

Something released in 2005 and something released in 2010 or 2012 are not part of the same decade.

For the '00s we only have A Bigger Bang and 4-gettable Licks. For the whole decade.

I know, kinda pathetic to call yourself a real 'band' with that kind of output, eh? But hey, they're Rock Royalty and we should be thankful they've graced the earth and taken our money. (yeah, sarcasm).

Let's face it, all they've been doing for a whole decade is celebrating anniversaries of this and that. They're The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band after all, right? We know this because they've been telling us so for over 40 years.

Your quarrel is with WLTPTB, and not me Jamie. I've done the decades, as each 10 year block they have been in existence, not 'the 60s, the 70s, etc.

So, for clarification purposes, I went 1962-71, 1972-81, and so forth.

That makes my list accurate for my purposes. If we're going with WLTPTB, then I agree he is trying to add stuff in from 2010-2012 in that last decade, and really, we need to be starting on decade #6 for that.

I will stick by my original list. My list is less forgiving, as it gives more weight to later career material, which is unfortunate.

If I were to cull 50 of their best songs (in my opinion) there could be no way to hammer out the decades like that. It would bascially be a few early hits, the late 60's. the 70's, a few from the early 80's and maybe 5-6 from the Vegas Era.

I know. I was just going along with the 'decade' thing although not the way Treacle had it (2000-2010 is 11 years etc). I know 1980 is not the first year/beginning of the 1980s, it is the last year of the 1970s.

True. By default, saying the Twenty Hundreds means two things - the century and the first 10 years, starting with 2001. So...yes, technically, the Some Girls UMe reissue is in the Twenty Tens. But I lumped it in with just the Twenty Hundreds. Apologies to all!

Absolutely RIGHT!

It makes little sense to release such a collection with equal weight given to each decade. Leave off a couple of dozen superior songs to make room for mediocre ones?

No Thanks, I won't be buying that.

The track list I made was the usual 60s tracks (I actually don't have them ALL), quite considerate of the 70s tracks, a few good ones from the 80s and then...it gets really thin. I left out SFTD, Paint It Black and Honky Tonk Women for some reason.

It's just shits and giggles of course.

Eggsactly!

The entertainment value was to try and give equal weight to each decade. The one I really struggled with was the the 4th decade (no surprise there). The fifth decade got easier because of the (IMHO) superior ABB but mostly the Exile and Some Girls extra tracks on the deluxe editions.

Simply superb. (and yes, I understand that is cheating, but we're going by release dates, not recording dates!)

The decade that truly suffered was decade one, which could easily have had 30 of the 50. Who are we kidding, they could have had all 50 culled from there!

That's what disappointed me greatly with Forty Licks. Putting in 4 useless new songs with Mixed Emotions, Love Is Strong, You Got Me Rocking, Anybody Seen My Baby "democratically" shoe-horned in - that's 8 songs leaving only room for 12 earlier songs that people might have wanted from, say, Sticky Fingers, Exile or even Tattoo You.

Dno't get me wrong, there's a good chunk of songs I don't care for on disc one (19th Nervous Breakdown, Have You SEen Your Mother, Mother's Little Helper, their BLAND version of It's All Over Now), but for the older 'historian' fans I guess you need them and I'm okay with that - gotta please the folks who were alive in the 60s I guess.
