SF 6 LIB 3

6 to 3?!?!

My heart is thumpin' louder than a big bass drum!

Don't think Bitch would ever trump Rambler though...as good as Brown Sugar is, how can it possibly be better than GS?

Just think about it in concert...

In concert GS sucks since 1975.

OK, stop the insanity!

NO Im sane. Im serious. GS doesn't work live except for 1972 and 1975. 1975 thanks to Billy and Keiths effect box. 1972 thanks to the band and Nicky. 1972 is the only live version worth mentioning.

Yep, you're insane Many 1973 versions beat many 1972 versions. Let's do a track by track boot comparison!

Yes

FB, great idea. Can I ask you to do it? I need to pass the baton, I bust my hump as it is day in day out on this website, sometimes working a double shift, replete with clever observations, witty repartee and general inane banter.

Something has to give!

Whaddya say, for IORR?!

Bitch is better on record than Midnight Rambler.

Midnight Rambler, of course, is better live.


As great as Gimme Shelter is, Brown Sugar is simply a better song overall.

it's worth noting that the Stones recorded "brown sugar" "wild horses" and "you got to move" the same year as they recorded let it bleed - indeed, before let it bleed was even released - and that this was also the year they recorded honky tonk women.

1969 was a very good year for the stones.

Gimme Shelter vs Brown Sugar - Gimme Shelter
Love In Vain vs Sway - Love In Vain
Country Honk vs Wild Horses - Wild Horses
Live With Me vs Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Live With Me
Let It Bleed vs You Gotta Move - Let It Bleed
Midnight Rambler vs Bitch - Bitch
You Got The Silver vs I Got The Blues - You Got The Silver
Monkey Man vs Sister Morphine - Monkey Man
YCAGWYW vs Moonlight Mile - YCAGWYW

There is no doubt that both LIB and SF are great, but for me LIB beats SF by 5 lenghts.
LIB 7 - SF 2.

You Got The Silver vs I Got The Blues

Never noticed the parallel of the colors before

The garbage disposal won't work. Don't know whether to just replace it or try to fix it first. Rough decision and the wife wants it done this afternoon. That's what she told me on Sunday!

Ok, if Let it Bleed wins I replace it, if Sticky Fingers wins I try to fix it first. Here goes....


Gimme Shelter vs. Brown Sugar - BS is a better song, but GS is a better opener. Maybe a carrot is either clogging or busted the disposal. Tie. //LiB 1/2 SF 1/2

Love In Vain vs. Sway - Sway because trying to fix the disposal would be in vain. // LiB 1/2 SF 1 1/2

Country Honk vs. Wild Horses - WH because the wife is honking at me to get busy with the disposal.// LiB 1/2 SF 2 1/2

Live With Me vs. Can't You Hear Me Knocking - CYHMK because that's the sound i'll be making while hammering on the disposal.// LiB 1/2 SF 3 1/2

Let It Bleed vs. You Got To Move - my wife is telling me I gotta move it, but as soon as i do my fingers will be bleeding from hitting them with the hammer. LIB // LiB 1 1/2 SF 3 1/2

Midnight Rambler vs. Bitch - getting up off my ass and getting busy is a real bitch, so I'll take Rambler. // LiB 2 1/2 SF 3 1/2

You Got The Silver vs. I Got The Blues - Yep, i'm feeling kind of blue about what is about to become of my afternoon, so YGtS wins// LiB 3 1/2 SF 3 1/2

Monkey Man vs. Sister Morphine - that reminds me, gonna need my monkey wrench. Monkey Man // LiB 4 1/2 SF 3 1/2

You Can't Always Get What You Want vs. Moonlight Mile - if i could truly get what i wanted then the wife would be calling the damn plumber. MM // LiB 4 1/2 SF 4 1/2

Honky Tonk Women vs Dead Flowers. if i find dead flowers in the disposal, i'm killing her! HTW // LiB 5 1/2 SF 4 1/2

Let it Bleed wins, so I gotta replace the damn garbage disposal without trying to fix it first. This thread may have just cost me $200!!!!

I'd rather compare albums by giving individual points to songs (0-3 points)

1. Gimme Shelter = 3
2. Love In Vain = 1
3. Country Honk = 0
4. Live With Me = 3
5. Let It Bleed = 1
6. Midnight Rambler = 2
7. You Got The Silver = 1
8. Monkey Man = 3
9. YCAGWYW = 1

15 points = 1.67 points per song

1. Brown Sugar = 3
2. Sway = 3
3. Wild Horses = 2
4. Can't You Hear Me Knocking = 3
5. You Gotta Move = 1
6. Bitch = 3
7. I Got The Blues = 3
8. Sister Morphine = 3
9. Dead Flowers = 2
10.Moonlight Mile = 3

26 points = 2.6 points per song

WINNER = STICKY FINGERS

On the other hand...may have saved your sticky fingers from being ground in the disposal.

Your glass is half full!
