This is a tough one. Ronnies contributions cannot be easily overlooked...
2000 Man and Citadel are just perfect

POP vs PSYCHEDELIA!
In one corner, we have our one and only smiling sweetly pop inflected BETWEEN THE BUTTONS.
In the other, we have the 3D ventricular behemoth of acid, The Rolling Stones answer to Sgt. Pepper...THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST!
Now, we'll use the US version of the BtB album, which will include two very heavyweight songs, the double sided hit Ruby Tuesday and Let's Spend The Night Together. To counter balance that and because BtB has 11 songs to TSMR 10, we'll give TSMR that other slice of psychedaelia, the single We Love You.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!
I would suggest finding something else to you since very time you are so "off"
LET's SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER vs. SING THIS SONG ALL TOGETHER - Never in the history of ALBUM DEATH MATCH have we scored a 1st round KO...ok not a knock out, a knock down...standing 8 count is applied and TSMR staggers to her majestic feet. LSTNT is perhaps the stones finest pop music cut...Sing This Song Together may just be the worst album opener in their immense catalogue. easy 1-0
YESTERDAY's PAPERS vs. CITADEL - well well well, we have a pretty good matchup here! Anyone got a favourite? Who wants yesterday's papers?! Yesterday's Girl vs. Candy and Taffy! Candy and Taffy and Keith`s riff take it. 1-1
RUBY TUESDAY vs. IN ANOTHER LAND - OK, Bill's one and only writing contribution (at least that was recognized) is cute here. Not a bad song at all. Love the warbled effect on the vocal. How the hell that got to be a single though, I have no idea. I can only imagine both Mick and Keith were lying on the studio floor in a acid induced stupor with Brian, or in jail, when a DECCA exec came in and asked what the follow-up single would be. Bill answered while Charlie smirked from behind the drum kit. Another almost KO for BtB...standing 8 count and RUBY TUESDAY, one of the stones most sublime ballads that can stand toe to toe with any Beatles ballad, takes it, 2-1. It should win just for Brian's recorder.
Connection vs. 2000 Man - oh you're killing me...both amazing toons. Is this Keith's first lead vocal? I think so, and it's amazing...but 2000 Man, while heavily penalized for KISS covering it in 1979, still slaps Keith's cut around enough to take the round and we're all tied up, 2-2. Oh Daddy, proud of your planet!
She Smiled Sweetly vs. Sing This Song Together (See What Happens) - OMG. Smiling vs. Snoring. To answer Mick's question of why don't we sing this song altogether...everyone together...BECAUSE IT'S SO F*CKING STOOPID! 3-2
Cool Calm and Collected vs. She's A Rainbow - we should note that TSMR saved it's lead single in reserve to render a bitch-slapping in round 6...Cool Calm and Collected looks quite nervous, and rightly so as She's a Rainbow comes in colours everywhere, rendering CC&C mostly blood red in the process. we're all tied up again 3-3!
All Sold Out vs. The Lantern - who knew we'd have so many great matchups...this one is very tight...can't quite decide. I think we'll go with All Sold Out as it's always been one of my faves on BtB and MJ's fully committed to that vocal. Love it, 4-3
My Obsession vs. Gomper - you can't be serious. 5-3
Who's Been Sleeping Here vs. 2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME - a throwaway vs. an absolute psychedelic classic...it's so very lonely 5-4.
Wow, what a tight matchup...!
Complicated vs. On With The Show - I've never really liked the idea of the Stones doing an Avril Lavigne cover so I'm going to have to go with the song that sounds like they're in some sort of circus. 5-5! WOW,on with the showto the tie breaker!
Something Happened To Me Yesterday vs. We Love You - Now, to be fair WLY wasn`t on TSMR, but should have been. Given that we included two massive tracks by going with the US version of BtB, I think that more than evened things out. Something Happened To Me Yesterday is a lovely quirky tune...one of my favourite Kinks impersonations. Keith again showing up to add a few lead vocals. But We Love You is dark, dangerous and the antithesis of All You Need Is Love, complete with the slamming of cell doors. Easy choice. 5-6! TSMR pulls from behind!
Psychelia SMASHES Pop in a bloody split decision! Their Satanic Majesties Request, for all it`s flaws, is actually a great album!!

treacle shouldn't your death match give some consideration to the album covers? between the buttons has a much better cover than their satanic majesty's request.
