Are you doubting that there’s a [Brian](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Jones), or do you think he needs to be sharing the bracket with Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood?

[/QUOTE]

Wow, Bill Wyman _really_ gets no respect. Hey, he was only in the band for 31 years.

But, yeah, why not Ronnie? I guess because Brian is ultimately more important in the Stones universe than Bill, Mick T., and Ronnie put together. Still, I think that if you’ve got to shave the Stones down to a foursome, to me it would make more sense to use the four guys who currently appear on their CD covers and promo photos.

Well, I thought I blew the buzzer right after The Daily Show last night. Anyway, time’s up, thanks for playing I will get the scores up as soon as I can, so we can start the next round.

[/QUOTE]

Seconded! This is obviously a labor of love by a diehard Stones fan.

Hardest choices for me in the first round were:

Jumpin’ Jack Flash vs Moonlight Mile: “MM” is one of my favorite songs - if it were up against anything other than “JJF” I’d vote for it in a heartbeart!

Sister Morphine vs Live With Me: Ry Cooder’s snaky bottleneck vs. “My best friend he shoots water rats and feeds them to his geese!” Tough, tough choice! I think it’s Keith’s bass on that song that tilts the balance.

Dead Flowers vs Mother’s Little Helper: “I’ll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon” vs “Doctor pleeeeeze - some more of theeeeeze!”

Time Is on My Side vs Play With Fire: I had this as a 45 when I was in high school. “Time” was the A side; “Fire” was the B side. I never knew which was my favorite then, and I still don’t! Coin toss!

Obligatory song that I was sorry didn’t make the field: “Stray Cat Blues”

Thanks **5 time champ**! This is going to be fun!

I had to vote for MM regardless, because it’s that much one of my favorite songs.

And “thirded” on the thanks – I’m agog to see the results of round 1!

No surprises here, thought Star Star [or as the song is known more colloquially Starfucker] would have done a little better.
