Are you doubting that there’s a Brian, or do you think he needs to be sharing the bracket with Mick Taylor and Ronnie Wood?

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.

49

Yay! Thanks for doing this, 5 time champ.

50

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!

51

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!

52

4th’ed on the gratitude

53

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

Round 2 will start momentarily.
