[QUOTE=silenus] There are actually people out there voting for tripe like _Jumping Jack Flash_ over _Gimme Shelter_, which is the **Greatest Stones Song Ever**! [/QUOTE] You’ve convinced me..well, actually, I listened to it again and I’d like to change my vote. Although, I’m not sure I agree with the last part of your comment. Monkey Man and Midnight Rambler are clearly superior, despite what this venerated board thinks. 😛 ETA: Please change my vote to **Keith - Gimme Shelter** , if rules allow. ---

Not sure how others see it, but I have heard songs like Jumpin Jack Flash and Honky Tonk Woman a million times in nearly 40 years. So when either of those songs on the radio, I think to myself "oh boy, 1,000,001 time that I have heard JJF. " OTOH, when I hear Monkey Man, Bitch or especially Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, I think turn it up. Course I have been listening to Satisfaction for quite literally 43 years, but it is a great and groundbreaking song. ---

Jeezus, not that “Gimme Shelter” isn’t awesome, but JJF is one of _thee_ definitive Stones songs. And yet you’re convincing people to change their votes. Who knew it was this easy?

I really like Gimme Shelter and I primarily voted for JJF because well, I like it too, but I’m also distraught IRT my own losses. My vote change is from the heart. Sorry. As a consolation, I’d be happy to write-in vote Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’ if you write-in Monkey Man. 😛 ---

[QUOTE=Brown Eyed Girl] As a consolation, I’d be happy to write-in vote Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’ if you write-in Monkey Man. 😛 [/QUOTE] Deal. “Monkey Man” vs. “She’s a Rainbow” was the only hard choice for me in the first round, but it was _really, really_ hard. Being a major _Satanic Majesties_ freak (as well as a psychedelic relic) I eventually had to go with “Rainbow.” But it hurt. Like being gouged and being gored. ---
