[QUOTE=5 time champ] You all know who the Glimmer Twins are, don’t you? So it is Brian vs Keith. Sympathy for the Devil vs Gimme Shelter I have the feeling it’s gonna be a blowout. [/QUOTE] Two very worthy contenders. I have to go with: Sympathy for the Devil I’d have gone with Gimme Shelter against any other song, though. ---

Gimme Shelter - I’ve heard the song a thousand times and Merry Clayton shouting, “RAPE - MURDER!!!” still gives me chills. ---

Gimme Shelter If you asked me tomorrow and I might have gone the other way. Though Rocks Off is actually the best song The Stones wrote. (was it even in the competition?) ---

[QUOTE=NAF1138] Though Rocks Off is actually the best song The Stones wrote. (was it even in the competition?) [/QUOTE] It got creamed by “Shattered” in the second round. The consolation is that whatever wins in this competition it’s going to be an awesome song. Even though it _should_ have been “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking.” 😛 ---

First quarter score, Sympathy jumps out to an early lead over the purists’ favorite. 16 Sympathy for the Devil 13 Gimme Shelter BTW, the Glimmer Twins was the title Keith & Mick used as producer of albums. I hope the title didn’t throw anyone off. ---

[/QUOTE] Tony Carr’s book on the Stones has this fantastic deep blue picture of Keef, seemingly illuminated only by his amp light and the glow from his cigarette, with the caption “Keith glimmers in the gloom.” ---
