Rolling Stones Madness: Glimmer Twins

The Game Room
21

Gimme Shelter

22

Sympathy for the Devil

23

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.

24

Gimme Shelter.

25

If you mean in favor of Sympathy For The Devil, then yes I agree :).

26

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

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?)

Gimme Shelter

31

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.” :stuck_out_tongue:

32

Right, I forgot about shattered. I am surprised it has so many fans.

33

Gimme Shelter

34

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.

Gimme Gimme Shelter.

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.”

Gimme Shelter. By a nose.
