Jesus. That dirge wouldnt make the top 100

Surpised no one else goes for tumbling dice and wild horses, but interesting stuff.
 
You call the uplifting, plinky-plonkness of She's A Rainbow "a dirge" and yet put the dronefest that is Wild Horses up as an alternative instead?

Behave yourself.

The first time I got my leg over 'Fool To Cry' was playing on the mono in the background. It will be the soundtrack as the curtain opens to the crematorium flames.
 
i might swap under my thumb (just listened again...not so sure now) for torn and frayed. Real roots soul country stuff. Exile is the best album for me. That great loose sound which is the stones at their best

A tough one ..............
Which Rolling Stones song references a famous horserace? :)

(Heard it on the radio this morning which prompts this trivial question; I was aware of the song but hadn't ever really before absorbed the lyrics of same).
 
Are there not two Stones' tracks connected to racing ? Perhaps only one of them relates to an actual race.
 
Yes D.G., an actual particular horserace.
I do think you know it, so spill it out. :p

(I'll leak the song in an hours time 'coz I know how annoying it is when a question is left hanging). :)
 
Excellent ! I'm well-impressed, sir.
You have it first time. :thumbsup:

"When you're sitting back
In your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away" .

Never rated The Rolling Stones as highly as the majority do, though there's several gems amidst the mass of familiar bedrock: Mother's Little Helper, Lady Jane and their take on Little Red Rooster, all from Aftermath if memory serves, would be my favourites

I find them acutely embarrasing nowadays and have done since circa 1972 and their last genuine hurrah, Exile On Main Street
 
Revisiting the great "Beggars Banquet" recently, reminded me of a Stones track forgetfully omitted from my original 10. That was criminal.

"No Expectations". The crushing feeling of sadness and loneliness is overpowering. Brian Jones acoustic slide guitar is reminiscent of Robert Johnson country blues.

The song might not appeal to most -- only those of us who have loved and lost will "get it". :)
