October 3, 2024Oct 3 Ok, so I’ve made a massive mistake, I’m just going to post the rest of the rate now haha. Oh! :lol: No worries - these things happen... and these new results are much better! :D
October 3, 2024Oct 3 Author O4irXQhgMqg 1st Paint It Black, 163pts - with Julian T’s missing 25pts added - apologies!!! Top scorers - Severin, Popchartfreak, Dandy, Julian T (25) Peak position #1
October 3, 2024Oct 3 Aww yay the right winner and a really good Top 5. “She’s A Rainbow” in 5th is a great result and that was a wonderful new discovery for me. Thanks for running this Ed!
October 3, 2024Oct 3 Ah, that's more like I expected! 'Gimme Shelter' had my highest remaining score on 21 points, so the top 5 of my votes all missed the top 5, but no huge surprises there - interesting to see the top 4 so close though. Thanks for running this Ed! ^_^
October 3, 2024Oct 3 How wonderful to see She's a Rainbow as high as 5th :heart: It's such a standout track, so wonderfully colourful and eclectic in it's production and a gorgeous piano melody, I know their psychedelic sound didn't really work out overall, but that is a forgotten gem. I can't argue with any of that top 7, in fact they almost exactly resemble my final votes, Paint It, Black was my runner up and has a wonderful ominous sound so a very deserving winner, and Satisfaction and Sympathy... have some iconic riffs. In general, their discography's a bit too samey for my liking, but the highlights are big. Thanks for hosting, Ed!
October 3, 2024Oct 3 Yes thank you for running the rate ^_^ These were my top 10… I was broadly in line with the results really 25 Paint It Black (by FAR my favourite of theirs) 24 Sympathy for the Devil 23 She’s a Rainbow 22 Ruby Tuesday 21 Start Me Up 20 Let’s Spend the Night Together 19 (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction 18 Angie 17 Gimme Shelter 16 Wild Horses
October 3, 2024Oct 3 All is right with the world when Paint It, Black is #1 It's probably my favourite song - certainly in the top 5 My 10 25 Paint It Black 24 Jumpin’ Jack Flash 23 Honky Tonk Women 22 Sympathy for the Devil 21 Gimme Shelter 20 19th Nervous Breakdown 19 Mother's Little Helper 18 Brown Sugar 17 (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction 16 Get Off of My Cloud As you can see, I'm generally not that interested in anything that doesn't feature Brian Jones or Mick Taylor. For me that period from '64 to '73 was exceptional.
October 3, 2024Oct 3 Also, although there's a few already going on in here recently and mainly because I've rekindled my love affair with him would anyone be interested in/not object to me running a Prince singles rate? He always seems to be forgotten yet has a great catalogue of hits to pick from and I'm not convinced there's as clear a winner as some artists.
October 3, 2024Oct 3 I’m not that into him but would like to try and become more so, so I’d definitely participate.
October 4, 2024Oct 4 Thanks for running this, Ed. I only gave nine points to Paint It Black. (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction got 19 points, Sympathy For The Devil 23, Ruby Tuesday 24 and She's A Rainbow 17.
October 4, 2024Oct 4 Author Yeah, definitely up for taking part in a Prince rate. Already know what my wildcard’s going to be :)
October 5, 2024Oct 5 Big fan of Prince, though nothing much cop from when he became The Artist Formerly Known As Talented :teresa: Thanks for sorting all this Ed! Great to see Jumpin' Jack Flash top 10, that video is amazing. She's A Rainbow is fab so heartwarming to see that top 5 despite not being a UK single, and Paint It Black on top is about right, it is their most popular these days. My classic period ended in 1969 and started in 1964 for the Stones, with sporadic goodies beyond that. Sympathy For The Devil worked as a dance remix, and that riff has been borrowed on many a great pop single to boot - Hi Bananarama (& Youth) & Only Your Love, for one. Ruby Tuesday is great too, though Melanie is the version I know better. My list: 25 points: Paint It Black 24 points: (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction 23: Jumpin’ Jack Flash 22: Honky Tonk Women 21: Sympathy for the Devil 20: Ruby Tuesday 19: She’s a Rainbow 18: Miss You 17: 19th Nervous Breakdown 16: The Last Time 15: Start Me Up 14: Undercover of the Night 13: Street Fighting Man 12: We Love You 11: Living in a Ghost Town 10: Out of Time 9: Get Off of My Cloud 8: It’s All Over Now 7: Angie 6: Gimme Shelter 5: Emotional Rescue 4: Brown Sugar 3: It’s Only Rock and Roll (But I Like It) 2: Fool to Cry 1: Tumbling Dice
October 6, 2024Oct 6 OK. Sounds like there's enough potential interest for a Prince rate. I can set it up in the week.
