Most Stones tunes make us bounce and sing along, but do they bring back any particular memories or associations??  One person names a song then the next tells what it reminds us of, and names another song.  I'll start
Brown Sugar: scene of Keith dancing around the room while playing an earlier version of the tune from the movie "Gimme Shelter"

Coming Down Again

makes me think of my grandma. Jigsaw puzzles is her biggest hobby and she spends hours working on them. She has several glued and framed in her apartment.

Waiting on a friend

great thread by the way.

Summer of 1976, had a convertible '72 Mustang at my disposal, would
toot 'round town with a trunk full of Miller "smalls" along with this song
blazing from the 8 track playa....Beach scenes with bonfires....I'm flashbacking
now......great thread....

Live With Me

Gazza, you forgot a new tune?

Game took a left turn with Gazza, does he think he gets a free pass or something?

I love this thread and will throw out a new one.

The last time I had a good cry was after midnight and I couldn't make it to the beer store.
:youmademecrylikeababy

I don't know about anyone else but I always associated the Stones with "sex n drugs and rock n roll"

WAIT A MINUTE.

My first record player....UAWCPM. I ruined the LP by playing that song over and over again too many times.

Which one?

'Oh, No Not You Again' ? Its certainly not 'Dangerous Beauty'.... 

I love this thread.

Getting it back on track.

Gimme Shelter..opening chords have haunted me since the first time I heard the song and continue to put me in a trance to this day. First stadium show ...1975....sitting way up high....GS is played and like lemmings to the sea three 15 year olds drag their adult chaperones to the floor and end up fighting our way to the front of the stage. Remained there until the end when we were doused with water by Mick. Drenched. My Baptism by Jagger. Got home took off the clothes put them away never to be worn again. Still have em.

Next up.....Under My Thumb

LJ.

under my thumb, I fell in love when that the first time I heard it on the radio in 1980 or atleast remember hearing it.

next tune- Where The Boys All Go!

This song reminds me of recording songs off the radio. I would make piles of tapes, desperately trying to obtain music, since i couldn't afford to buy all i wanted. i also just wanted to hear stuff, to know wat i might want and not want. This song was part of a 3 song block I recorded on WMMR 93.3 in Philly. I soon would own the ER album. I loved this tune. In 1980 I was still so oyung, and trying to figure out The Stones, I actually thought this song was from the infamous SNL performance. I pictured Jane Curting, Gilda Radner and Lorrsine Newman singing the back up. I love, love, love this song. It's got energy and balls and it's just a fun song about partying and getting laid.

Next Up, Let It Bleed.

Pdog wrote on May 11^th, 2008 at 11:04am:

Let it Bleed- damn I was young, me and my boys in the neighborhood found a way to get a big canister of nitrous oxide and we all would gather at a buddys apart ment and partake, drink and such and play lots of music that album and that song were a big part of the festivities.

Pdog- welcome to the He Man Emotional Rescue Lovers Society!

next up Before They Make Me Run-

Moonlight Mile..one of my favorites

Always associated with longing..

for whatever I was without at the time....


Next up

Play With Fire

Play With Fire.....Discovering Hot Rocks and the melodic, hynpotic side to the some of the Stones early songs. Realizing the band that grabbed my crotch with Silver Train and Star Star could also make me swoon with haunting lyrics. 

Next up..Shine A Light.

LJ.

I know many here werent around for the early days but so many of the 60's tunes just hold up so well in my mind....Next up..

Its Not Easy....(do yourself a favor and play it loud and proud)

This is a GREAT thread Throwaway!!!!!!!

Bumping this up.

Next up..Star Star

LJ.

Pdog wrote on May 12^th, 2008 at 6:33pm:

Well then..you handle Star Star, P!!

I am a "nice" girl and I never heard the starf*****. starf***** version until my ears got older..

I am waiting for a different song..

PartyDoll MEG wrote on May 12^th, 2008 at 7:01pm:


OH please....I'll take it.
GHS was my first Stones album. I was a very naive 13 and Star Star evoked what would later become known as the BLANK FRIGGIN STARE. But it grew on my and made me giggle as only young teenage girls coming to terms with their sexuality can giggle. They did it live at my first Stones show in 75 and it's been one of my favs ever since.

Naughty song, by a very naughty Band. And I liked it.

Next up....Street Fighting Man.

LJ.

Great minds love Star Star, LJ!

Or should I say Dirty Minds?

Damn..which one SFM or ATGB????

I'll take; As tears Go By

Of course one of the first Stones songs I remember learning all the words to..

Ya know we young teens loved to slow dance..
Or was that a make out song
I can't remember

Tell Me- I always thought it sounded so proper- I remember recording it off the radio to play around the pool 1980 or so.

Next up  Down In The Hole-

Shit "Down in Hole" really made me remember great things in my life... too late

Crackin' Up  and the whole Side 3 of Love You Live made me remember a very special time of my life, I was in college, probably some the best days of my life.... I don't know why but during those days everytime I played side 3 it was something in the air   and of course crackin' up  with it



Next Rocks Off!

¿¿¿¿¿Next????? 

I got Beggar's Banquet when I was a junior in high school, on tape, from a Record Bar in St. Louis (I actually think it was Chesterfield, but, same thing).  It was my fourth full length Stones album, after 1) Dirty Work 2) Aftermath and 3) Some Girls.  I also had Hot Rocks at the time.   I knew the Stones were some kind of big fucking deal to me, but it was really Beggar's that sealed the deal and I kind of knew it from first listen.

I put it in my walkman-like knockoff device whilst sitting in the backseat on the way to the Cardinals game I was attending with my folks.  I already knew Sympathy, so No Expectations was where that album truly began for me.  I can still remember the first time I ever heard it, leaning against the passenger side back seat door, looking out over 40/61 going by, while that slide guitar slipped through my head.  I felt like I was entering another world entirely. 

Next up:

Saint of Me

First time I heard SOM was when 96 Rock was playing every song of the album. I was at a car wash and thought it was a very cool song!

next up- Harlem Shuffle

Oh, I just have to take this one.. hope I am not barging in...

IORR.. the very first time i saw the Stones.. it was on late night TV.. I remember it perfectly.. I was a little kid, sneaking out of bed to catch my older siblings watching tv ... anyway,  I remember Keith scaring the crap outta me and thinking he was the coolest person I have ever seen all at the same time, not to mention Mick and his instant charisma that shot out of the tv and got me ...*sigh* those sailor suits, IORR always holds a special place for me... :)

and another thing it reminds me of.... just for LJ...

monkey man

the garden. jan 18 2003. hbo show. that song kicked ass.  

C'mon people... You go with the song that the person picks before you, and don't forget to pick a song after you post, and stop with the random interuptions of a song you just decide to write about.

Can I do CYHMK instead? We can get back to Crazy Mama.

When I lived in Africa, I walked my dog every evening while my wife rode her horse.  I'd hit off my little dugout as we walked (law? what law?) and I'd stop at a "buvette,"  a little divey watering hole with broken plastic furniture outside on the red clay.  I'd sit with the dog at my feet and have a beer watching the ladies come back from the river with laundry on their heads.  I made friends with the proprietor and one day gave him Sticky Fingers as a present.  He would play it all the time, but one of his speakers was blown, so CYHMK would play without Keith's part at all!  But let me tell you, despite those being some of Keith's greatest licks ever, Taylor's part carried the song nearly as well.  I suspect Sticky Fingers is still blasting out of that one speaker today.  They didn't exactly have a large collection.

what is the next song??

I think of this animation EVERY time I hear that song, now.. what a great animation.. Ronnie cracks me up!!!!

next song..... Some Girls

Time waits for no one- wow what an awesomw tune. way back in the late 70's I got a five finger discount from Treasure Island on highway 41 on an IORR cassette and I walked all over my neighborhood in the summer of 79 with my little boom box blasting! I heard TWFNO by the pool one late night with a great buzz and it took my heart away.

next up- She's So Cold-

jaggergirl wrote on May 15^th, 2008 at 7:28pm:




That is SO clever! I laughed and laughed.....thanks!

She's So Cold

My best friend in high school was trying to get with this girl who he considered to be an ice queen.  It had been the source of much discussion and frustration on his part.  This song was mentioned as being "about her" more than once.   We were wasting time driving around my hometown one Friday night listening to some Stones tape I'd made and we picked her and a friend of hers up at the local Shell, a pretty usual stop-and-switch-cars spot in our pop 1001 town.  We drove around for a while drinking Michelob, but it was getting pretty nowhere for either of us.

This song came on the tape he had and we started singing it loud and laughing our guts out.  There was no doubt to whom the laughter and silliness was directed.  Boy were they PISSED.   They got out at the Shell after the next loop.  We didn't get any action that night but that sure was funny.  

Next Up:  Midnight Rambler

Wills? LOL! Wow it's a small world. I went to Wheeler, and then I graduated from Kenwood. Or as we used to call it Kenweed. I actually bought Sucking In The Seventies at that Treasure Island. I lived within a stone's throw from that store.


Riffy

Cool tune, I recently discovered the lyrics were different from what I thought

No good, can't speak, wound up, no sleep.
Sky diver insider her, skip rope, stunt flyer.
Wounded lover, got no time on hand.
One last cycle, thrill freak Uncle Sam.
Pause for bus'ness, hope you'll understand.
Judge and jury walk out hand in hand.
Dietrich movies, close up boogies,
Kissing cunt in Cannes.

Grotesque music, million dollar sad.
Got no tactics, got no time on hand.
Left shoe shuffle, right shoe muffle,
Sinking in the sand.
Fade out freedom, steaming heat on,
Watch that hat in black.
Finger twitching, got no time on hand.

Next up- Ain't no use in crying.
