I'd be willing to lay odds the winner will be Winter. I could be wrong. But that's what gets my vote.

Honey, I miss your two tongue kisses.....

Wow,15 votes already. A lot of Goat lovers out there. Star Star and Winter in a dead heat so far. But that's the beauty of GHS. Not too many wrong answers. Except for the one vote for Hide Your Love

A truly great album!
I had to flip a coin
Heads..Winter
Tails...Coming Down Again

Heads it is. My vote is for Winter.

100 YEARS AGO
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
And the world was a carpet laid before me
The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange
It seemed about a hundred years ago

Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate
Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky
What tender days we had no secrets hid away
Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago

Now all my friends is wearing worried smiles
Living out a dream of what they was
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
Can't you see the furs in my forehead?
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away
Now it seems about a hundred years ago

Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine
Don't worry 'bout this man that you love
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn ya
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn ya
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn ya
Please excuse me while I hide away

Call me lazy bones
Ain't got no time to waste away
Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away
Don't you think, don't you think, it's just about time to hide away? Yeah, yeah!

Oh kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me baby, good-bye, yeah
Good-bye, yeah, good-bye, yeah, good-bye, yeah
Come on, kiss me
Yeah, your gonna kiss me baby - bye
I warn ya, I warn ya, I warn ya I warn ya, I warn ya!




This was a tough choice because I love Heartbreaker, Starfvcker, Winter, Dancin with Mr D, Hide Your Love,  Comin Down Again, Silver Train and even Angie!

Still a dead heat between Winter and Star Star. I love Starfucker,but I think it just sounds better live than on the studio version. Although those are classic lyrics. Of course Winter has never been played live.....By the way, no love for Can You Hear The Music? I was listening to that last night and that's what inspired this thread.

You must be kidding.  Overplayed as it is, Stairway to Heaven is one of the greatest rock songs ever.  

Angie is a pretty tune and I value it for having gotten me to second base with a comely bus girl in a darkened parked automobile when I was 16, but the song is a piece of utter fluff shite in comparison.  

Brussels version of Heartbreaker!

Mick Taylor at his absolute best!!!

That's cheating! 

You could say that the Brussels versions of Heartbreaker, Mr. D and Angie ALL eclipse the studio versions.

Virtually the only Stones songs i can't stand are Angie and Fool to Cry.Great album my arse.............................

I voted for Winter.  I just love the song.  Besides, it's a bit appropriate with the Arctic chill coming through the entire country. 

Almost every song on this record is fantastic.  And yes, that does include Hide Your Love.  It is better than Can You Hear The Music.

Star Star, hands down.
Pure Berry knock off done as the Stones.
Could have been played by Brian Jones
Has the swing & boogie which they made famous
You hear it, you think swing, you recall the controversy
which it caused, both which scream Stones more than anything else.
Each lp has one of those numbers which bring attention to the lp, right?
Just played it from a '78 vine (remember those) which
was moved about here a few years back.
Of course, it gets the Wicked Pissah award....

Carry on!

i know that mate.i'm just mentioning the other song i don't like,if you don't mind ?

Nellcote wrote on Jan 15^th, 2009 at 5:42pm:


Right you are Nellie. But I just think Star,Star sounds so much better live than on GHS.


the only bonafide classic on the entire album.
Not a fan of GHS Gazza?

Despite Nellie's love for it Star Star is a slightly above average rocker. This really is an average album. Some Girls was what we waited for.

Winter

Oh what a beauty.
Roll on summer. ahhhhh........x

I'm telling.........

In an album full of crappy lyrics, how can you not be moved by "The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange"?  I can't believe 100YA can't even beat out Starfucker!  That clavinet!  That wah-wah!  It's an outrage!  

I've been drinking!  Sup Motels? 

100 Years Ago...
Taylor is the boss... :smile

"Winter" for me, too; though I can't join the general slagging of "Can You Hear the Music?" due to a unique synchronicity I experienced with that song.  It was late one night in the winter of 73-74 and I was writing a letter (for you youngsters, a letter was like an email but on paper) to a beautiful young woman who had written me after a couple years' absence because I'd appeared in one of her dreams.  As was my habit, I ended the letter with a song quote.  I'd picked the quote--"Can you feel the magick?"--before I started the letter.  As I finished the letter and wrote those words, I could hear the radio playing through a heating vent from the basement room of a housemate who always slept with the radio on.  The song, which was almost never played on the radio even then when the album was current, was (you already guessed) "Can You Hear the Music?"  So the question remains:  Can you feel the magick?

I'll start it up when Exile wraps up.  "Gimme (another) little drink!"  GHS was your first, LJ?  And Some Girls for Gazza?  I feel like an old timer.  I watched the first Ed Sullivan appearance (yes, my mom turned me on to the Stones) and the first album I owned was Let It Bleed.  Happy Friday, everyone!

I occasionally lose my checkbook.  The virginity was given away freely.  But what do you think of my CYHTM story?

LadyJane wrote on Jan 17^th, 2009 at 12:54am:

She was a stone fox as we would say back in the day.  She had that glow like when you're tripping (even when you weren't).

Any woman who isn't generally isn't worth getting to know in that way.....

I'm 44 and played Brown Sugar on a tennis racket at age 8 over and over.  Does that make me an old timer?


Remember vividly the zipper cover and later tacked the sleeve on my wall.  Always wondered why Bill had his finger on his nose.  Keith is smirking like just shoved something up it, but that's not like Bill, is it?

Thanks sioux, now how many old timers there are on this board???? many I should start another thread.

Ha!

I've threatened to do that before---tell people I'm like 75 and they would say "Wow, you really DO look good for your age!"

I may have to try that in the near future...
