38 The Rolling Stones – Paint It, Black  +6  (FIXED)

I love Paint It Black, but Satisfaction is the more iconic Stones song.  It's the one they always close the show with, which is why I kept voting it up.  Plus PIB didn't appear to be needing my support.

I love Paint It Black too, however I must point out you can only give it 4 points in one go.

Not a Stones fan but when we came into these polls Paint it Black was not a song I was particularly familiar with (I recognised it but would not have been able to tell you the title or who it was by) and it did come across as a more impressive track avoiding that faux blues sound that they tend to inflict on many of their tracks. I thought Jumpin' Jack Flash would be the one to beat but their vote has held up even with the large number of tracks they had in play

Paint it Black is probably the only Stones song that I wouldn't down-vote.  Might be the only song of theirs I fully enjoy.  Though, I will say, the French version (as featured in the movie "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby") is actually much better than the original.  "Satisfaction" is just rubbish.  "Jumpin Jack Flash" is ok but I prefer Motorhead's rendition.

We're doing 70s No.2 hits next right?

[Death Impends 7,963]

It'd be incredibly difficult for me to downvote any of Paint It Black, the Tops, or Marvin had it fallen to the three of them so my work's cut out for me

I hope not. 2000s is my forte when it comes to pop music and it would be a shame to skip it.

Considering I sang that going down a mountain on a school residential one time in Wales (and it was sung down the M4 on the way), it has to be included.

I think there was a vote on this, was there not?
