i think u mean innaresting

it feel like Young has recorded a series of "When The Whip Comes Down"s for the last thirty years while the Stones only a handful.

not even sure what that means. but OK!

i have 4 good albums by the stones, and 4 good albums by neil.

argghhh.

i wonder who has more good albums?

not even sure what that means. but OK!

hard, tense, bad taste rockers

ah.
anyway, i'm voting chuck berry

or maybe stevie nicks

we have to see who's got what here and what's missing. Does Neil Young have a Paint It, Black?

good-to-great-to-unbelievably-awesome Neil albums:
s/t
Everybody Knows this is Nowhere
After the Gold Rush
Harvest
Time Fades Away
On the Beach
Tonight's the Night
Zuma
American Stars n Bars
Trans
Freedom
Ragged Glory
Unplugged

plus a variety of stray tracks strewn across Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, Stills-Young, and other solo albums

good-to-great-to-unbelievably-awesome Stones albums:
Flowers
Beggars Banquet
Let it Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Exile on Main Street
Some Girls

plus a TON of great singles

... kinda gotta give it Neil here

Did the Stones have a Trans?

not really...? I guess Emotional Rescue comes closest?

No.

Keith probably hates synthesizers or something

gotta give it to neil on albums, but for individual songs i think the stones has more undeniable works of genius.

saying this is as a huuuuuuuuuge neil young fan, but i don't think i like anything of his as much as "paint it black", "street fighting man", jumpin' jack flash", etc.

ER is Some Girls: The Sequel plus one disco-"influenced" track, hence awesome.

Martin Scorcese vs. Jim JArmusch

btw Shakey I can't believe you omitted most of the sixties albums.

I'd add:

Out of Our Heads
Aftermath
Between The Buttons

from another angle: which is worse? Landing On Water or Dirty Work?

I know Street Fighting Man is supposed to be political and shit, but whenever I hear it, I just think about macho dudes with moustaches roughing each other up in an alley with pipes and chains.

LOW

The Stones' eighties were more consistent than Young's, if consistency is your thing.

consistent for me to poop on

sorry

I can't believe you omitted most of the sixties albums

they were much better at singles than albums for most of the 60s. I find a lot of early Stones stuff fairly laughable tbh - next to their contemporaries (the Who, the Kinks, the Beatles, etc.) it's kind of ridiculous the amount of crap they got away with releasing.

the only stones thing from the 80s I was conscious of at the time:

probably why it took me a long time to get into the stones.

The Srones were more consistent in general i guess, sometimes it was an advantage, sometimes not.

xxpost

stones easy. by an extremely wide margin.

did the Stones ever collab with anyone as awesome as Rick James?

Mick collaborated with the Jacksons!

oh shit, that;s right.

did they ever collab?

I'm sure if thought hard I suppose Tattoo You, Undercover, Dirty Work and Steel Wheels boast more good songs than all of Young's eighties but I don't wanna think about it

*if I

lol

Neil collaborations:
Buffalo Springfield
CSNY
Devo
Crazy Horse
Nils Lofgren
Linda Ronstadt
Pearl Jam
Jack Nitszche
... I'm probably forgetting a few

Rolling Stones collabs:
Dr. John
uh they had the Dust Brothers produce some tracks once?

crazy horse stretching it a little bit as far as collaborations go.

Feel like this is more a poll about how you roll than what you like.

Apart from the fact that the Stones recorded more great songs and great albums than Young, they were also snappier dressers. And did stuff like Performance, One Plus One, R&R Circus, Invocation of my Demon Brother, etc. Jagger even got dumped from Fitzcarraldo which is pretty cool. They helped fund Jodorowski I think right? Or was that just Klein? Sweet logo too.

In Neil Young's favor there's the Lionel train thing.

I mean I like both, but I'm way more likely to throw on a Neil Young record than a Stones record. But that's because I'm more of a lonely-guy-thinking-baout-things type most of the time and I don't get all angsty very much anymore.

Master Musicians of fucking Joujouka

unusual number on their guitars:

5 string tele
vs
3 pickup les paul

film contest would be interesting but I think yr neglecting/underrating Neil's filmed work (particularly Human Highway but also his videos, some of which are hilarious and amazing)

xp

Stones did not bankroll Jodorowsky, that was Lennon and Klein

You're So Vain!

both been covered by devo.

We should do Young vs Dylan after this so I can make it up to Neil for voting for Mick'n'Keith

it's hard to separate some of the stones songs from everything i've ever read about them as ppl

^watts always seemed like a decent guy.lost some respect for richards after the anecdote in his book where he went after a guy with a knife for stealing his chili recipe or something like that.

Wyman's philandering is the stuff of legend.

lol at watts' chili recipe. the end of richards' bio where he starts rattling off his recipes is kind of an amazing surreal thing.

where did i say i was better than anyone?

i'm not better than anyone

lol. I didn't mean to direct my previous comment about being self-righteous at you, but I do think those two quotes (6 minutes apart) are funny in some way.

I'm just saying I would like to see examples or more of an explanation when people call stuff misogynist, or call people "bad" or "assholes."

To me "under my thumb" is about the changing dynamics of a relationship. It could just as well be sung by a lesbian, singing about her lover.
I don't see the hated of women in the song.

i can't believe people are still talking about this when there are so many other things to talk about
neil young's breakfast is more interesting/innaresting than having the same conversation about under my thumb for the 400th time

is there a place you can go where you order "Neil Young Special" and they give you some fried eggs and country ham? there should be.

neil young's breakfast is more interesting/innaresting than having the same conversation about under my thumb for the 400th time

too bad the same can't be said for his music.

damnnnnn

Shit sandwich

"nice zing"

"too bad the same can't be said for stale punchlines"

eh, I thought I put at least a neil young level effort into that

hey at least everyone has stopped opining about misogyny. bring on the bad jokes.

neil young was on fresh air (again) today talking about his new book/record and of course terry gross asked him some stupid questions
my favorite was about how he was advised not to drop acid by his doctor, and she asked him if he followed his doctor's orders
he was like, "uh yeah, i did. i don't need to hallucinate any more than i already do" (i'm paraphrasing here)
then she asked him what he hallucinated about and he said that he freaks out in the grocery store from the overwhelming abundance of things and colors
again, a paraphrase, but he has this really amazing way in interviews of being totally frank and totally oblique at the same time that i think is really amusing when the questions are that dumb

I bet he would have taken the interview more seriously if the interviewer were a man. Pig.

Yeah I guess so. I'd feel differently about this topic if I were a woman.

man they need to get someone other than terry gross to interview him. the last one was kind of terrible too!

terry gross is always terrible

I haven't listened to Terry Gross in a while, but the last interview I heard was with Smokey Robinson. She was dropping her g's in a really annoying way, and Smokey sounded like he was getting a little annoyed with it towards the end (a rare feat; dude is notoriously easygoing).

smokey robinson might be in a bad mood because he frightens children these days, though

didn't Neil deny knowing who the Sex Pistols were in his last interview with TG? she is so bad.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

neil young - george bush
rolling stones - al gore

Love Neil, one of my all-time faves, but voted Stones because Charlie Watts.

thanks for reminding me how awful Al Gore was.

yeah wow that clip is unreal, forgot about that....GWB actually has a pretty awesome moment there when gore steps up beside him and he's like "uh...hey"

just like that moment in this poll when the rolling stones were all up in neil young's face, but neil was like "hey, look out"

Look at that...I called 74-57 for the Rolling Stones, figuring they'd get most of the silent vote. So who would Neil lose to? Beatles and/or Dylan? (This is not meant as a poll suggestion.)

beatles would beat neil

he might beat dylan on ilm

yeah probably would. which is why i'm hoping we don't get that poll.

Neil would not lose to whoever on ilm imo, esp not The Beatles

nah the beatles would bring out the lurkers like a mofo and british ppl

lurkers - maybe. british ppl - they should have been here already with the Stones, so..

neil vs. radiohead amirite

and people who think The Beatles made better music than Neil Young (aka sane people) xpost

did we ever do steely dan vs neil young?

talk talk vs. quicksilver messenger service?

my dad rock can beat up your dad rock

it's grandpa rock now i guess

"people who think The Beatles made better music than Neil Young (aka sane people)"

asking too much for ilm

eh i would vote for neil just because i've spent a lot more time listening to him and it's more personal to me, like tonight's the night means a lot more to me than any beatles record

but the beatles are great i think they are one of the top bands on the scene

i bet 'surfin bird' would beat neil young, also anything else

stones > neil > dylan > beatles, as far as polls go, though obv all deserve to be immortalized in statue form

Only Steely Dan. And maybe Bohannon.

I like the stones and Neil more than Beatles but not sure how I stand re stones vs Neil

I am probably neil beatles stones dylan

I wonder how Neil would fare against Fleetwood Mac
