The History Of Jop Part 11 aka Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

1989, the number, another poll - something to do while you count the minutes until POPTIMISM TONIGHT AT THE UNION TAVERN (ahem).

Only EIGHT picks this time because Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" was a duplicate.

I vaguely recollect this being the Stones's comeback, and possibly the first of the "blimey, they still rock up a storm" reactions. Did their existence as a enormous moneymaking touring juggernaut start around this time as well?

(well in the 70s really)

I ticked "One Hit from the Body" for 1986 and "Rockin' in the Free World" and "Janie's Got a Gun" this time, but I'm appalled that "Mixed Emotions" not only made this list but made its top bracket. Unlike "One Hit" it's not intense, not doing anything half-way new, not even a bearably pretty ballad like "Angie" or "Waiting on a Friend" (which are barely bearably pretty). I suppose it'd be comfort factor for people who like Stones-based rock without actually having EVER ADORED THE STONES. In other words, I have no clue what this song is doing on this chart. Ach.

Sympathy votes for Mick and Keef getting back together and doing something that wasn't utter crap.

something about the 'Mixed Emotions' chorus does indicate a strangely pleasant sense of 'togetherness' among the band that may not have been quite as strong before? they sound like a bunch of pissed up pirates having a jokey singalong just like old times....almost...
