Gimme Shelter vs Helter Skelter

[Texas King]

Helter Skelter!

 

[Needs More Cowbell]

Gimme Shelter

While I luv the Beatles tune, the powerful lyrics reflecting the mood on the streets at that time and the backup vocals of Merry Clayton gives The Stones the deciding factors

LOL : I have to abstain again. Always thought the beatles were way overrated and I simply detest everything the Stones ever did...

I would have voted Gimme Shelter if it was Grand Funks version. Helter Skelter is my choice.

I haven't even heard Helter Skelter that I'm aware of.

So it's Gimme Shelter by default, although it's one of my favourite Stones tracks, so chances are it would win anyway. Never been a Beatles fan.

I once played Gimme Shelter one afternoon for around 4-5 hours continuous every time it finished I replayed it!!.

According to a vote in Classic Rock magazine around 15 years ago Gimme Shelter was voted the No.1 favourite Rolling Stones song by rock fans.
