50 years in the business. What was the Rolling Stones greatest song?

[foxy lady]

I've been watching some of the documentaries about the Rolling Stones. Wild times indeed, and some classic songs.

 

Which is your top Stones track. I will add a poll once I've had a few ideas to make a short list.

 

These are the tracks on the Greatest Hits album. Missing some of my favourite ones.

 

1. Satisfaction

2. The last time

3. Paint it black

4. Emotional rescue

5. As tears go by

6. Out of time

7. Angie

8. 19th nervous breakdown

9. Lady Jane

10. Fool to cry

Lets Spend the Night Together

Jumping Jack Flash

Brown Sugar

You Can't Always Get What You Want.

[Alien52]

One of my favourite lyrics of the past 50 years is:

"When I'm watchin' my TV

and a man comes on to tell me

how white my shirts can be.

Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke

the same cigarrettes as me."

[geared]

Gimmie Shelter is a classic.

[Kid Sampson]

Sympathy for the Devil Springs to mind

One of my favourite lyrics of the past 50 years is:

"When I'm watchin' my TV

and a man comes on to tell me

how white my shirts can be.

Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke

the same cigarrettes as me."

 

Well that's Satisfaction.

 

Keep 'em coming guys. I'll add a poll once I've got a few more favourites.

Gimme Shelter, for me. It rarely moves out of one chord and it doesn't matter one tiny little bit.

 

Tumbling Dice and Sweet Virginia deserve a mention - Exile on Main St would be poorer without them.

[Vague_Boy]

I thought they always just sang 3 songs.

 

Satisfaction

Get off of my cloud

 

And then something where Mick just caterwauled like a tom cat being drowned in the sink.

 

Most of their so-called "songs" (if they can so be called) just sound incredibly similar to me.
