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

[stevie1957]

I see Undercover of the night is missing from the list..a very under rated track

 

Out of time is on twice.

[Ceiling Fan]

I've gone for 2,000 Man. Think that period of 1966 - 1967 stones is vastly underrated. The albums "Aftermath", "Between The Buttons" and "Their Satanic Majesties Request" are not what most people would define as "classic" stones but some great tracks buried in those 3 albums. Also their single "We Love You" (with "Dandelion") on the flip side is probably their most underrated single.

Paint it black and the only version of out of time worth listening to is by Chris Farlowe who it was written for

 

The Stones versions and Chris Farlowe's version are equally worth listening to.

Its time that they were put back in the formaldehyde!

gimmie shelter, keith at his best with that opening riff

 

plus "you got me rocking "...the lads never been the same since he discovered that open g tuning""

 

[Jim Hardie]

Either Come On or It's All Over Now

 

Well, the first one is a Chuck Berry song and the second one was stolen.

[JFKvsNixon]

Sympathy for the Devil was always my favorite Stones song, but as I got older I found that Gimmie Shelter has also grown on me to the extent that I can't choose between them. I also really like Bitch from Sticky Fingers.

brilliant version by the staple singers ,

 

but I don't think you can say stolen, first its a traditional" song, which has been around so long that no one knows who wrote it plus the copyright has expired.
