The Greatest Rolling Stones Song ever is

[DRAG69]

Maybe I am just too old but I always really liked "Lets Spend The Night Together".

 

[Do I Make You Horny?]

Sympathy for the Devil

or

Can't You Hear Me Knocking

 

[WorsterMan]

Hard to pick only one, but here are my top 5 in order:

1. Satisfaction
2. Paint it Black
3. Jumpin' Jack Flash
4. *****
5. Tumblin' Dice

 

[GhostOfTomJoad]

There's a quote out there by Keef himself when asked what one Stones song would he play before being lead to the firing squad. His answer was 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'. Works for me.

 

[Rip76]

Live - Midnight Rambler

These are in no order

2000 Light Years From Home
Under My Thumb
Let It Bleed
Tumbling Dice
Loving Cup
Happy
When the Whip Comes Down
Fool to Cry

The beginning intro to "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is great.

I would have to say my favorite is, "Monkey Man."

[MaceHorn]

Satisfaction
Honky Tonk Women
Brown Sugar

 

[Murphy'sBoy]

My 2 cents:

Jumpin Jack Flash
Satisfaction
Start Me Up
It's Only Rock and Roll
Time is On My Side

 

[BigWill]

yeah...a lot of guys DO hate their most popular songs.

But, it has always seemed to me that Keith really, really loves being in the Rolling Stones, and appreciates his own place in history.

 

[Alex_de_Large]

Good call Rip, I'm a monkey!

 

[Rip76]

Alex, i love the drums right after that part...
I think that part of "Monkey Man" was in Goodfellas, when he's running from the helicopter.

Thinking back on "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'"

That could be the best beginning of a song, ever.
I always though the rest of the song was crap. But, what the hell else could they do in that song to even compete with the beginning?

{Ducking] I also think "Exile on Mainstreet," is overrated. [ducking]

Another from 'Its Only Rock n Roll'

- "Fingerprint File" ... vaguely (I guess) from the basic R&B roots. Course you had to be driving I45 to Hou., alone, at 2 am to appreciate it maybe.

 

[TheFied]

You Can't Always Get What You Want
Dead Flowers

Ironically both songs I have heard Charlie Robison do live. But I liked these songs before I heard him do them......

 

[Ignatius]

A little more obscure...

The Spider And The Fly
Hand Of Fate
100 Years Ago
Gotta Get Away
The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man
Jigsaw Puzzle
Before They Make Me Run

 

[Waller Creek]

1 *****
Tied for 2nd:
Can't you hear me knocking
Sympathy for the Devil
Paint It, Black
You got to move

I could go on...

 

[UT1986]

So many good ones, but anything off Let it Bleed or Beggars Banquet

Monkey Man
Gimme Shelter
Street Fighting Man
Sympathy for the Devil

If you've got 2 guitars, one should always be tuned in Open "G"

 

[Hornin Hong Kong]

have NONE of you heard Far Away Eyes?

 

[jrotten]

No love for SHATTERED???

"Life's just a cocktail party................"

 

[Extreme Fajitas]

not their greatest, but I always enjoyed "waitin' on a friend"
