- Gimme Shelter: If I had to pick only one Stones track, this would be it. Almost terrifying in its perfection.
- Start Me Up: The one that got me hooked as a kid. Still the most powerful guitar intro ever!
- Jumpin' Jack Flash: Another timeless Stones guitar hook.
- It's Only Rock & Roll (But I Like It): Sleazy and sexy, like the Stones' best tracks.
- Tumbling Dice: I love it because it sounds like it was recorded in a bar with waitresses singing backing vocals. In reality it was recorded in a villa in Cap d'Antibes!!
- Angie: One of the best rock ballads ever recorded.
- Let's Spend the Night Together: Can you believe American TV made them change it to "Let's spend some time together"?
- Honky Tonk Women: Another bar-room classic.
- Sympathy For The Devil: Hearing it live in concert was a mindblowing experience.
- (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction: Overplayed, over-abused... but still great fun.
Runners-Up:

lol bo-jaij,
ReplyDeleteI second Zaydoun, start your own blog already
Zaydoun,
I Object. "Miss you" deserves better than a 'runner-up'.
And where did "Heaven" and "Painted Black" go?
I'm disappointed, but can't wait for more lists like that :)
I'm thinking Queen? or better yet, a Pink Floyd list?
Yalla Purg, talk him into it.
Me convince him? I doubt I could ever do that. Besides, this post was his idea, or generated from comments in the FM post, I only mentioned brown sugar.
ReplyDeleteShurouq... Anything Queen did after "Another One Bites The Dust" is null and void in my books. Never was a Floyd fan (too mellow), but I like a couple songs.. though not to the point of obsession.
ReplyDeletePurg.. that link was indeed very weird
Shurouq.. I could've listed so much more. "Paint it Black", "Street Fightin' Man", "Can't you hear me knockin'", and on and on..etc
ReplyDelete"Paint it Black" ???
ReplyDeleteAnti Reason... what's the matter?

ReplyDeleteZaydoun,
ReplyDeleteI think "PiB" should be on the main list! I couldn?t think of anther haunting track like it. IMHO, its one of the Stones "signature" songs!!
Inspired by your list I decided to choose my top 10 pop tracks of all time, which includes that missed RS track!
Jambino.. and did you know that Angie "supposedly" caught David and Mick in bed together?! Enjoy the SuperBowl
ReplyDeleteAnti-Reason, Shurouq... I confess I forgot "Paint It Black".. I do like it a lot though
OK... now I want to know why a lot of girls love "Wild Horses"!!
ReplyDeleteBtw, The Sundays (remember them?) did a beautiful version of Wild Horses.. It gives me chills!
