1. Shattered

No question.

[MrScorpio]

7. Posting it for you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th47siid6_k

[Richardo]

13. Thanks!

I'll watch it when I get home...

[Richardo]

14. Second place for me would probably be 'Street Fighting Man'

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

26. Richardo....

That's your favorite Stones song? Whoa, you're weird.

[Richardo]

27. Weird it up, boyeeeee

(I have no idea what I meant by that)

BUT:
Of all the songs posted here I don't see one I like better. And most of those mentioned have been overplayed to ashes.

[Ahpook]

50. Shattered... coolness

Don't even need shades:)

[Mz Pip]

2. Gimme Shelter

[meegbear]

4. Rolling Stones? The Stone Roses? Queens of the Stone Age?

[MrScorpio]

6. Always the smartass

THE Rolling Stones!

[meegbear]

[MrCoffee]

5. sympathy for the devil

[underpants]

12. IS that the Fatboy Slim remix?

find that one. All the newspaper text is in Latin and there is a great headline "Watchdog groups say 'We warned you'"

[Capn Sunshine]

42. I prefer the Live version from "Ya Yas"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dIgw_H7FZQ

In fact my favorite Stones song is side one of Ya Yas.

best rock n roll EVAH.

8. You're a Fool to Cry

This song hits home... to this day.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df5_F83gB3A

Fool to Cry - Stones

When I come home baby
And Ive been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she say
Daddy whats wrong?
I put my head on her shoulder
She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.

You know, I got a woman
And she lives in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
She says, put your head on my shoulder
tell me all your troubles.
You know what she says? she says
Daddy youre a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.

Daddy youre a fool to cry
Oh, I love you so much baby
Daddy youre a fool to cry
Daddy youre a fool to cry, yeah
She says, daddy youre a fool to cry
Youre a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.

She says, daddy youre a fool to cry
Daddy youre a fool to cry
Daddy youre a fool to cry
Daddy youre a fool to cry

Even my friends say to me sometimes
And make like I dont understand them
You know what they say to me?
know what they say? Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why.

Im a fool baby
Im a fool baby
Im a certified fool, now
I want to tell ya
Gotta tell ya, baby
Im a fool baby
Im a fool baby
Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
Im a fool
Im a fool
Im a fool

Waiting on a call from you

And you know this heart is constant
Im your lover, baby
Thru and thru
Lover, baby, thru and thru

You know that we do take-away
That we deliver, too
Were open 24 hours, baby
Were waiting on a call from you
But any minute, baby, any hour
Im waiting on a call from you
You know that this heart is constant
Im your lover, baby
Thru and thru
Lover, baby, thru and thru
Lover, baby, thru and thru
Lover, baby, thru and thru

11. Gimme Shelter, Paint It Black

[Ishoutandscream2]

15. Anything from Exile on Main Street

Greatest album of all time.

[mac56]

17. It's definitely in the Top Ten.

Side one, all by itself, is stellar.

[Ishoutandscream2]

18. Yes, and I loved side 2, also

The country feel. You could delve into any kind of music on that album.

[BurtWorm]

16. Monkey Man

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7VW03ZBybu4

[Westegg]

19. "I hope we're not too messianic..."

"...or a trifle too satanic." Jagger summing it ALL up with wit in this great, great song. In my top 5 Stones songs, for sure.

[Dulcinea]

23. Monkey Man or Gimme Shelter.

It's a toss-up!

[Westegg]

25. Yo, dude, you stole my logo!

Yeah, "Gimme Shelter" is also in my top 5. Best heard at the end of the Maysles Bros. documentary "Gimme Shelter," over the final footage and the credits. A stark, poignant coda to the '60s, via Altamont. But a haunting song no matter where it's heard.

Oh yeah: Steelers 35, Ravens 14, Monday Night Football.

[Dulcinea]

29. Oh yeah!

Go Steelers!!

(I'm a dudette, BTW.) :hi:

[Westegg]

30. Sorry, Dulcinea!

Of course you're a dudette. My bad. And if you live in the 'burgh, send a shout-out to my home town. Always in my heart.

[Merrick]

20. I Am Waiting

[ghostsofgiants]

59. Definitely.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta4rWAVNnY4 (It's the opening segment to a skateboard video, but whatever, haha.)

[kwassa]

21. my favoritist, a hot performance of "All Down the Line"

1972 with Mick Taylor on incredible lead guitar.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A40few1Se0

[mitchum]

37. I still can't believe that Mick Taylor quit the greatest job in the world...

playing slide guitar for the Rolling Stones
That is a great clip. Thanks.

[Alexander]

46. It's because he wasn't getting credited for anything...

While Keef was too heroined out to write anything, Mick T. contributed a large amount of work to no less than three Stones albums and only got partial credit for one song.

The Glimmer Twins were notorious for stiffing others out of credit for songs (Ron Wood has complained about this in interviews) and I can easily see why Mick would quit over this.

Plus I heard him say once "I quit the band because I wanted to live". He apparently turned from teetotaler to alcoholic throughout the course of his career in the Stones, and wanted to maintain his sobriety.

[mitchum]

54. I've heard him give those reasons, but unfortunately I have also heard his solo records...

artistically, he was good for the Rolling Stones and they were good for him.
He's an exquisite player, but left to his own devices, he is absolutely wretched.
And, of course, with his departure and the introduction of Ronnie Wood, the Rolling Stones began their long adventure into pathetic self-parody

[IndianaJones]

22. Moonlight Mile...Shine a Light. nt.

[redqueen]

24. Doo doo doo doo doo (Heartbreaker!)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=j9RJV6kI1ec


Edit: eye kant speel.

[martymar64]

28. Way too many to pick a favorite (but I'll try)

Shattered
Before they Make me run
Far AWay Eyes
Rip This Joint
Tumbling Dice
As Tears Go By
Not Fade Away
Dance Little Sister
Midnight Rambler
She's So Cold
Bitch
Country Honk


and many many more . . .

[Quantess]

31. The entire Exile On Main Street.

Loving Cup, I think.

It's been a while since I listened to Exile On Main Street, but there are some standouts. Just can't remember which one I liked the best.

[SteppingRazor]

70. Seconded. If I had to pick one from the album, I'd probably go with "Rocks Off"

Because it has my favorite line of any Stones song:
"The sunshine bores the daylights out of me."

But really, that's one of those albums that should be listened to from start to finish. So many good ones -- Sweet Virginia, Torn and Frayed, Tumblin' Dice, etc., etc.

[abq e streeter]

32. Agreed, can't just list one , but..

Moonlight Mile, Gimme Shelter, Beast of Burden are all right at the top...My apologies in advance by the way for the about -to-name-drop, but had the amazing experience of singing Honky Tonk Women, Can't Ya Hear Me Knockin' and a dozen more , with Bobby Keys playing sax with us.

[hellbound-liberal]

33. The Girl With the Faraway Eyes. Thank you,Jesus! Thank you, Lord!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVEdYYMlOJ4

[Tuesday Afternoon]

55. Good One -- lyrics added

I was driving home early sunday morning through bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, you know you always have the
Lord by your side

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you jesus, thank you lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there shed be off
Shed be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes

So if youre down on your luck
And you cant harmonize
Find a girl with far away
And if youre downright disgusted
And life aint worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of jesus
Located somewhere in los angeles, california
And next week theyd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if youre down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if youre downright disgusted
And life aint worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

[mitchum]

34. Cocksucker Blues...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLb5uVPz3HA

actually Brown Sugar is my favorite Rolling Stones song, but I just wanted to tweak the DU semi-taboo staus of "cocksucker"

[ironflange]

35. Ruby Tuesday

http://youtube.com/watch?v=3lrbqinXcHM

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ev4-4sZlD68

Interesting tidbit: This song was a flip side, but when most stations refused to play "Let's Spent the Night Together," they had to play something, so this one became a hit.

[SeattleGirl]

45. That's my favorite, too.

I love the line, "She just can't be chained, to a life where nothing's gained, nothing's lost."

My mom got me that album when I was in grade school or junior high (can't quite remember which), and when I heard that song, I immediately identified with it.

[Alexander]

47. That song was co-written by Brian Jones, but he never got credit.

[QMPMom]

36. Paint It Black.

[regnaD kciN]

38. This may surprise some people...

"Lady Jane"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak1IuZRN9gc

(How can you not love a Stones song with a lead Appalachian dulcimer part? They were so much more interesting when Brian Jones was a member...)

[mitchum]

43. The melody and arrangement of "Lady Jane" are both lovely

I find the lyrics a bit dodgy, though...

[WinkyDink]

39. "Under My Thumb" and "Brown Sugar"

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

40. the spider and the fly

[carly denise pt deux]

41. Jumpin Jack Flash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ8SM24yB4s

[mitchum]

61. And THAT is the single greatest video ever made by anyone...

I have watched it hundreds of times over the years

[Capn Sunshine]

44. Goin' Home

Excellent backseat music! 1966?

[Capn Sunshine]

52. oh yeah...it was 11 1/2 minutes long. Thats why you never heard it on Radio

except the "underground" stations of the 60's.
ON the "Aftermath" album.

[nomorenomore08]

48. "Hey! Hey! You! You! Get off of my cloud!"

Not the greatest sound/performance, but the song rules ass regardless.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l20L9SFqbBw

[ironflange]

49. Oh shit, how could I forget this one?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=M_Oj1Yx80uc

[IntravenousDemilo]

51. Lady Jane. In fact, it might be the only Stones song I really like. n/m

[Mojorabbit]

53. Time is on my side

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_axva_bxUyw
and
As tears go by
http://youtube.com/watch?v=AcA8FmdGiJ0
among many

[Bennyboy]

56. Flip The Switch....

I love the song.

Angie. Sister Morphine. Can't you Hear me Knocking. Waiting on a Friend.

[Capn Sunshine]

57. I never noticed before-Brian Jones is totally WASTED in that vid

I don't think he's even plugged in. Just Kieth, playing solo. Good thing Niki Hopkins (piano) picked up the slack.

Here's a tasty version of that song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-HGBID91iw

[Amerigo Vespucci]

58. Jumpin' Jack Flash

Nothing matches the first time "I was bawwwwwwnnnn...in a cross fa huh cayyyyyyyynnnnn..." came blasting out of my dad's AM car radio.

"Satisfaction" has that riff, but "JJF" was the moment in which the Stones lifted their hind leg and sprayed America, forever marking it as "their territory."



:toast:

[WCGreen]

60. Dead FLowers

[Diamond Dave]

62. Waiting on a Friend n/t

[susanna]

63. Paint It Black or Ruby Tuesday...love them both. n/t

[last_texas_dem]

64. Some of my favorites

Sway
Wild Horses
I Got the Blues
Moonlight Mile
Angie
Coming Down Again
Fool to Cry
Tell Me
Yesterday's Papers
Paint It Black
Play with Fire
No Expectations
Dandelion
As Tears Go By
Mother's Little Helper
I Am Waiting
Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?
Out of Time
Ride on Baby

[Skittles]

65. It's All Over Now

yes INDEED

[enigmatic]

66. "Moonlight Mile"

Though anything from the Mick Jones-era (1969-74)Stones you can throw in here and I wouldn't argue too much. "Moonlight Mile" is just a beautful (and beautifully constructed and played)song, and was a perfect ending to "Sticky Fingers", their best Album:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=NglULzZO9P0

[Bzzzz]

67. Anybody Seen My Baby...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tUtqgZWIAI

[Guava Jelly]

68. Waiting on a friend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdDfVklg7WU

Watching girls go passing by
It aint the latest thing
Im just standing in a doorway
Im just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
Im not waiting on a lady
Im just waiting on a friend

A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
Im not waiting on a lady
Im just waiting on a friend
Im just waiting on a friend

Dont need a whore
I dont need no booze
Dont need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But Im not waiting on a lady
Im just waiting on a friend

[blue neen]

69. Can't You Hear Me Knocking

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBS1VsbGkw0

Although I would sure like to see a video of them playing this song with Mick Taylor. He was exquisite on it.
