[Zorro]

16. One of my favorites, too

Always makes me want to jump around the room. I'm partial to Parachute Woman from Beggar's Banquet also, just because it's great to play along with.

There are too many great Stones tunes to pick any single one out as the best.

[Dulcinea]

39. Great song!

But I voted for "Gimme Shelter"...love that one.

[NC_Nurse]

6. Can't you hear me Knockin'

:headbang:

[angrycarpenter]

8. salt of the earth-beggars banquet

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'

is the greatest rock 'n' roll song EVarrr.

[sarge43]

10. Brown Sugar n/t

[LBJDemocrat]

11. Wild Horses

There's not one song from Sticky Fingers on your poll. What the hell. It's clear that you're a Beatles fan.

[BuddhaGirl]

13. "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"

from Sticky Fingers. Cool instrumentals. :-)

[Danmel]

15. I love "Can't you hear me knocking"

I taught the kids "You can't always get what you want" when they were about 5 - anytime they wanted something I didn't want to ge them, I'd say "What do Mick and Keith say?" and they'd start singing 'You can't always get what you want"- Defused the situation and everyone around us got a kick out of it.



I also really love "Happy" from Exile on Main Street

"I never kept a dollar past sunset, always burned a hole in my pants...."

[swag]

14. "Silver Train"

[Zomby Woof]

18. From your poll..

"Gimme Shelter". The opening riff still sends a chill down my spine.

Others:

"Sweet Virginia"
"Moonlight Mile"
"Stray Cat Blues"
"Paint It Black"
"Prodigal Son"

[Lindsey]

19. Too many to really say but I love "No Expectations" - n/c

[Zomby Woof]

20. Let's just throw in all of 'Beggar's Banquet'

And be done with it. :-)

[mulsh]

21. "The Singer Not The Song"

an obscure ditty from one of their early albums, December's Children. It is a re-working of The Beatles "Not A Second Time" The Stones guitars start out totally out of tune and as the song progresses they get more in tune. very subtle, very snarky, guess they were still pissed about I Wanna Be Your Man.

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. We all need someone we can bleed on.

:thumbsup:

[Lyric]

23. Paint It Black

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

24. "I Am Waiting"

[Bennyboy]

25. Flip The Switch

Country Honk
Waiting for a friend
When the Whip Comes down
Far Away Eyes

[AzDar]

26. " Bitch"...."Yeah, when you call my name, I salivate like Pavlov's dog"..

So cool.

[MrScorpio]

27. No doubt what my choice is

[rucky]

28. 2000 Lightyears From Home

Monkey Man
Street Fighting Man
Gimme Shelter
Sympathy for the Devil

[bridgit]

29. Midnight Rambler (live Get yer Ya-ya's out)...

[Theduckno2]

30. I like them all, but went with "Ruby Tuesday".

Besides being a great song it served as a nice antidote to all the "old people" complaining that they couldn't understand the lyrics or there was too much 'lectric geetar.

[enigmatic]

31. "Moonlight Mile"

Which was infamously covered by The 5th Dimension!

37. Actually, that was an Animals song

:crazy:

[mitchum]

34. "Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields..."

that one

[last_texas_dem]

35. "Coming Down Again", "Sway",

"Tell Me", "Dandelion", "As Tears Go By", "Paint It Black", "Mother's Little Helper", "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby...", "Dead Flowers", "Wild Horses", "No Expectations", "Angie", "Paint It Black', and "Out of Time"; off the top of my head, those are my favorites.

My favorite albums are Flowers, Between the Buttons, Beggar's Banquet, Sticky Fingers, and, even though it's a compilation so including it probably makes it cheating, Through the Past, Darkly.

[Tikki]

41. Yes, "Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow"....

...."Tell me a story about how you adore me
Live in the shadow, see through the shadow,
Live through the shadow, tear at the shadow
Hate in the shadow, and love in your shadowy life...

36. Waiting on a friend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdDfVklg7WU
Waiting on a friend
Love this song!

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

[Va Lefty]

38. "Far Away Eyes"

The Preacher said "You know you always have the Lord by your side"
I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran 20 red lights in his honor.
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord.

[Ishoutandscream2]

40. "Let it Loose" from Exile on Main Street. Gut wrenching vocals

Followed by "Torn and Frayed" which is some fabulous country.

Loved Mick's falsettos also on "Worried" and "Waiting on a Friend." And even on "Emotional Rescue."

[mitchum]

42. I always play "Let It Loose" for those idiots who insist that Mick Jagger...

could never sing.
It is an astounding vocal performance. Beautiful.
