Everybody likes top 10 lists so how about one of your top ten Rolling Stones songs. I'm still working on my list (how do you only pick 10!?) but I feel pretty confident in putting Sympathy for the Devil at #1.

1.) Miss You
2.) Tumbling Dice
3.) Start Me Up
4.) Gimme Shelter
5.) Brown Sugar
6.) Sympathy For the Devil
7.) (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
8.) It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)
9.) Jumping Jack Flash
10.) Midnight Rambler
That's super tough after #8 for me... probably 8 or so songs fighting for those 2 spots of 9 and 10. Blows my mind how good they still are live. I'm 30 and I'm pretty sure I'd die if I tried to be as active as Mick Jagger over a 90 minute set.

In no particular order...
Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Beast of Burden
Gimme Shelter
Under My Thumb
Sympathy for the Devil
Get Off of My Cloud
It's Only Rock and Roll
Brown Sugar
Shattered
You Can't Always Get What You Want
I've got my top 5 at the top (which constantly change order, basically the most recent one I've heard is my favorite) and after that it's pretty hard to distinguish between #6 and about #20 or so.

You don't get down with any of that disco goodness, eh Mack? Good list though.
#6

Good idea. I've always been Stones > Beatles.
Mackus pretty much stole my list...but I do like me some "Angie" and "Street Fighting Man", I just don't know what I would replace those with.

Hmmm. Miss you at 1? That's the 1988 Orioles of selections.
I'll have my list later but I'm fairly sure "Angie" will be #1. Maybe my favorite sad song ever.

"Making his own olive brine is peak Mackus."

I realize it isn't their best song. It's my favorite though. Love that groovy goodness. Also, I was 3 in 1988 so I'm sure it sucked, but at that age, I'm sure I very much enjoyed that season. I didn't have to worry about school or work... those were the days.

While I think The Beatles were the "better" band, count me among those who always liked the Stones better. Too many great songs to do just a Top 10, but here's a couple of my favorites I haven't seen mentioned yet.
And something from a more recent era.

Angie is a beautiful song. Just not the type of song I want to listen to all the time. Pedro will love this... but I often times have an informal "best songs" and "favorite songs" list for my favorite bands... and they are usually pretty different.

If you don't have Sympathy for the Devil in your top 3 then you need your head examined.

It's hard to envision a universe where this video was a good idea.
