Best Stones Song Ever

Hey! Hey! You! You! Get offa my cloud!

And Wild Horses. Painted Black.

C’mon, it’s MIss You and you all know it.

Idem, for the three of them ! (or hmm… Paint it black ?)

Plus “As tears go by” (makes me almost cry)

I also like “Under my thumb”, but never paid attention to the lyrics…

Well, probably GImme Shelter but I’m a big fan of “It’s Only Rock & Roll”, too.

There’s such a great rhythm to the lines

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya
Would it slide on by ya

The song sounds improvised on the spot every time I hear it.

Well, my username is my choice. :slight_smile:

Lot of other good stuff though, with runnerups probably being “Brown Sugar” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.

Don’t like my choices: Well, don’t play with me, cause you’re playin’ with fire. :stuck_out_tongue:

How about just “Best Stones Album… Full Stop”? :slight_smile:

For songs, I’d agree with Gimme Shelter and put Miss You beside it.

Paint it, Black.

I’m rather surprised to discover that the earworm, for me, has turned out to be “Get Off of My Cloud.” (“Hey! [hey!] You! [you!] Get offa my cloud!”)

Glad to see some votes for Sway (high fives).

I can’t come up with one. My list, in chronological order:

Have You Seen Your Mother, etc
Midnight Rambler (live)
Gimme Shelter
YCAGWYW
Almost everything on Sticky Fingers, but especially Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’, with Bitch, Sway, Moonlight Mile and I Got the Blues close behind. That album is damnear perfect.
Rip This Joint
Tumbling Dice
It’s Only Rock 'n Roll
Shattered

There’s a deep cut on (I think) Tattoo You called (don’t wanna be yo’) Slave that I really really like.

Gimme Shelter gets my vote. The intro is the best one (I’ve ever heard) on any rock recording.

All my faves have already been mentioned…please don’t hate me 'cuz I like SFTD.

Just for grins, I’ll toss one in: how 'bout “Undercover Of The Night”?

1. Gimme Shelter
2. Waiting on a Friend
3. Paint It, Black
4. Moonlight Mile
5. Satisfaction
(Admit that when you first heard it you thought this was the greatest song ever. Well it’s still great. We’re just all a little burned out on it.)

Oh puh-leeze. Not even in jest.

:smiley:

the last time and sympathy ftd

I’m partial to “Under My Thumb”-expresses my thoughts perfectly…about a bitchy ex-GF! :dubious:
