Favorite Stones song?

Cafe Society
1

As a parallel to the current fave Beatles song thread…

I’ll start with She Smiled Sweetly, from Between the Buttons.

2

I always liked the one that says if you can’t get what you want you get rice and beans.

3

Tough call, but I’m going to go with Can’t you hear me knocking?

Just squeaks by Rocks Off.

4

I’ll go with If You Can’t Rock Me/Get Off Of My Cloud from Love You Live.

5

sympathy with the devil

6

Satisfaction, with Gimme Shelter a close second.

7

I guess for me it is “Sympathy for the Devil”. All my favorite Stones songs are from 1973 or before.

8

Gimme Shelter, hands-down.

9

yes, Gimme Shelter

10

Gimme Shelter, no question. I’d argue it’s the best rock song by any band, ever! :slight_smile:

11

These two have been tied for my first-place favorite since around 1980:

It’s All Over Now and Beast Of Burden

12

Either Angie or* Ruby Tuesday*…

13

Ruby Tuesday
Paint it Black
Moonlight Mile

14

Memory Motel

15

“Dead Flowers” and “Before They Make Me Run.”

16

She’s a Rainbow.

17

Another vote for Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’.

Honorable mention for Torn and Frayed.

18

Here’s one you don’t hear too often - Jump On Top Of Me Baby.

19

According to the world-famous Ponch8 Music Rating System, it is a very tight contest between #1 “She’s a Rainbow,” #2 “Paint It Black,” and #3 “Gimme Shelter.”
