[Cruyff14]

Tour has been announced.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Not so much a tour as a 4-gig run to promote the new greatest hits set/cash in on the 50th hype. Two in London and two in NYC (well, NJ really). Ticket pre-sales for London have begun and prices are outrageous in the Stones fashion

Mick hinted heavily in a radio interview that there will be a proper tour beginning early next year.

 

[The_Eagles]

1. Start Me Up - Can't go past the duelling guitars, the energy and the crescendo feel of the song. Nice early 80s production too.

2. Brown Sugar - Love all the things going on at once, classic sloppy-yet-in-the-pocket Stones. The outro is pure swing.

3. Honky Tonk Women - Love the bluesy, boozey feel. Plebs don't realise this went to Number 1...


Famous songs I don't particularly like -

Paint it Black, Sympathy for the Devil

• Sympathy For The Devil

4 years ago I had Under My Thumb and Sympathy for the Devil.
Rereading through the thread, I missed out on something I used to love listening to years ago, especially poignant after I broke up with an ex, it was the first song on the radio as I drove off from her house, As Tears Go By.

 

[Shane Hird]

'Happy' is another one I love dearly.


Great riff with the Charlie beat in full swing powering along.

Exile. What an album.

 

[Shane Hird]

Exile. What an album.

Been listening to it a fair bit the last few weekends after years of not playing it at all.

I think in the 90s in my 20s I completely overdosed on stones songs and my brain subconsciously switch off with the need to hear those classic albums.


Excile has so many great tracks it's unbelievable really. No other band in history playing rhythm and blues can match that lineup of catchy songs..except maybe a black crowes album.

They are the masters.

 

[PP34]

Toss up between Gimme Shelter, You Can't Always Get What You Want and Sympathy For The Devil.

 

[Zuma]

Sway

 

[Gough]

Some Girls never gets enough love as an album. Imo the last great Stones LP.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Shattered is underrated

 

[footyman13]

Its Only Rock n Roll, but I like it, like it, yes I do.

 

[wally funk]

Four years ago, I cited these:
Angie
She's a Rainbow
Paint It Black
Let's Spend the Night Together
Dead Flowers
Let It Bleed (the entire album)
Get Off of My Cloud

I'd like to add:
Lady Jane
Take It or Leave It
Mother's Little Helper

 

[Cruyff14]

Don't Stop would be up there for me.

 

[IKE TURNER]

cant believe 'miss you' doesn't get a mention

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

cant believe 'miss you' doesn't get a mention

You must have missed them

I'm in my mid 30's, and I'm a massive metal/rock head, but to this day, The Rolling Stones are by far my favourite band and allways will be.

My list will be a lot different to most here, as the early to mid 60's are by far my favourite era of the Stones, especially because I grew up listening to all my fathers blues records.

Here is my top 25(haha), I tried to do a top 10, but felt it was impossible as I love too many songs from the early days.

1. Ruby Tuesday
2. Paint It Black
3. As Tears Go By
4. Play With Fire
5. Not Fade Away
6. The Singer Not The Song
7. I am Waiting
8. Tell Me
9. Heart Of Stone
10. I Just Want To Make Love To You
11. Satisfaction
12. Jumpin' Jack Flash
-------------------------------------------
13. Gimme Shelter
14. Wild Horses
15. Brown Sugar
16. Miss You
17. Angie
18. Emotional Rescue
19. Start Me Up
-------------------------------------------
20. You Got Me Rocking
21. Already Over Me
22. Streets of Love
23. Anybody Seen My Baby
24. Gunface
25. Back Of My Hand

 

[Shane Hird]

Its Only Rock n Roll, but I like it, like it, yes I do.

2. Little T&A
3. Shine a light
4. Happy
5. Its only rock n roll

Midnight rambler is hard to beat, especially live. At Rod Laver in 2003 I was front row of the little stage in the middle of the arena when they played this classic. After decades of worshipping the GYYYO version it was a spiritual experience.
