No specific order:

Still A Fool
Stop Breaking Down
Hide Your Love

It all depends on what you would consider a blues song. Does it have to have the standard blues progression? When you start including a song like No Expectations you can include just about anything.

by the way, list of Stones recorded songs with the word blues in their names:

Confessin' the Blues
Stray Cat Blues (mrrr)
I Got the Blues
Ventilator Blues
Fancy Man Blues
Andrew's Blues
32-20 Blues
@#$%& Blues
Cook Cook Blues
Exile On Main Street Blues
...Hillside Blues (OK, not exactly, 2nd name)
Summertime Blues

in case anyone wonders.

I think I'm with Simon on this one...I just can't see (hear?) "No Expectations" as a blues...very nice song, though...

ARGGHHHH!! I cant pick just five!! BY the way,have any of you heard Gatemouth Brown's version of "Ventilator Blues" off the "Paint It Blue" album? Man, you REALLY believe him when he says "everybody steppin' on their accelerator"!

Blues numbers...I will also consider country blues, etc....

In no particular order

I'd gladly pay very high ticket prices to see that... just imagine what it would be if they threw in this show a guest star like Buddy Guy @ Beacon... now, that would be a glorious last part of their career!!! And they would have much more fun on stage, too!!!
