Push on the repeat button and there is no question.
Best year to close the stones history. Really hope it's over. It's so pathetic.

"Best year to close the stones history. Really hope it's over. It's so pathetic."

Eh???

Slippin Away

FINGERPRINT FILE.

Pecman

I reiterate, Street Fighter from Ya Ya's...and it may be the greatest Stones song EVER....

Sticky may be the weakest album, in my opinion, of the big 5...

1. Beggars'
2. Bleed
3. Ya Ya's
4. Sticky
5. Exile

that's chronological..

Now in order of greatness.

1. YA YA's--by far the GREATEST and perhaps the ONLY EVER TRUE rock'n'roll album ever....AND its (mostly, except VOCAL overdubs) LIVE
2. Exile
3-4. Tie Bleed, Beggars
5. Sticky Fingers...and not that its bad, buy just doesn't stand up to the above

JMHO

Fire away!

Moonlight Mile for sure. It's the ultimate closing track as Rocks Off is the ultimate opener

I don't know you, you don't know me - but if we ever identify each other - one beer on me!

"Good Night...Sleep tight.....Owwww"

Crazy Mama in a close one, though Moonlight Mile is right there too.

Mike

Yes - Moonlight Mile for sure.

Slipping Away - close second for me.

Shattered - 3rd.

We Don't Wanna Go Home

technically, it's not an album closer, but it should have been one.

Shattered

Yeah, Moonlight Mile. Magic!

THIEF IN THE NIGHT

There's always been alot talk about album openers. What about the last tune? My vote goes to MOONLIGHT MILE. It just puts you in a dream state as the album ends.

The Stones have a lot of great closers:

Salt of the Earth, YCAGWYW, Moonlight Mile (the best!), Soul Survivor...

"Sleep Tonight" (Dirty Work - a brilliant closer to a ragged album and a sweet tribute to Stu)

To me the Stones albums had some great closing songs, - but some weak ones too.

BB with Salt of the earth
Let it bleed with YCAGWYW
and Fingers with M. Mile
were all great!

And Fingerprint File wasn't a bad closer!

STREET FIGHTING MAN is my all time fav from ya-ya's----WOW Great ending....From a studio album
it has to be STAR STAR....A hard hitting Berry rocker....I want more...ha..Makes you want to play the album again and again...

moonlight mile (studio)

steet fighting man (live i.e. Ya Ya's or Brussels)

What about "On with the show"?!

I have to go with You can't Always Get What You Want follwed by Moonlight Mile and Fingerprint File is third for me.

Not the greatest they've done, but Infamy does a good job as a closer. Really enjoy this song.

All About You closes ER perfectly.

It has to be Moonlight Mile.

Funny how different those impressions are!

I think Moonlight Mile is a great song but not really an awe-inspiring finale like f.i. Salt of the earth or YCAGWYW!

And tunes like Crazy Mama and Starstar were even weaker album closer to me.
But to each his own of course . .!

Agree with most stuff, particularly YCAGWYW, but Waiting On A Friend makes you wanne listen to the whole thing again, as does Slipping Away. Just to add something(s).
