Just for conversations sake.

Since the stones music has been packaged, repackaged, over and over w/ bascically the same series of songs since I'd say 71' w/ hot rocks ( a monster selling album ) .. if YOU could make a "greatest" hit's album without any song that has ever been on any colection of hits or compilation and not a bootleg what would they be?

I'd have to vote for

Sway
Coming Down Again
All The Way Down
Heaven
Till The Next Goodbye
Sleep Tonight
Theif In The Night
Moonlight Mile
Cant You Hear Me Knockin'


Those are just a few that pop in my mind pardon if one or 2 of these popped up elsewhere. but as far as I can remember off the top of my head.. these haven't appeared on a greastest hits.

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Those are all gems... I'd add:

Luxury
Monkey Man
100 Years Ago
Fingerprint File
The Worst
Baby Break It Down
All The Way Down

Hand Of Fate
All Down The Line
Citadel
Connection
Monkey Man
Shattered
Feel On
The Worst
Down In The Hole
Heaven
Continental Drift
Time Waits For No One (not sure if this was on Made In The Shade)
Down Home Girl
That's How Strong My Love Is
The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man
Moonlight Mile
You Got The Silver

Winter.

Although tracks like CYHMK and Moonlight Mile prove that "Greatest Hits" and "The Best Of" are not always the same thing, you couldn't have a "The Very Best Of The Rolling Stones" album without including many of the hit singles.

Not to hijack this thread, but Bowie did something similar a few years ago with 'David Bowie: The Collection'.
