This thread may have been done before but here goes anyway.If you could choose one Stones song, and only one, which epitomizes what the Stones sound is all about, what song would this be? This is a song you wish all the Stones resembled. This is not necessarily the most popular song they made, and it need not be a song the Stones wrote. Here is my choice.

WALKING THE DOG

I love the beat, the rhythm, the bass line, the singing, the groove, just everything about it.

Can't You Hear Me Knockin' or I Don't Know Why

The Stones have performed and recorded for more than 40 years, it would be horrible if they had only one song and groove. I am glad that they did such diverse songs like Walking the dog, Monkey man, Moonlightmile, Miss you, Pretty beat up Terrifying and on and on.

Sway.

Power. Majesty. Lyrical depth. Virtuoso guitar. Etheric strings.

Never before or since have so many elements that make a great Stones song come together in one track.

"Through The Lonely Nights" and "Casino Boogie".
"Confessin the Blues".

Amen to that. Wishing all songs from a group to sound like one particular song? Yikes!

Why would anyone want to follow a band whose music all sounded alike?

Hey, some of us followed the Ramones quite blissfully for 22 years! (;-)

That's why I was never a fan of the Grateful Dead.

I have this on my 160 track loop I play at work. I dig the background vocals, 'IF YOU DON' KNOW HOW TO DO IT I SHOW YOU HOW TO WALK DA DOG' because it sounds like they have a stuffed up noses. Honkin Classic. Sounds bad as sh*t too. It's worth a listen if you haven't heard it lately.
