Oh - and also the 1969 version of Satisfaction at Madison Square Garden that I hadn't heard previously - an amazing display of the band's ability to recreate a song on stage - particularly like the screaming guitars at about 1:04 into the song - looked like even Jagger was taken by surprise!

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......

Agonizingly difficult. It's hard to keep war horses out, unfortunately. If voting today:

1) Start Me Up (studio only)
2) Tumbling Dice (studio)
3) Brown Sugar
4) Gimmie Shelter (studio only)
5) Under My Thumb (live version from Pheonix '81 in the Let's Spend the Night Together film, not the Still Life version, from Hampton, which lacks all energy!)
6) Rocks Off
7) Shattered
8) Let It Bleed (for the drums and guitars)
9) Worried About You
10) Let It Loose

Glad to see people liking other faves like Tie You Up, Down the Road Apiece, She Was Hot, Sittin' on a Fence

is this a competition of who has the most unlikely and obscure top ten song or songs within his top ten list???

does that make one a bigger and more serious stones fan?

.......it is very tempting to psycho analyze that last post.....but I digress..the simple answer is...the list is arbitrary

Hm. Quite tough. Or? Well. Then maybe something like:

"Let it Bleed", "Dead Flowers", "Casino Boogie", "Let it Loose", "Shine a Light" (probably number one!), "Winter", "Through the Lonely Nights", "Respectable", "Down in the Hole" and "Waiting on a Friend".



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2010-03-08 08:15 by Turdontherun.

OK then. On todays list:

You got the silver
Like a thief in the night
Connection
She smiled sweetly
Have you seen your mother baby standing in the shadow
Who's driving your plane
Let it bleet
Parachute woman
Play with fire
Sister Morphine

In that order!
