It is a question I have been asked a few times over the years, but I only now feel confident to answer. For me, it has to be Star Star (ok, Starfcuker). It has everything a stones song should have: the Chuck Berry riff, the attitude, some tongue-in-cheek lyrics, a great pace and a song that just sounds better every time I hear it. This does surprise a lot of non-Stones friends who of course have never heard of it. But, maybe that is the other enduring quality that makes the definitive Stones song...surprise.

I kind of disagree about the 'Chuck Berry Riff' being definitive for any of their songs. Why should their plagaristic ways be celebrated as their defining sound? Chuck Berry is Chuck Berry. If that be the Stones' 'definitave sound, than a) it negates so much of their much-more-creative stuff, abd b) they may as well just be a Chuck Berry cover band.

its difficult to nominate a definitive stones song cos the stones dont have just the one sound.
different era,s brought change from what went before.
