I got this strange though: If I was told I could bring three - 3 - Stones songs with me only, to play on repeat again and again as much as I liked, in a car or on a travel, or on an island without other music, what three songs would I choose? It was a tough one. The first two came easy, the last one was hard. My final "Stones on repeat" CD would be like this:

- Memory Motel
- Out Of Control (live)
- Gimme Shelter (live)

Bjornulf

if i was told i could only bring 3, i would cancel the trip

This are (some) the ones I never get tired of.

Torn and frayed.
Sweet Virginia.
Moonlight mile.

Ruby Tuesday
Gimme Shelter
No Expectations

Gimme shelter would be one of them indeed

Gimme Shelter
Jigsaw Puzzle
Stray Cat Blues (Ya Ya's Live)

__________________________

It's difficult.
Choose Gimme Shelter (studio with Keith on vocals) and Midnigth Rambler (live Brussels)and the third depends on the day.
Today, Time Waits For No One.

You want to kill us !
Ok let's try, but just for a (short) travel...

She's so cold (and so underated )
Ventilator Blues
Gimme Shelter

never get tired with these three ones
I have some other 3 tracks choice, for some other ( short) travels ><

HMN

Out of time

route 66

Time waits for no-one

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

Woo-hoo, new trip:

Little Red Rooster
Under My Thumb
Jumpin' Jack Flash

Brown Sugar (Sticky Fingers version)
Can't You Hear Me Knocking
All Down the Line

Hard to choose just three.

Start Me Up (could hear this ten times a day and never tire of it)
Monkey Man (five times)
Hey Negrita (two or three times)

And loads more (once or twice).

The 'Holy Trinity' from Exile - Loving Cup, Let It Loose, and Shine A Light for the long ride there and Moonlight Mile, Memory Motel and Winter for the long ride back.

Ok, I cheated.

That depends: in the morning
Shine A Light
Loving Cup
Sweet Virginia
and at the night
Bitch
Brown Sugar
Sweet Black Angel

1. Winter
2. Gimme Shelter
3. Aint to Proud to Beg

Mick's rock, I'm roll.

Rocks Off
Tumbling Dice
Loving Cup

I take it they have to be official

Let It Bleed ( LIB )
Love In Vain ( Ya Yas )
Memory Motel ( B n' B )

Can't do just three..How about a TOP FIVE?

In no particular order:

Monkey Man
Bitch
Gimme Shelter
All Down the Line
Jumping JAck F**kin' Flash

Let's start with Sway. Of course from Sticky Fingers.
Then: You Can't Always Get What You Want, live, from my favourite 1973 setlist (uploaded on the Buy/Sell/Trade section).
Finally I think it will be Street Fighting Man, live, also from my favourite 1973 setlist, or maybe the London 9-9-1973 version.

Tomorrow I would choose 3 others I guess. Just too many excellent (live and studio) songs.

But here's a really difficult one: what if you only could choose 1 song!

Yeah but I'm glad that wasn't the initial question

I can always start a thread with that title. It's not OT.

on my thread you can take as many stones songs as you like...but only songs that sound like stones songs....

I'd take teh 3 longest versions of Midnight Rambler I could find.

I see a new topic on the horizon.

Could these three most requested songs appear on the next Stones tour setlist?

That is the first thought that crossed my mind. BV never starts a thread for responses. A conspiracy theory of course

GIMME SHELTER
MONKEY MAN
100 YEARS
but trust me the list is so long i feel like iam disrespecting many other songs

gimme shelter STUDIO (they never nailed it live imo)
torn and frayed
moonlightmile

Difficult.... but..


Gimme Shelter
Paint It Black
Start Me Up

Guess I'd make them long songs, Midnight Rambler, Can't you hear me Knocking, Let it Loose.

I can't believe no one has gotten this right yet. (Then again, I guess it is somewhat of a trick question.)

The correct answer is, you take the riff from Beast of Burden and just put it on an endless loop.

Then you don't have to stress out about trying to narrow it down to three songs.
