Take "Can't you hear me knockin" for example. An absolutely fantastic rock song, and my favorite RS song, but many many people out there probably won't ever hear it.

I think it's actually one of their more well known songs, not on "War Horse" level, but the next level of popularity below that. It's been used in a lot of movies (Casino and Blow both come to mind), T.V. shows, was on one of those guitar hero type games, it's been on several of those Rolling Stone Magazine readers poll things (#25 on their list of 100 Greatest Guitar Songs), etc. And given it's length, and the not so accessible sounding outro, it actually gets pretty decent radio play, around here at least. It's one of those songs that casual Stones fans, who know I'm a fan, usually ask for me to put on when they get in my car or whatever. I don't think it's in any danger of being forgotten, and it's certainly not hidden.
