Gimme Shelter is good choice, it's for the studio version obviously.

Most people only know the studio version, which has a marvellous beginning but later on tends to be repetitive and a bit boring, just like the studio version of YCAGWYW. Poor people who never heard a live Shelter from the 72 or 73 tour, being present themselves. They missed something great.
Gimme Shelter from the Taylor era is also the best live song ever.

This result is in tune with the IORR fan club voting in 2008, where thousands of IORR fans voted Ginmme Shelter as the best song ever. See the results of the IORR poll in 2008 here:

The most popular Rolling Stones songs
1 Gimme Shelter 12%
2 Jumping Jack Flash 7%
3 Brown Sugar 4%
We want Gimme Shelter live on the next tour! And Street Fighting Man. Please, Keith? Thanks!

I couldn't agree more. The guitar takes and mixes there were never repeated with the same effect, no matter how many times Keith listened to it and tried re-create it. peace

This doesn't sound like Bill's playing, it sounds like Keith's leaner, twangy, pick-plucking bass style heard on Sympathy For The Devil and Street Fighting Man. Perhaps Keith erased Bill's parts and dubbed his own onto the track, as he was so fond of doing at that time?

Great list but for my money JJF is the greatest rock and roll song of all time by anyone.

The dangerous atmosphere on the studio version makes it greater than all the live versions combined. Simply amazing and unsurpassable, imo. Some of the most effective guitar playing ever.
