Just picked it up at my local grocery store's magazine section! Also features four decades of interviews from their archives!

In the german Edition of the 'Rolling Stone' there was already in August 2005 a Top-100-List by Wolfgang Doebeling.

Extensive knowledge of German also required. It's no fun to just read the titles, so a new version for English readers is definitely warranted.

Fortunately the Stones-songs are not named in german

The texts below the titles are more or less comments to the songs and their history, no justification for the ranking. For those who are nevertheless interested in the texts, the Google translator may help.

It was only intended as a comparison to the Special Collector's Edition. I could imagine that there are differences in the ranking .....

Is Wolfgang Doebeling deaf? Where's Midnight Rambler?

Congratulations and Family are regarded as superior to MR

I've found a comment about the list above in this old IORR-Thread [www.iorr.org]:

It is not just a plain list in the German 'Rolling Stone'. The author has a description or some writing about every song (16 pages total). Wolfgang Doebeling is a music journalist and Stones fan and has been writing about our most favorite band for a few decades. It is of course a personal list, nothing wrong with that.

Okay, thanks! It's always fun to read the comments under the titles as well.

Unfortunately, the article in the german Edition of the 'Rolling Stone' consists of scanned images - with copyable text would be a translation hardly a problem .....

Now THATS a good setlist!!

Excellent, must look out for this special today - haven't seen it since, just the normal new issue of RollingStone Magazine

Gimme Shelter is Number One! Not Satisfaction.

I just picked it up at my local supermarket:

I just picked it up at my local supermarket:

Yes, this is the little darling. Neither Out Of Control or Saint Of Me made the top 100! Ridiculous! When I saw that I shredded the entire magazine!

Both of those lists suck. What a joke.

I like them

Sorry if I missed it & it was already discussed but.....

Isn't there a Rolling Stones Top 100 songs mag. Coming out soon??

I haven't been able to fid it online, could someone please give me some info

it's on sale in the USA. not sure if it's on the web, or in what other countries it's hit the newstands.

There was a thread on this a few days ago:

[www.iorr.org]



No links were posted, but I think it's out now on newsstands.

Thanks guys....just picked it up! Very interesting

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

New magazine from ROLLING STONE, displaying on shelves until September 2013.


Pretty neat issue with some new pics I had never seen before.

When and where is this available in the UK?

Been keeping an eye out but haven't seen it anywhere

good stuff, i got mine

Is this Stones related or the Boston Bomber?

The magazine arrived two weeks ago in Mexico... It's interesting also because of the interviews and all the stuff....

The list is on Rolling Stone website now.

[www.rollingstone.com]

A top 100 list is too much. To choose a top ten list would be nice. Original Stones songs, no covers please.

Interesting, half of Sticky fingers can be found in the top 30 of all stones songs.

Interesting how little Goat's Head Soup got on the top 100...Angie and Star Star, that's it? Start Star doesn't even deserve to be on there.

Dirty Work shut out obviously. Voodoo Lounge too. How Can I Stop the only Bridges song, that I thought a bit surprising.

Rough Justice made it so ABB wasn't a shut out...there are better songs though on ABB so I wonder about how well the editors even know that album.

Emotional Rescue and Undercover did surprisingly well I thought. Tattoo You and Some Girls got more than their fair share, along with the big four.
