german Rolling Stone Magazine had a reader`s choice for the TOP 100 Stones songs.

Here`s the TOP 5:
1. Gimme shelter
2. Sympathy for the devil
3. Paint it, black
4. Jumpin` Jack Flash
5. Wild horses

And here is the full list:
TOP 100 Stones Songs


Enjoy reading and discussing

Cheers,
Steinschlag

Great Choice from the german STONES-Fans, I really like all 100!

Nice list.
But I don´t know how it´s with you: Sometimes Sweet Black Angel is the Nr. 1 Song of the current month. The next weeks it´s Wild Horses.
So sometimes it´s more this song you do favour.
Next time it´s another.
Right Havo: All 100!

Aaaaand: 100 Songs - so many - and I do have a little history whcih each of them.

There was already a Top-100-List (Editor's & Reader's choice) in the german Edition of the 'Rolling Stone' in 2005, see this Thread: [www.iorr.org] .

I know.... they like these Top-whatever-lists

And: I definitely prefer a list with Stones songs to a list with Justin Bieber songs ><

Sure, of their nearly 400 official releases I missed some-ones in the tOP 100, but these changing Day by Day

I have a theory. About 25% of the Stones songs made it to the radio; about 25% are just as good as the ones that made it to the radio; about 25% are so-so; and about 25% are mediocre or even worse. That's not a bad ratio when you think about it.

At least the German Stonesfans know how to vote. deep album tracks; from earliest days to current. I think in US the songs would have started at '68.

...well this American would have had Hand of Fate and Let it Loose... which may be Jagger's greatest vocal top 25...
Love In Vain which may be their greatest cover....certainly better than 40....and Streets of Love would have been disqualified.

No way HYSYMBaby should rank below Love is Strong. That is just wrong

I smell a box set release!

After all the boxes in the last 5 years or so, it makes you wonder what they're thinking of to regurgitate.

I think the obvious ones are Rolling Stones MONO for ABKCO, and possibly superdeluxe for Sticky Fingers or Let it Bleed.

Other than that though, I think the elephant in the room is the Live records.

A complete box set on CD and on vinyl, for ALL the official releases, including the 6 download-only releases of the last couple of years.

That could be very cool indeed.
