Lots of warhorses guys...just saying.

Because the warhorses are also fantastic - but we just heard them thausend times. Yes, I would rather hear some rare stuff too, but songs like JJF, GS and BS are also amazing.

I forgot Monkey Man and Let It Loose for some football-related reason but there you go.

Indian Girl is a good song but please keep it away from a top 25 list.

In no order except the last one.............

1 Play With Fire
2 2000 Light Years From Home
3 No Expectations
4 Parachute Woman
5 Stray Cat Blues
6 Salt Of The Earth
7 We Love You
8 Honky Tonk Woman
9 Ruby Tuesday
10 Gimme Shelter
11 Midnight Rambler
12 Monkey Man
13 Brown Sugar
14 Dead Flowers
15 Moonlight Mile
16 Sweet Virginia
17 Heart Of Stone
18 Memo From Turner
19 Moonlight Mile
20 Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown
21 Wild Horses
22 Rocks Off
23 Down in The Hole
24 Angie
25 Winter
26 Back To Zero

I left out Ruby Tuesday and Let's Spend The Night Together, and probably a few others.

To me it looks like that you have forgotten the whole BETWEEN THE BUTTONS album... And of STICKY FINGERS only "Wild Horses" didn't made the list, which is an interesting choice (what's wrong with it?). But we all have our own taste!

Corrections have been made. Thanks for pointing out my omissions.

Nice to see that others agree with me that Out Of Control and Saint Of Me are classics and are as good as anything the Stones have ever done. Especially played live and exactly as Mick did them for the St. Louis show on the Bridges tour.

Well, I can find fault with a few...but, I'll give a little curtsy to those that particpated too. As Keith says, how do you choose among your babies? I'd be hard pressed to come up with just twenty-five. I love most all of them.

Fun to see the variations which show just how many great songs the Stones have recorded over the years. I have a top 200 list which has evolved over the past several years and my current top 25 are:

1. Shattered
2. Satisfaction
3. Paint it Black
4. Street Fighting Man
5. Honky Tonk Women
6. Gimme Shelter
7. Midnight Rambler
8. Ruby Tuesday
9. Under my Thumb
10. Jumpin Jack Flash
11. Sister Morphine
12. It's only Rock-n-Roll
13. Sympathy for the Devil
14. Dead Flowers
15. Time Waits for No One
16. Emotional Rescue
17. Sweet Virginia
18. Rocks Off
19. Bitch
20. Jigsaw Puzzle
21. As Tears go By
22. Undercover of the Night
23. All Down the Line
24. No Spare Parts
25. We Love You!

Dreamer - The warhorses have been played to death but those are fantastic songs that are in my DNA. Would love more rarities but how can some of the best rock songs ever written and performed be left out of the Stones top 25 songs?? That is just ridiculous. When the Stones do stop we will all bitch and complain that we no longer go and see them play Satisfaction. I relish Satisfaction when I am at a show it can always be the last time that the timeless song that made the Rolling Stones mega rock stars will ever be played. Do I wish the band would play less "warhorses" when I go to a show? Yes. But I don't want to go to a show where they play none of them. Whatever we think of Start Me Up it always gets the crowd fired up. As soon as Keith hits those apparently simple little notes the crowd is on their feet jumping, dancing and yelling. When Keith can no longer do this we will be robbed of a real important part of our lives and yearn to be young again. That is how those so called warhorses make me feel.
