Been avoiding this thread cause it seems an impossible question to answer and the actual answer would not be my personal favorite Stones song.
But in order to give it a twist I'll answer what I think the quintessential tune is for each Rolling Stone member.
Brian- Under My Thumb
Mick Taylor - Sway
Keith - Jumpin' Jack Flash
Bill Wyman - Miss You
Mick Jagger - You Can't Always Get What You Want
Charlie - Ventilator Blues
Ronnie - It's Only Rock and Roll
Bobby Keys - Brown Sugar
peace

Funny, how we start a thread with the quintessential Stones song we we move quickly to a 15 song list. For me the it is Jumping Jack Flash because a first of the open tuning songs and the song that started my beloved 68-73 run. I love Tumbling Dice because of it the highlight of the this period (brass, taylor, open G, and the best groove song they ever made). And my favorites remain Brown Sugar and the GYYO Sympathy for the Devil. But quintessential -JJF

I always thought the quintessential was "representing the most perfect or typical example of a quality or class" or the " pure and essential essence of something". Also the thread name is the "quintessential Stones song" and not list of songs

Most perfect is redundant; there's no superlative form of perfection--if it's perfect then there can't be a thing more perfect. As well you can have multiple examples of a perfect thing--think about throwing a perfect game. There isn't just one.
"typical example" seems right on, to me. But again that doesn't mean there's just one. Quintessence literally means the fifth essence--beyond earth, wind, fire & water--it's the spirit or ether of a thing.
Hell, the list might be fifty songs and called Grrr!. (kidding)

Rocks Off! Because it was not a hit and it is awesome. Fire and dark energy, and horns and sheer glee. You can tell the Stones put a lot of work in to that song with all the layering, and yet is still rough and full of energy.
It is the ultimate burst of non-commercial not-a-big-hit angst-driven still-youthful pure Rolling Stones. And it is a toe-tapping ditty.

Brian Jones era: Under My Thumb
Brian Jonesless era: Jumpin' Jack Flash
Mick Taylor era: Tumbling Dice
Ronnie Wood era: She's So Cold
post Bill Wyman era: Love Is Strong
The Rolling Stones overall:
Tumbling Dice
As much as Jumpin' Jack and Brown Sugar are probably the actual quintessential Stones songs, Tumbling Dice personifies The Rolling Stones.
