Don't know if this has ever been asked but what is your favourite Stones ballad? Mine would have to be No Expectations. It's a hauntingly beautiful slow song. The piano and slide guitar on it are nothing short of brilliant and Jagger's singing is quite nice as well.

Wild Horses and i also love Tops

Once again, "Sleep Tonite" gets my vote.

And Their cover version of "Love In Vain" is out of this world, better than Robert Johnson could ever have imagined.

Wild Horses, hands down is the #1 ballad for me followed by Almost Hear You Sigh, Winter and Streets Of Love.

Lady Jane

I'm shocked at how "forgotten" this track is. (One other vote so far)

This has got to be one of their best songs/performances ever. The mood of the thing. Brian at his peak.

Like Rutger I worship Lovin´ Cup; but I dont really see (hear) it as a ballad.
