Inspired by this link (https://ultimateclassicrock.com/best-rolling-stones-songs/), what are your picks for favourite track per studio album?

The article has a few rules, such as the song wherever possible must be a Stones composition, and also only sticks with the UK line with a few exceptions. For myself, I’m relaxing the first rule to simply list the song I find myself going back to the most often, and while I agree that the UK line should be considered the “official” line, I’m including both lines in order to cover all bases.

So here is my list, as I feel today:

TRS - I Just Want To Make Love To You
TRS:ENHM - Not Fade Away
RS2 - Time Is On My Side
12X5 - It’s All Over Now
NOW! - Little Red Rooster
OOOH (UK) - Good Times
OOOH (US) - Satisfaction
DC(&E) - Blue Turns To Grey
AM (UK) - Under My Thumb
AM (US) - Paint It Black

Great thread!

Thanks GasLightStreet! And thanks to all the respondents so far. I’m actually thrilled to see so many different choices and perspectives for favourite tracks, knowing that musical tastes are a personal thing and that we all don’t necessarily prefer the same choices. Certainly keeps things interesting!

Maybe with some luck, at some point we’ll be able to add one more studio album to this type of survey!.....Cheers!

I'm guessing someone will make a tally of each album's songs listed, which will reveal certain things, like how some people are more attuned to the first single from an LP or how whatever LP track is mentioned.

Good fun, really. Stones geek fun.

The kind of positivity needed these days. And a fantastic revelation of their career/discography, which is more than any band I can think of.

Well said, GaslightStreet. Certainly the Stones are unique in their accomplishments and will forever remain iconic. I was actually pondering the idea of compiling the results after a while, when all is said and done. There are a number of expected choices mixed in with some nice surprises. Will be curious to see some final tallies!

Interesting addition to this survey, dandelion1967! My vote for my favourite non-studio album track would have to be "Jumping Jack Flash".

Cheers!

As enticing as is to say "but X track should be included" - well, that's not the deal.

Just pick one.

I look forward to what is tallied. There has been this kind of thread before, as I recall, but I can't remember at the moment what they were so... this is good. It's nice.
