Tell Me :
Talk
Oh yes certainly - the opening riffs of Satisfaction, JJF and SMU, the jazzy non-stop segments of CYHMK, the bridge of She's So Cold, the hooks of Miss You and Emotional Rescue, the "dangerous" or rough atmospheres of Gimme Shelter, Shattered and One Hit (To the Body), the soulful sweet ballads of Angie, Fool To Cry, Almost Hear You Sigh, and Laugh, I Nearly Died.....I'm sure I could go on and on.

He does not play slide on this song
Two songs served to establish & cement my lifelong love affair with the Rolling Stones. One was Jumpin' Jack Flash, which I heard being played on the pirate radio station Radio Caroline as I was waiting in a school corridor outside the library, just about to go in and take a pretty crucial exam at the time. I was 13 years old at that time.
The second song was Get Off Of My Cloud, which I heard sometime later. Someone at school had the album Big Hits - High Tide & Green Grass. When I heard that song, life changed forever. I love that song as much today as I did when I first heard it .......

I agree, a pretty difficult song to tire of !
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
No wrong answers in the thread, but this is the correct one
In the case of Rambler, I would say LIVE versions, perhaps not the studio version

Great song. Gonna play it now. Thank you for your suggestion.
Totally feel the same about JJF, as opposed to the stylistically similiar Satisfaction. Not sure why.
I could point to Rocks Off, She's So Cold, SFTD and a number of other examples of that as well.
Talk about your favorite band.

What is it that first thrilled you about the Rolling Stones music, for me they’re like a drug and I still chase it, pretty much everyday or every time I listen to them, I’m looking for that unexpected change in pace, lyric, inflection, riff, beat that just makes the boys sound still so unique…most recently I got it from Licked Live in NYC on SMU…(which I’ve never loved live)…and Jagger has a magnificent “yelp” about 3/4 of the way thru the song, and it’s a thrill…
So I thought it an opportunity to pithily describe that flash of something that really turns you on about the band…over to youse!

For myself (a fan since the early 80s), two specific elements drew me in to the Stones' music - killer riffs or hooks, and their so-called penchant for the "art of weaving" between the guitars. So unique and special, jumping off the page, these elements (along with their longevity) have kept me interested and intrigued over the years - to see what they could come up with next, with few disappointments.

Couldn’t agree more. Are there any specific moments in songs that you can describe?

Their vast and varied catalogue speaks for itself, and can't be defined or described with mere words.

Jumpin' Jack Flash for mor me. It has all the elements of Rock and Roll explosion. So exciting that it's the only song that's never bored me no matter how many times I've heard it.

I know it's considered lightweight by some fans but I think Honky Tonk Women is the quintessential Stones song - classic Charlie drum fill, attention grabbing guitar riff, louche opening line in inimitable Mick drawl, sexual innuendo and nonsense lyrics with the best dance beat.

The part in "Bitch" when MJ sings "when you call my name..." : it feels like the song is both going off the rails and raises itself to another level.
This band is unique.

but for me Charlie's timing is fantastic.
Even better... Charlie and Bill playing together is pure magic.

Yeah, that part in "Bitch" is high energy going to another level. I have to say Midnight Rambler is also a live favorite, especially these days. Maybe even the best part of the concert. Except for JJF of course

Describe the exciting quintessence of the Stones music in a song…
hmmm
I took Talk Is Cheap, the old West German Vinyl pressing from my shelf just half an hour ago. Struggle.
Great song (good mastering). Ok not a Stones song persé but the same feel to me.

SHATTERED! I had never heard anything like it, the lyrics, vocals, guitar, bass ... Wiki has a nice summary, with selections from various reviews, that sums it up best for me:
Most of Richards' guitar work is a basic rhythmic pattern strumming out the alternating tonic and dominant chords with each bar, utilizing a relatively modest phaser sound effect for some added depth.
Billboard stated that the "heavy bottom and...frenetic vocals translate New York's neurotic energy to music." Cash Box said that "the unique rhythmic undercurrents and Mick Jagger's harrowing chant-like vocals of life in the big Apple make this a top pop winner." Record World called it "rock 'n' roll funk with a flourish."

Laid back groove...
Same core, and meanwhile never the same...
Well, at least while Bill Wyman was on board and before they use a BPM counter for their performances.

Exile On Main Street defines the magic of the Rolling Stones for me...so many different grooves, from Jagger's gut-wrenching vocal in " Let It Loose" to the harp intro of " Sweet Virginia" to " All Down The Line" with it's whirlwind tempo to the brilliant intro of " Sweet Black Angel"...all of the songs on Exile are little masterpieces in their own way and of course you can feel the blues running through the entire album. It transports me right back to 1972...I can almost feel the clammy walls of the basement where much of this album was recorded, I can hear Bobby Keyes on sax and the echo of Charlie's drums pulsing through each track. What more could one want from a band?
