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

CYHMK on Licked Live Ronnie’s guitar slide solo really really good!

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!

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.

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."
