All the songs are of equal beauty. Take the first post then.
You’ve already voted, no?
I know, of course, that the Stones have so many incredibly good songs, and I also had a really hard time reducing the list to 5 songs, but I can only count votes with 5 songs.
GasLightStreet had already voted (see quote), but that also meant submitting 10 songs.
Unfortunately, I can't accept the current two lists with 5 songs each (riffs & licks) – please only 5 songs in total...
@TheflyingDutchman: OK, your first list will still be counted.
The 100th voter!
Thanks, Matatu! Let’s reach 150 votes!
Ah, Bob! I'm a fan of your show, but far too shy to appear! It is a terrific idea, though, and will message you if I change my mind. Perhaps Nankstone may be interested? He started the poll, after all.
BigAl - it'll just be the two of us! There's been a few shy uns on the show - once we start talking Stones...
Nankstone - come on down, we'd love to get you on the show!
Bob, I'll drop you a line soon! I need to figure-out when I'll be able to do it, and importantly, what room to do it from!
Oh no, that's not quite right, Barkerboy2 started this thread ... I'm only just counting everything here.
Sorry Room1009, probably not at the moment (same reasons as Big Al).
Perhaps Barkerboy2 maybe interested? He startet the poll

Ah, yes he did. Apologies to Bakerboy2. Still, it’s an achievement that this poll is continually growing! Keep the votes coming, everyone!
Correct, not like that, specifically. It wasn't to vote again, just a different chiming in.

Thank you for the acknowledgment Nankstone! I can't take credit for all your hard work though - all I did was have a tipsy conversation with a mate in a pub - you have gone above and beyond in compiling all the different lists and giving us the most comprehensive Top 5 list of Stones songs 'according to the die-hard fans' perhaps we will ever see!
I bow to you, my friend! :'D

JJF (side three Hot Rocks)
Gimme Shelter
Brown Sugar
Happy (side three Exile)
Miss You
The only way that I could narrow this down to five was to think about when the needle touches vinyl on my turn table…

Yes, please only submit 5 songs once per member.
Of course TheflyingDutchman, I can also exchange the 5 songs already sent for the 5 new ones.
Next update will be around New Year's Eve.

My personal Top 5 constantly changes, sometimes in particular order, but overall:
Gimme Shelter
CYHMK or Slave
Time Waits For No One or Dancing With Mr D or Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Shattered or She's So Cold or Neighbours
Tie You Up
I know, of course, that the Stones have so many incredibly good songs, and I also had a really hard time reducing the list to 5 songs, but I can only count votes with 5 songs.
