As I was lying in bed last night trying to get to sleep I was thinking what would the perfect Stones album be like, taking all the songs from all the eras I ended up with this then fell asleep! Assuming its 12 tracks:- 1) Gimme Shelter 2) Saint of Me 3) Midnight Rambler (Live) 4) When the Whip Comes Down 5) Happy 6) Can't You Hear me Knocking? 7) Sympathy for the Devil 8) Route 66 9) Rocks Off 10) Melody 11) Winter 12) Moonlight Mile
1 - Satisfaction 2 - Under My Thumb 3 - Gimme Shelter 4 - Sympathy For The Devil 5 - Monkey Man 6 - Infamy 7 - Fool To Cry 8 - Rain Fall Down 9 - Midnight Rambler 10- Star Star 11- Rocks Off 12- Sad Sad Sad
1. Jumping Jack Flash 2. Sway 3. Silver Train 4. Crazy Mama 5. Can't You Hear Me Knockin'? 6. Torn & Frayed 7. Dead Flowers 8. Child of the Moon 9. Street Fighting Man (mono mix) 10. Midnight Rambler 11. Time Waits For No One 12. Let It Rock
Good call RSFan, its so hard to know what to leave off. I tried to deliberately stay away from singles, harking back to the days in the UK when singles would'nt appear on albums. But can't argue with any of your selections and like the way that you have come right up to date.
Mr Bong I was putting myself in the position of the Stones being a new band and just releasing their first album and then thought what would make it the best album ever if it came out without knowing the songs existed. If you get my drift!
1. Start Me Up 2. Brown Sugar 3. Honky Tonk Women 4. Midnight Rambler 5. Gimme Shelter 6. Sympathy 7. Satisfaction 8. Memory Motel 9. Love In Vain 10. JJF 11. Before They make Me Run 12. Shattered

Well, everybody has their favorites and the warhorses would truly dominate most everyone's best of CD. I did this several years ago and have since changed my mind about a few, but here goes:
1. Jumpin' Jack Flash 2. Honky Tonk Women 3. Gimme Shelter 4. Symathy for the Devil 5. Start Me Up 6. Brown Sugar 7. All Down The Line 8. Midnight Rambler (Live) 9. Shattered 10. You Can't Always Get What You Want 11. Live With Me 12. Respectable 13. Tumbling Dice 14. Street Fighting Man 15. Happy 16. Bitch 17. Moonlight Mile and the bonus cut: Satisfaction, I know their signature tune, but even Mick and Keith were uncertain of it as a single and we know the lick was recorded while Keith was attempting to pass out.
Have at it with my list. It's heavy on the hits, but the thread was ONE best of CD. I personally think 40 Licks captured most of their most popular tunes, but not necessarily their best. I left out many of course, including one I would add as a ("B side ) and that would be "Out of Control" which IMHO one of their best cuts since 1981.
At least most all lists on this thread have tried to capture all periods of the band, although most of us would agree their most popular and enduring hits with a few exceptions were recorded between 1968 and 1973. Paint It, Black, Satisfaction, Ruby Tuesday, Miss You and Start Me Up excepting of course.
