"No Anchovies, Please"

She's A Rainbow
Brown Sugar

That's my top 5 today ... the first three are my all-time favourites. Numbers 4 and 5 may change from day to day :-)

Can't You Hear Me Knocking

55, I would have thought "Whip" would have been on your list, based on your signature.

Brown Sugar

Winter

Gimme Shelter
Sympathy
Satisfaction
Get Off My Cloud
Happy

Any five from Ya Yas minus Honky Tonk Women...

JR

Ah, forgot Gimme Shelter!

I never get what people see in 'Winter'?

I can't resist the temptation to be the first on this board to list a song that is definitely in my Top 5. My choices are kind of obvious (all but one were singles). In no particular order;

Tumbling Dice
Brown Sugar
Gimme Shelter
Jumpin' Jack Flash
The Last Time

Honky Tonk Women could replace one of those 5 if my mood were to shift slightly

Makes me laugh looking at these lists, most are the favorite "warhorses" as some of you put it but most people say they are their favorite songs , so when the Sones play them why moan? I've seen it time and time again , Why do they play these songs, when it just goes to prove that they play them because they are peoples favorites.

Mine are

Midnight Rambler
Gimmi Shelter
Wild Horses
Sympathy for the Devil
Under my thumb

Trouble is I may think of a different list tomorrow

official releases

1. Gimme Shelter
2. Midnight Rambler (Ya Yas version)
3. Jumpin' Jack Flash
4. Moonlight Mile
5. Winter

Ablett - 'Winter' took decades for me to appreciate. Until a couple of years ago, it probably wouldnt even have been in my top 50. Dont know what did the trick, maybe OpenG's incessant championing of it or maybe just having it playing at random on headphones one day and the penny finally dropping as to how majestic it is. Beautiful vocal performance, great imagery, THAT solo and most of all, those strings towards the end.

Memory Motel
Brown Sugar
Dead Flowers
Jumpin' Jack Flash
Flip the Switch

1 Wild horses
2.She's like a rainbow
3.Street fighting man
4.Back of my hand
5.Saint of me

Ermm..only ablett and monkeylad picked a list where "most" (3 out of 5) were warhorses.

Yeah and nobody but nobody could ever say the Rice Krispies jingle was a Warhorse.
However I will pay handsomely if anyone can find a live version.

HS - She's a Rainbow? Really, that's in your top 10, I'm kinda surprised. I expected all heavy rockers from you. Not that I"m putting down the song at all!
