Whenever I hear Gloria, I always think that Mick Jagger would really have a good time with the lyrics and The Rolling Stones would really kill covering that song live.
Agree with a lot of the Primal Scream noms, but I'd say that 'Damaged' off 'Screamadelica' is their most Stonesy moment. Could be an outtake from GHS.
Two not mentioned elsewhere:
Shake Yor Money by Black Grape. OK, it "vocally samples" 'Fool To Cry', but it has a perfect, loose early 70s vibe.
Swedish band The Soundtracks Of Our Lives can sound very Stonesy. A lot of very Keef-esque riffs on the 'Behind The Music' album, particularly 'Sister Surround' and '20th Century Rip-Off'.
Oh - and this thread would be incomplete without a mention of The Pretty Things.

'Just When You're Thinking Things Over' - a clone of 'Torn & Frayed'.
That Dandy Warhols' song 'Bohemian Like You' also bears a strong resemblance to 'Brown Sugar'
It might be a bit off the main topic here, but I like to mention Duane Jarvis' cd "Far From Perfect" from 1998; if you're interested in Stones stuff from the "Sticky Fingers" era with a lot of country rock influence, give this a try! Or in other words, if I would re-record this cd on cassette with a very muddy sound,I could sell it to some bootleggers as a third generation tape of "Sticky Fingers" outtakes!! Great songs and a vocal style not so far away from Jaggers!
