I like 'Time Waits For No One' - never hear it on the radio, why? Maybe that's a good thing and it keeps us craving some of these gems more. . ?? Comments?

Time can tear down a building. . .or distroy a women's face. . . .

When there was great radio that tune would pop up on occassion. No chance anymore. I actually heard it on XM not too long ago. I always liked Hide Your Love off of Goats. Fun tune with a little bit of everything that makes the Stones great.

Our local "classic rock" station has started playing amazing Stones stuff lately. First noticed it at the beginning of December - driving back from Neil Young in Buffalo they played Sweet Black Angel and Bitch within 2 hours. Lately heard Monkey Man, the live version of Start Me Up from the Toronto Rocks concert in July '03, Happy, You Got the Silver, a live version of Neighbours and more other usual and unusual stuff. And... I only listen for about an hour in the morning and when I am driving. Who knows what else they are playing??? But the Stones ratio is definitely way up - they used to play Led Zep every other song... Believe the Program Director has been possessed by benevolent aliens. Listen on line: [www.q107.com]

Play With Fire.

Judging from my local rock station, plenty!
My station doesn't even play all the 20-odd warhorses
the Stones themselves play live these days.

im a radio dj and try to sneak in the stones as much as possible (satisfaction oddly enough just came on as im typing this)...
what stones tunes can sneak in all depends on the station and its format.

i work for what is dubbed a 'classic hits' station which is different than a classic rock station.

classic rock (like Q107 which was linked to above) can get away with playing live versions of neighbours, sweet black angel, live start me up etc.

i've tried but it just doesn't flow on our station. instead i try to work in a lot of the 60s stuff (play with fire, heart of stone, mothers little helper, time is on my side) while balancing it with dead flowers or bitch. we of course just like the band play all the war horses too.

i've got my own special shows in the evening on which i often sneak on plenty of lesser heard tunes ie - sway, dear doctor, she was hot etc.

but as sad as it sounds, the songs you can play relaly are costum tailored to the station, there is just an undefinable boarder about what songs flow with everything else the station plays.

I cant even remember the last time I heard a Stones tune on the wireless

I've been on a personal mission to get Winter played on the radio. Without success so far. But a few weeks ago a local station played Jigsaw Puzzle. Which is rarely ever played on the radio. Of course then the dj comes on and brags about playing "that great stones rarity".Ughh...play it more often then.

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

Q104.3 in NYC will dig out a nugget from time to time - I've heard them play "Winter", "Knockin'", and even "Slave" a few times.

That said, I'm more floored these days when I hear something post-Tattoo You. That one month period (August 2005) when they played "Rough Justice" and "Oh No Not You Again" was great!

I remember hearing Mercy Mercy on the Big Ape out of JAX. I thought I'd gone to heaven. I was wrong and this stopped happening all over the lands! But of course "they" know what we want to hear. Just ask "them."

i personally despise radio anymore but one song that should of had more airplay is 100 yrs ago

was that KFOG sweetcharmed? I remember they played Dancing with Mr D. once a couple years ago.

Ive heard Out of Control twice recently on 98.5 Kfox. after the song the DJ said 'lets hear mick play that harp again.." and they played the last part again.
actually just heard Spider and the fly tonight on that staion.

Yeah RP. I told you the story of how I won on request o rama a few monthes ago. Only to havet hem tell me that Winter wasn't up tempo enough. Mind you this was at 6 in the morning. Up tempo wasn't on my agenda. We ened up settling on Rocks Off. I lost some respect for Dave Morey. Long time jock around these parts.

Yeah, I like Dave Morey but he kind of missed the point of what "taking a request" is.

Three good (well great actually) stones songs which spring to mind, that i've never heard on the radio are Let It Bleed, Can't You Hear Me knocking and Sway

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

And when I search a faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray and black and white
They don't look real to me
In fact, they look so strange

Raise your glass to the hard working people
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio

And when I look in the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays and black and white
They don't look real to me
Or don't they look so strange

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's drink to the two thousand million
Let's think of the humble of birth

Lets raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Lets raise our drink
To the salt of the earth.......

I think the last time this song was aired live was Licks 2003 Twickenham ... sadly. Great song, should be played more. Piano bit towards the end could be improvised to death to make a truly shitkicking version live, wish they'd do things like this. Don't think I've EVER heard it on a radio station.

i hear that song in my dreams

I had a vivid dream last night that I was at a Stones gig where they were playing Sweet Black Angel. It was amazing.

So real...

Last night on Danish night radio I heard Streets Of Love. Then I switched to Radio Horsens and surprise surprise: Don't Stop was on. These two songs seem like radio friendly unit shifters, but they are great.

Good Stones songs that don't get airplay?This could be a very long list although,I've heard Let It Bleed and Can't You Hear Me Knocking many times on the radio.Also,Time Waits For No One gets played once in a long while.I would have to say Let It Loose is the first good song that comes to mind which never seems to get radio play.

@#$%& Blues ;-)

as i said: @#$%& blues!!!

melody, slave, heaven, soul survivor, 999 (kr/solo) and i think even gimme shelter isnt played often..

Let It Rock

Mother's Little Helper, and Lady Jane.

Oldies stations play the crap out of 60s bubblegum, but won't play these.

Sittin On A fence
When Blue Turns To Grey
Jivin Sis Fanny
(let go, a cover - ) I Dont Know Why (I Love You)
Family; Downtown Suzy; Memo From Turner & most of Metamorphosis
Dandelion
Connection
Ventilator Blues
Silvertrain
Crazy Mama
Feel On Baby
She Was Hot

"Mercy Mercy" on Little Steven's Underground Garage as I type.

Hell yeah!

Waiting On A Friend she be added to airplay for sure. A live performance would be off the chart!

Parachute Woman

I'm also a radio DJ and I (fortunatley) do a show on a station with no playlists, so I can playwhatever I want-- I have been able to get the station on a number of occasions to let me dedicate my entire three hour show to the Stones, and have played all kinds of stuff--unreleased stuff, solo stuff, and always play the stuff you never hear on radio--

@#$%& blues

memo from turner
