It is an impossible task. For there are so many, many more songs that are amomg their five best. The only choice left to me is either to abstain or to mention earliest candidates to their five best. - So here goes "Tell Me" "Little by Little" "It's All Over Now" "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" "What a Shame" (Maybe I even have fo

There was an outtake "Looking Tired" in addition, which I think was from those sessions. And a projected album never to be was COULD YOU WALK ON THE WATER? What I do not know, is whether this was to include only some of the songs in the opening post or (almost) all of them. Both alternatives I have read about over time. Other more informed posters will certainly know.

Quotematxil ……………… I don't hate any Stones albums. There is at least one I never play (Between the Buttons) and some which have horrible stuff on them but also some good stuff (TSMR and DW obviously) and then there are some which are okayish, like a tepid shower or a York ham sandwich without cheese and pickles. Most albums post DW are okayish, playing it safe but without being exciting

Not quite so R&B-oriented as their version of the Chuck Berry song, "Around and Around", I have all the same always loved the cover of this song from the Stones, which I in its time obtained from the German Decca compilation AROUND AND AROUND. That compilation along with their first album, according to the UK catalogue, I think constitute the first peak in the career of the Rolling

As I have written in another thread: This is a rock'n'roll song. But what makes the original studio version from the Rolling Stones so great to me, is that the Stones play it as a rhytmn and blues song and with such a feel. That makes it stand apart from their other covers of Chuck Berry songs, at least to me.

Quoteblivet Quotesteenhorst "I Just Want to See His Face" This track is one of my favorites, and this perfectly illustrates why I won't be participating (although I will follow with great interest).

QuoteDoxa Of the deluxe tracks this is the one I think is the most 'Tattoo Youed'. Jagger took the old out-take and updated it to fit his mouth here and now, not even trying to copy the 'original'.

Quotetreaclefingers Filler on an album was standard until the Beatles arrived and created product that stood as artistic choices. Which didn't mean, to Skippy's point, that some of those choices couldn't be poor choices. So filler literally means songs created to "fill the space" on an album to justify it's release. It's lazy.
