    "Paint it Black" for me but I was not alive in the 60's. It is important to experience the world in which a song was created to understand which song truly had the most to say and resonated the best. A great song has to have that connection and is not necessarily the one the masses picked up on the most. It is like saying that the greatest Nirvana song was Smells Like Teen Spirit. It may be the one the masses will remember but there is no way in hell it was their best song.

    Now that takes some thinking about, Stan; what would you call the back-up songs - 60 Riffs ? <whistle>

    Edit: 2000 Light Years From Home.(1969) This would have to be included as, although not one of their vibrant best, it typified that time of drugs and excess, with Jagger seeing the wrong side of bars and Jones leaving his last real musical touch on the Mellotron, before his last sad swim. Physco (deliic) days, indeed!

    Paint it Black.

    First heard it sung by the Modettes, then heard the stones version as a theme tune for some Vietnam tv series. It's a brilliantly crafted dark song.

    I dont normally go with the obvious but for me it is Sympathy for the Devil, followed by Monkey Man and Gimme Shelter.

    Edit - I just looked at the list and saw I had 2 of the top 3. I hate being that predictable.

    The greatest rock n roll band ever. sex drugs n rock n roll.

    Going to have to think about this one but definitely one of my favourite opening lines of a song is:

    I was born in a cross-fire hurricane

    Without ploughing throughout, when it says songs does it mean ones they wrote themselves?
    Because, being old enough to see them live in 1964, my favourite recording by the Stones are all covers.

    Interesting you ask that, CC - I assumed they were Jagger/Richard; Nanker/Phelge; Glimmer Twins songs. If we go for covers, that's a whole different question.

    ( I bet you saw 'em on Ready, Steady, Go as well....)

    RSG was required viewing. "The Weekend Starts Here". Best ever music programme on TV. And, apart from the music, there was Sandy Sargent...

    Many great nights on RSG but this was the best.

    Imagine being 16, Hull City has just got promoted and were getting 30,000 crowds, England were World Champions and on Friday you watched something like that before heading out for the night.

    They had specials with Solomon Burke, who was brilliant, which comes as no surprise, and James Brown who was bloody awful. Unfortunately no tapes of those shows survive.

    Here is another good one, won't play on tablets or mobiles though.
