• Your favourite Rolling Stones track?

Sad to hear Charlie Watts has died. So which is your favourite Stones track? I think I will go with ‘Ruby Tuesday’ but I might change my mind.

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:11 pm**

I wasn’t really a RnR fan at the time but I really did like some of their ballads.

This Jagger is sublime.

can't you hear me knocking.

see ya charlie.

Either " Get Off Of My Cloud " or "She's A Rainbow"

As for "Ruby Tuesday", I realise this may be sacrilege but I prefer Melanie's version.

Street Fighting Man, but there are so many. It’s an inevitable fact that many of my 60’s favourites, if they haven’t already, will pass away in the next few years. What a band and what a live show. Seen many, starting at Nelson Imp and ending at large stadia

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:16 pm**

Wild Horses

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:17 pm**

Some of the raw early r’n’b stuff was good too. Route 66, Chuck Berry covers etc

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:19 pm**

Either "Lets Spend The Night Together" or "Light My Fire" both equally as good as each other

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:23 pm**

So many to choose but the first two I thought 2000 light years from home and Miss You

Paint it black for me, without a doubt

“Light My Fire”was a song by the Doors that was covered by Jose Feliciano.

Sympathy For The Devil is always one that gets me listening whenever it comes on the radio, a great tune, and a great story at the same time.

I love Sympathy For The Devil but there are just so many I love.

Yes I came to the Stones relatively late, mainly through my dad playing his old CD'S, but their back catalogue is incredible, and how you'd devise a greatest hits compilation I doesn't bear thinking about, I guess you could say the same of The Beatles, but obviously the Stones have been together for much longer to build up their vast collection of hits.

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:38 pm**

So many to choose from, the introduction for example from ‘Start Me Up’ is brilliant. But this is one of my favourites..

Probably a few songs of the name but Im definitely thinking of the one the Stones did with Bill Wyman's swirling keyboards

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:42 pm**

My fave Stones tune : She Was Hot

Loads of great tracks. Usually a different one on a different day. Today I’ll go for the brilliant simplicity of Under my thumb. RIP Charlie

Paint it black with You can't always get what you want on the B side

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:46 pm**

For me, it's a toss up between Jumpin' Jack Flash and Brown Sugar. Brilliant intros in both songs.

I've always been a massive Beatles fan but I did like the rock sound that the Stones generated on their singles. My favourite? Honkey Tonk Women.

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 6:55 pm**

Paint it Black from their earlier work.

More recently Rough Justice.

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:00 pm**

Funnily enough, I watched a 2020 documentary last night about Brian Jones. It's on Amazon Prime.

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:03 pm**

Lots to choose from but possibly Gimme Shelter or maybe Wild Horses. Those albums through Let it Bleed to Exile .. are solid gold

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:07 pm**

Honky Tonk Women

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:12 pm**

I like this one,
'rough justice' from the 'a bigger bang' album, great live - I was lucky enough to see them at Cardiff on that tour.

Another one for "Paint it Black" here

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:24 pm**

I go right back to the beginning with Come On and You Better Move On.

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:26 pm**

Sympathy for the Devil
Playing with fire

With Paint it Black a good first reserve

Not so much red wasp as Little Red Rooster then?

Another shout for Paint It Black (Brian Jones superb Sitar).

Get off my cloud
Sympathy
Gimme shelter

Difficult to chose between those three.

Saw them live at the O2 some years since now and they were awesome.

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:59 pm**

Impossible to have just one
Paint it black
Get off my cloud and a very honourable mention to Gimme Shelter .

Still great live , ok they play campfire chords now and bits of overdub but still brilliant

RIP Charlie

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 8:09 pm**

Very difficult to choose but loved "Salt of the Earth" - Concert for NYC .
RIP Charlie, you old rocker!

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 8:28 pm**

Agree totally. Might not be there most popular but for me "Come On" has always been special. Wish I could post a You Tube Link. Maybe someone can do it for me.

Posted: **Tue Aug 24, 2021 9:10 pm**

Sympathy For The Devil
Gimme Shelter
On the day when Charlie has past can anybody remind me the title of the song that videoed with the set filling with bubbles. It was a bad design, the producer had forgotten that Charlie was sitting down. He could have left us that day but being a pro he kept beat.

It's Only Rock n Roll

Rocks Off, or Beast of Burden. Or Gimme Shelter.

Probably changes daily

Just watching the gig from 1969 on Sky Arts 'Stones in the Park'.

My mother walked across London barefooted to the gig. Flower power and all that
