THE TOP 25 ROLLING STONES NUMBERS, BECAUSE YOU ASKED.....
Not a week goes by without the Agony Shorthand mailbag containing an entreaty from someone pleading that I list the 25 best ROLLING STONES songs from their lustrous career, in order. Oh sure, sometimes it's 22 and sometimes it's 27, but the cards and electronic mail keeps coming in, so I'm settling on a hand-selected top twenty-five for your consideration. I'm not a list dork, okay?
1. GIMME SHELTER
2. JIGSAW PUZZLE
3. LOVING CUP
4. STRAY CAT BLUES
5. CITADEL
6. SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
7. UNDER MY THUMB
8. SWEET VIRGINIA
9. ROCKS OFF
10. IT’S ALL OVER NOW
11. TUMBLING DICE
12. DEAR DOCTOR
13. SING THIS ALL TOGETHER
14. JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH
15. HAPPY
16. RIP THIS JOINT
17. (I CAN’T GET NO) SATISFACTION
18. YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
19. TORN AND FRAYED
20. SHE’S A RAINBOW
21. CONNECTION
22. SOUL SURVIVOR
23. OUT OF TIME
24. WHAT TO DO
25. SWAY
