“Life” is probably the best rock autobiography of them all.

Dead flowers is a good one. It’s a good song along

The LIVE version of ‘Gimme Shelter’ (Amsterdam, 1995) with Lisa Fischer is seven kinds of awesome.

Midnight Rambler - from the live album.

“Sway” as well.

Sympathy for the devil

Dead flowers

Wild horses

You can always get what you want

Anything leading with a Keith Richard’s guitar intro. To me he sets the tone for the excitement of a stones song

My non rift references above are to recognize the ability of the band to go lower key but still capture you with their lyrics.

The Rollings Stones are a very good blues-based "garage style" rock and roll band. They are at their best when they are playing down and dirty blues-infused rock and roll.

Their best tracks are not what you hear on the radio.

"Rocks Off" from Exile on Main Street exemplifies this.

Can’t You Me Knocking. Probably one of the top 5 guitar intros.

She’s a Rainbow

Only because it sounds like a Beetles rip-off...

My favorite? Damn near every one of them. I don’t know how to pick a favorite. Just too hard. Maybe I can come up with my top 10 faves by the Stones, but just one? Not even gonna try.

A favorite is hard to pin down for me.

Back in the day I worked concerts with these guys numerous times. One of the most memorable was at Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, AZ, 1981. This was one location were the movie "Let's Spend the Night Together" was shot.


I think I cleaned out every helium tank in the Phoenix area to fill all those balloons...;O)

Opening of the show.
The Rolling Stones - Under My Thumb LIVE Arizona '81

Around 100 women were hired to dance to Honky Tonk Women.

Lot of work but a lot fun.

I would guess, for them, it is Happy Birthday.
