Jamming & Wanted DorA might make top 50 somewhere. Now for the list that truly matters…my top 10 Rolling Stones songs (in no particular order)
Tumbing Dice
Shattered
Can’t You Hear Me Knocking
Beast of Burden
Loving Cup
Angie
Brown Sugar
Star Star
Gimme Shelter
I Got the Blues
HONORABLE MENTION
I Am Waiting
Sympathy for the Devil

I’d have to say, if I incorporated these 10 into my all time top 10, 7-8 of these Stones songs would make it.
As for Fuzz’s list…only Thunder Road is close to mine. Jamming & Wanted DorA might make top 50 somewhere.

Reading this list is like peeling a ripe onion. Eyes full of tears and the further I get the tougher it is to look at it. Annies Song? Closer to Fine? Home Sweet Home? Subdivisions? Summer of '69? You've gotta be kidding me. About the only with credence would be Born to Run, The Boxer, and maybe Wanted Dead or Alive would sneak in the top 25. I don't know if I'll be able to handle the Top 10. If I get time, I'll show you a REAL group of classic tunes. I know...not BEST but FAVORITE...but favorite oughta show some degree of good musical taste. Shaming the family musical name....
