[senorsheep]

Bleah, I hate going first. LOL

1.01 - You Can't Always Get What You Want (Let It Bleed, 1969)



I was this close to picking *that other song that has evolved into the consensus pick for best Rolling Stones song*, but I listened to that one on YouTube, and then this one, and YCAGWYW is still the one that gives me that flushed feeling you get when an awesome song blows you away.

Gonna be rough watching 18 songs go off the board before I can pick again...

[Lucky]

1.02 - Jumpin' Jack Flash (released as a single in 1968)

Supernatural Delta Blues, man.

And my all-time favorite cover...I saw Johnny on this tour.

[overkill94]

I know what I'm "supposed to" pick, but that song just doesn't do it for me. Dammit, I'm going with the song I picked in the Classic Rock draft because it's still my favorite Stones tune:

1.03 - Waiting on a Friend (1981, Tattoo You)

[johnnya24]

Choosing between 3 songs ... I discounted one because I picked it in the Classic Rock Draft (like Lucky).

I'm a sucker for basslines. Looked for some good live versions ... the original still the best.

1.04 Sympathy for the Devil

[Gregg]

1.05- Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xSGxoHI6D_Q

[DMT]

As expected, Johnny snags my pick, probably the first of many. Here's my #2.

1.06 Paint It Black (Aftermath, 1966)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Egt1Hq4wpE

Btw, this is annoying that all of the copies are embedding disabled.

[Mithrandir]

1.07 Gimme Shelter (Let it Bleed)

Choice is between two songs....one might make it back to me next round, this one probably won't..

The female vocal in the middle is so damn chilling.

[revo]

1.08....Angie (Goats Head Soup, 1973)



One of my all-time faves, even if I did want Sympathy for the Devil & Gimme Shelter with my first pick.

[Erik]

OK, fine, I'll take *that* song.

1.09 (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (Out of Our Heads, 1965)

One of the greatest rock riffs ever, even if it's been done to death in the intervening 45 years.

[Fresno Bob]

1.10 Honky Tonk Woman
2.01 Monkey Man

[Erik]

2.02 Tumbling Dice (Exile on Main Street, 1972)

The magnum opus of their magnum opus.

[revo]

2.03.....Happy (Exile on Main Street, 1972)




Yeah, passing over some more obvious classics, but this one is a tour de force.

[Mithrandir]

2.04 Bitch (Sticky Fingers)

Well since Revo took one of my choices for this round, I'm going with one of my all time favorites from the Stones, although probably not one of their top-tier "classics".

If this one doesn't get your blood pumping, you're dead
