What are your dozen favourite tracks by the Rolling Stones?

[Dr.Cyclops]

I`ve always been partial to this classic Stones tune
The Rolling Stones - Out Of Time

[Hepcat]

That's a fabulous track from the Stones' very underrated Flowers LP.

I know my "dozen fave Stones songs" list is sorely lacking in rockers (which I love too, of course) but these just really stand out to me. In no particular order - other than perhaps to make a playlist:

1 Paint It Black 1966
2 The Singer, Not the Song 1965
3 Blue Turns To Grey 1965
4 Out Of Tears 1994
5 No Use In Crying 1981
6 I Am Waiting  1966
7 Slipping Away 1989
8 Blinded By Rainbows 1994
9 Moon Is Up 1994
10 Think I'm Going Mad 1984
11 Child of the Moon 1968
12 Thru and Thru 1994

(Love the Stones. Wish their ticket prices weren't so high.)

Interesting list!

[Nosferatu79]

Interesting list!

Thanks! I kinda thought of all the (released) songs that I really loved most, (including rockers) and then removed songs from that list (of about 55 songs) until I had only songs with the most captivating (to me) feeling to the music (including vocal melody). I know in looks like I just had a really sad day and then made the list (even though I left out their song "Sad Day"!) but my day was quite fine, and it was really just about what songs felt most magical to me.  Introspective songs are often more powerful to me, but maybe I should make a list of my 12 favorite Stones rockers next!

[Hepcat]

Sure! That'd be good to see.

Very happy they finally released that film, and with extra footage, too!

This two page feature ran in "Big Daddy" Roth magazine in 1964:







As you can see, it was the right query but Ed got the band wrong!

Here's a great "live" video rendition of Jumping Jack Flash from 1968. Watch it before ABKCO gets it deleted again:
