Tough! Ruby Tuesday/Satisfaction/you can't always get what you want might supplant one of those, mood depending.

I see Sympathy For The Devil is a popular choice. I'm aware of the song but I've only heard it once or twice.

They were quite a versatile band and probably still are. Their styles included R&B (Little Red Rooster), ballads (Fool To Cry), disco lite (Miss You) and funk-rock (Undercover Of The Night).

Only one Stones song I’d choose
Ruby Tuesday

Beast of Burden
Tumbling Dice
Sway
Mixed Emotions
Get Off My Cloud (for now)

Gimme Shelter
Miss You
Streets of Love
Honky Tonk Woman
You Can't Always Get What You Want.

God I love their music!

Not quite Rolling Stones but Bill Wyman made one or two respectable solo singles in the early '80s. I wasn't that keen on 'Si Si Je Suis Un Rock Star' but I quite liked 'A New Fashion'.

Gimme Shelter
Miss You
Wild Horses
Angie
You Can’t Always Get What You Want

Best night of my life seeing them in a venue that held less than 5,000 people.

Waiting on a friend,

I quite like the

"2000 light years from home" from Satanic Majesties - their attempt on psychedelia

I’m such a huge Stones fan, it’s hard to narrow it down.

Reminds me of my student years and not necessarily in a good way. I don't revist them that often for that reason.

I wonder what Charlie Watts' favourite RS songs were ??

Ruby Tuesday (my divorce song)
Start Me Up
Satisfaction
Honky Tonk Woman
Jumping Jack Flash

I've been lucky enough to see them live twice, including sesing what turned out to be Charlie's last English show.

Rest in peace you musical genius of a gentleman.
