✅ The Rolling Stones' Greatest Songs lists

Post by Daniel »

Rolling Stone magazine recently published a special issue of The Rolling Stones featuring a list of their 100 greatest songs.

It is quite fascinating that with the lists that RS compiled of the top 100 songs for the Stones and the Beatles and their list of the Top 40 Led Zepelin songs, their #1 picks for each artist was different than each group's highest-ranking song in RS's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (where the Beatles' highest entry was "Hey Jude" rather than "A Day in the Life," Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" outranked "Whole Lotta Love," and the Stones' highest entry was "Satisfaction"). It seems the only artist whose #1 song was the same on both their individual list and the all time top 500 was Bob Dylan's indisputable "Like a Rolling Stone." Although I suppose it would be odd to name it the #1 song of all time, and not the #1 Dylan song of all time?

Here is the Rolling Stones songs list:
1. Gimme Shelter
2. (I Can't Get No Satisfaction)
3. Sympathy for the Devil
4. Street Fighting Man
5. You Can't Always Get What You Want
6. Paint It, Black
7. Jumpin' Jack Flash
8. Brown Sugar
9. Wild Horses
10. Under My Thumb
11. Honky Tonk Women
12. Get Off of My Cloud
13. Midnight Rambler
14. Let's Spend the Night Together
15. Miss You
16. Beast of Burden
17. Can't You Hear Me Knocking
18. 19th Nervous Breakdown
19. Ruby Tuesday
20. Sway
21. Rocks Off
22. Moonlight Mile
23. The Last Time
24. Tumbling Dice
25. Time Is on My Side
26. Shattered
27. It's All Over Now
28. As Tears Go By
29. Start Me Up
