"Under My Thumb". Can't get into their classics yet, but that song will always remind me of the awesome times I've had as a late teen (though there were very few of them). Something about the percussion and the guitar and Mick's singing. Awesome chemistry.

I always encourage nonbelievers to check out the London Years Singles Collection 3 disc box set. It covers the very beginning up to about 1969 - roughly the Brian Jones years. There's something really special about those recordings, not just in the songs but in the sound. I don't really care much for them post-Let it Bleed.

I absolutely love Satanic Majesties...they out Peppered Pepper on that one. Unlike Pepper it's more darker sounding. For me the first album that counts is Aftermath, and the only post-Some Girls albums that matter are Steel Wheels and Voodoo Lounge. Some gems in their catalogue (some have been mentioned already):

All of Satanic Majesties is out of this world - I rate this alongside Crazy world Of Arthur Brown and After Bathing At Baxter's as my knock-out Psych classics.
'Can You Hear Me Knocking', 'Sister Morphine' and 'Bitch' off Sticky Fingers
Most of 'Goats Head Soup' - especially '100 Years Ago'
'Fingerprint File' and 'Time Waits For No-one' off It's Only Rock and Roll.
'Heaven' and 'Hang Fire' off Tattoo You.
Like Dave said, that's for starters.........
I have odd faves from The Stones, at least compared to what my friends listen to - as well as their fathers.
I really enjoy some of the tracks that happened in collaboration between Jagger and Mick Taylor. 'Sway' from Sticky Fingers is just so beautiful. I always return to that one.
Then there's three off of Goats Head Soup, imo their best album. '100 Years ago', 'Can you hear the Music?' and the dizzying mantraing blues ride of 'Hide your Love'.
'Play with Fire' is another one I love to death. UHHH 'Citadel' and '2000 Light years from Home'
Lots of others, but that's just for starters.

My favourite The Rolling Stones' song , from my favourite album by them..
I think that of all these old & legendary Rock bands who are still in bussines, The Rolling Stones look the best in that image of "wheelchair rockers".
This is a footage from their concert in my hometown, 2007.

I actually like that song; not as a Stones song per se, but as a good disco-rock number.
