The Rolling Stones

Any fans? :D

If so name your favorite song(s).

Mine would have to be Ruby Tuesday or Sympathy for the Devil.

paint it black is my favorite.

"Paint It Black" and "Sympathy of the Devil."

I'm so original.

^ Good songs though, cheif ;)

You Can't Always Get What You Want. Goddamn, is that a good song.

I hate this band. I don't care about their unnatural longevity, and only minimally care - indirectly - about their contributions to the music scene.

The Rolling Stones are cool, Paint it Black is there best and it has been my ringtone for ages. Gimmie Shelter is also very very cool! That being said I still think the Stones are sell outs.

Ah Gimme Shelter, that's one I forgot. Amazing song- listened to it all day yesterday.

And haha yeah can't argue about that. And I also find Mick Jagger to be one cruel individual. Case and point: During their 1969 concert in Altamont, The Hell's Angels "security" are beating up on some fans, and while the fans are screaming at Jagger to stop the madness, he starts dancing.

Paint it Black is the song that sold Guitar Hero III to me. :P

"Jumpin' Jack Flash" & "Sympathy For the Devil" are among my favorite classic rock songs.

But man, "Gimme Shelter" is amazing. My favorite war song by far.

I must be in the minority, but I think "Paint it Black" is kind of weak compared to most of their other catalog.

Yep, same here. :rolleyes2

Gimme Shelter. Merry Clayton actually strained her vocal chords during the recording which is why you can hear Jagger in the background yelling, "Yeah", right after she goes off pitch slightly.

Hearing her voice crack was a thing of beauty. Honestly, that made the song for me. There were the powerful chords in the background while she's screaming at the top of her lungs, and just wow.

I'm not really a fan, but I do like The Stones. Some of my favourite songs are: Paint it Black, Wild Horses and Sympathy for the Devil.

Other than songs that have been mentioned, I love "Start Me Up" for its beautifully dirty undertones...:)
