Rolling Stones

I don't know if I could pick one. There are too many great ongs.

 

You Can't Always Get What You Want

Let it Bleed is one of the albums on my list of what music I'd want with me on a deserted island.

 

I could have written this post. I'll toss in Let it Loose, used so well in The Departed. Exile was such a great album.

Others not yet listed:
Under My Thumb (probably my favorite as of now)
She's a Rainbow
Dear Doctor
Street Fighting Man
Salt of the Earth
Heartbreaker
Winter
Let It Bleed
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Bitch

 

Brown Sugar and Honky Tonk Woman were the songs I played most on the jukebox in our high school's cafeteria ('72-'76).

 

Also love "Heartbreaker (Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo)" and "100 Years Ago" from "Goat's Head's Soup," a supremely underrated batch of songs.

 

You celebrate their entire catalog

 

So many to choose from, but some of the ones that would top the list are:

Dead Flowers
Let It Bleed
Street Fighting Man
Happy
Bitch
Can't Always Get What You Want

 

Can't believe I forgot this one. I briefly - like two practices - tried to play bass in a band named "Dead Flowers." They had been around before in a prior incarnation. The other bass player sold me his bass. Unfortunately, he ended up dying a couple years later, in his early 20s sadly enough. We used to request "Dead Flowers" from our local bar band in his memory, and they'd always play it and dedicate it to him.

 

Honky Tonk Woman has one of the greatest lines ever written in rock music...

"I just can't seem to drink you off my mind."

 

Get Off of My Cloud would be the choice of my daughter, and she calls Mick the "Funny Acting Guy."

 

"Torn and Frayed"

"Sway"

Just about anything Mick Taylor played on. What the hell was that guy thinking when he walked away?

 

Actually, I'm one of those who wished they had retired 20 to 25 years ago.
But I am a huge fan. They are among my favorites.

I'm crazy for the Bob Dylan. After that, I've got the Dead and Stones in almost a dead heat.
