it’s only rock and roll but they like it
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
Rolling Stone songs for this list we’ve
chosen our entries based on a
combination of the artists fan favorites
and their most Marshallese successful
songs
number ten honky tonk women
inspired by the Brazilian equivalent of
the North American cowboy Mick Jagger
and Keith Richards penned this hard rock
track that was released in the UK a day
after Bryan Jones death
with its cowbell driven beat
the three-minute track topped both the
British and US charts though a
honky-tonk version up this song was also
recorded it’s the Blues influence 7-inch
single with its amped up riff bass sound
that’s got us
and we’re not brown sugar
though it’s lewd and crude lyrics
initially made waves it’s not the only
thing that made sticky-fingers lead
single top American charts
the hard rock number featured horns
blues rock riffs and a groovy rhythm
that just makes you want to dance
you
despite its down-and-dirty sound or
perhaps because of it brown sugar also
went to number two in the UK
and found a home on classic rock radio
number eight wild horses Wow
and track me
with its roots folk and country rock
influences
this sticky-fingers tune is an emotional
and thoughtful ballad that demonstrates
the stones softer side with Richards
writing the riff and chorus line and
Jagger handling the verses it’s also a
fine example of the two musicians
songwriting talents so let’s do some
live a
charting within the Billboard Hot 100
top 30
wild horses is a popular concert track
it’s also spawned multiple covers
number seven
tumbling does
the
with eNOS Stewart’s piano playing on
full display and a choir complimenting
Jagger’s vocals this rock and single is
one of the highlights for the Stones
Exile on Main Street double album
we’re counting the unfaithful ways of a
gambling man tumbling dice has a
laid-back roof thanks to its bluesy
boogie-woogie style but the top 10 smash
also stands out for its trademark guitar
figure and Colin responds conclusion
you
number six start me up
the stones went through dozens of takes
including a reggae rock number before
they came up with the hard rocking vibe
of the tune that became tattoo used lead
single
opening with a now well-known Richard
rip start me up keeps our attention with
a thumping rhythm generated by Charlie
Watts drumming and Bill Wyman’s bass
No
add Jagger’s competent vocals and the
stones had another top 10 on the US and
UK charts
number five you can’t always get what
you want
after the angelic voices of the London
Bach choir pull you into this let it
bleed single some soft guitar and
jaggers poignant vocals keep you
captivated to the demonstration by
mixing rock and gospel and adding French
horn
the stones showed they weren’t afraid to
change things up it’s relatable lyrics
also help the song become a staple at
the band’s live sets and in pop culture
and sometimes we’re just my you can buy
number four paint it black I see my
little and I want it changed
thanks to Jones sitar riff you’d be
hard-pressed to find many classic
rockers who don’t love this raga rock
and psychedelic rock number
by incorporating Indian influences to
their sound the stones proved they
weren’t a one-note back
fans and critics were so mesmerized by
its dark and haunting atmosphere that
painted black topped both the US and UK
charts
it’s also become one of the stones most
covered songs
number three sympathy for the devil me
dude
bolstered by maracas and congas this
rocker off Beggars Banquet hypnotized
critics and audiences with its samba
inspired group
but it’s Jagger’s menacing vocals that
truly bring this six minute plus song
narrated from Lucifer’s point of view to
life the band’s performance was so
convincing that the stones were later
accused of being devil worshipers
ha
regardless sympathy for the devil
remains one of their most loved tracks
number two Gimme Shelter
and by Jagger and Richards the opener to
let it bleed combines all the band’s
musical talents to create an apocalyptic
number that’s simply unforgettable
bolstered by watts and women’s rhythm
section Gimme Shelter also boasts a
unique and carefully crafted mood it
chills us to the bone
but remains true to the Rolling Stones
sound
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
Wow
ah
got to bail on
number one I can’t get no satisfaction
if Richards hadn’t conceived this song’s
now-famous rip in a dream we may never
have had one of the most recognizable
and satisfactory riffs in rock history
Richard’s teamed up with Jagger to
compose this rock-and-roller and it
quickly became the band’s first American
chart topper
satisfaction didn’t only propel the
stones to monstrous success but also
continues to earn critical acclaim and
is often touted as one of the greatest
songs ever
