Sympathy For The Devil vs. Paint it Black vs. Gimme Shelter


My top 3 Stones songs. Which do you think is best?

Paint It Black for me, but it’s close.

I'm not trying to be that guy but almost every song listed in this thread is an FM radio staple that has been played to death. I don't really need to hear any of them again in my lifetime, no matter how objectively good they are.

I'm more drawn to stuff that hasn't worn out its welcome, either the pre-golden era, cover-heavy albums, or songs like "Sway", "Torn and Frayed", "Winter", and "Citadel". Of the Ronnie Wood era, I'm partial to songs like "Heaven" and even guilty pleasures like "Almost Hear You Sigh".
