   Having a "discussion" in the office about the best one - I am going with Gimme Shelter but the guy next to me says there isn't enough umph to it & prefers the Thunder version, he has a preference for Sympathy.

   All brought on by hearing the new one on the Ken Bruce show

   When sober, Sympathy.

   When drunk, Brown Sugar. I love to leap around to songs about heroin..!

   How can a band produce so much quality work, then overnight lose all apparent musical ability and go on to produce relentless, unfettered garbage?

   Oh... and either BTW

    Gimme Shelter

    Not just the best Stones track, but one of the best tracks of all time.

    Gimme Shelter, but occasionally I'll say Can't You Hear Me Knockin' has a bit more to it.

    I did like the new one, "No Spare Parts" although very much like "Can't always get what you want" but if asked (I wasn't) I would have said 1970ish, not 2011

    Bitch, Live With Me, Tumbling Dice, Ventilator Blues etc - Christ, when the Stones were on it they were really on it.

    Walking alone at night or coming into an empty flat after a hard day, can't beat Sister Morphine

    Misogynistic maybe, but Under My Thumb is a cool track.

    Gimme Shelter is immense. The intro gives me goosebumps
    19th Nervous Breakdown is another favourite.

    Sympathy for the Devil. Those guitar solos never get old.
    Gimme Shelter is just as great though. Can't choose.

    Hate to agree with someone stupid enough to prefer(s) the Thunder version

    my god, I agree with TJ?! ...

    although to be fair, arent all of the above tracks just amazing?
    ive got the Stones embedding deep in my soul...even got this lot signed up to play at my wedding next year! :

    If pushed, and I had to choose one above JJF... Midnight Rambler (live). The solo is like liquid ecstasy.
