Top Ten Rolling Stones Songs

In honor of the Rolling Stones concert, I'm going to give you my top ten Rolling Stones songs. A little bit about the concert first: it was amazing and iconic in every way you can imagine. It's amazing to be able to say that I've seen them in concert. Also, their logo is basically my favorite thing in the world! They manipulated their logo to make some cool specialized merch for the Minnesota show (my show), which included loons and Gopher colors. Before the encore they even had a really cool Viking one that I caught a picture of. So, here is that pictures and some others, followed by my list!

The Rolling Stones Logo: Viking Version

Probably my favorite logo of the night; the dice rolled into the logos and then rolled back to dice

During Moonlight Mile I'm pretty sure

Keith Richards is my fav forever

My snapchat story and a faceless Mick Jagger; thought I was clever because of the tongues and their logo

Note: This list was a lot harder to make then I thought it would be. I don't think I released how many songs they actually had until I had to narrow them all down into the 10 best. I would not recommend doing this if you are bad at decisions (like me). All I'm saying is that it took forever and there are so many of their great songs that didn't make this list.

Top Ten Rolling Stones Songs

10. Black Limousine: This is from the album Tattoo You which was released in 1981, which was 18 years before I was born. That's pretty crazy to think about, especially because the songs just keep getting older from here on out. Anyway, I just really like this song. It can always bring a smile to my face. 

9. Little T&A: This is again from Tattoo You. I love this song. First: the comparison is between a girl and music, which is like the greatest thing ever because I can tell you right now that when I get a boyfriend or get married that he will be compared to music. Second: I feel like this song is very chill for a lack of a better word.

8.  Shine A Light: This is from the album Exile on Main Street (released 1972) and I listen to the track that was remastered in 2010. This song makes me smile and it has some of my all time favorite lyrics from The Rolling Stones.

7. Before They Make Me Run: The album is Some Days, released in 1978. This song I can hardcore jam to. Also, it reminds me of my aunt so it always makes me happy (because I love my aunt, duh.)

6. Some Girls: This is the title track of the album Some Days (1978). The lyrics to this one aren't my favorite thing in the world, but they are terrible. In fact, they were good enough to make the number 6 slot. However, I do have to say they basically made it this far because I just really like the beat.

5. You Can't Always Get What You Want: This is from the album Let It Bleed that was released in 1969. I have to say, the beginning of this song with the choir isn't my favorite thing in the world, but the rest of the song is amazing. Plus, the lyrics ring so true, because you can't always get what you want but you will always get what you need.

4. Moonlight Mile: The album is Sticky Fingers released in 1971. This is the slowest song that I have in this list, but I think it deserves its number four spot. This song almost makes me cry every time I hear it. I feel like it rings true and it shows the truth and pain of their lives when they wrote it. It's raw, in other words. 

3. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction: Album: Out of Our Heads, released 1965. Many people think this song is overplayed, but I think that is almost the beauty of it. You could play this song almost anyway and I can guarantee that at least one person will know the words, no matter what their age. I'm 16 and I can sing this loud and proud whenever I hear it play as background music in a store or a movie. Also, this song basically makes it impossible to NOT dance.

2. Sing This All Together: Album: Their Satanic Majesties Request, released 1967. This song hold a powerful message if you think about it. Why can't we just all sing together? Why does their have to be separation? I love this song for that and because it makes me want to dance.

1. Sympathy For the Devil: Album: Beggars Banquet, released 1968. This song is one of their biggest songs, but it is by far my favorite. I can remember this song playing in the background of some may Monopoly games in my childhood that we basically couldn't play unless this song was played. I grew up with this song and it makes me smile and laugh and sometimes cry, and that's why it got the number 1 space.
