Heh .... I was just listening to some of my fave Stones song (beyond the "classics") on my iPhone.

Monkey Man
Little T&A
Dance
Just My Imagination
Sad Sad Sad
Mixed Emotions
Rock and a Hard Place
etc etc etc

Diane, you started to lose me with that Steel Wheels trio, but those first four are fantastic. I find the only tunes I go back to on Steel Wheels are Keith's gorgeous "Slipping Away" and the faux-60s baroque "Blinded By Love."

So when it comes to underplayed and ass-kicking, let me add:

Sway
Ventilator Blues
Luxury
Slave
She Said Yeah
Silver Train....I could go on for a while, ya know?

Yes, I am a bit of a Stones geek.

i've been listening to "Bitch" a lot lately - but a cover version by Bay Area Thrash Metal legends Exodus! it's actually an excellent version, with the Tower of Power horn section on there!

i played Jumpin' Jack Flash in a high school band and extended the ending so i could add every drum fill in the world that i knew! : )

i saw the Steel Wheels tour at Shea Stadium, with Living Colour opening up. i like a decent amount of old Stones tunes, but actually don't own any, as i'm not a huge fan of the band, but Jagger was amazing as a frontman.

[2] where in England are you? i toured pretty extensively throughout the UK and dated a girl from there, as well...

Great tracks!

Sway, Monkey Man, Let It Bleed, Live With Me, Stop Breaking Down...so many great non-singles Stones songs.

thelarmis, not a Charlie Watts fan? Stones i the Mick Taylor-era were a solid unit!
