Title: A new Stoner....can you help?
Post by Gazgow on Apr 18^th, 2008 at 10:27am

Hi guys....

OK, I'm hoping for a bit of help here. I have to admit to not being a huge Stones fan. BUT, just recently have heard some of their less commercial stuff which I've liked, and liked a lot!

I'm blushing [smiley=embarassed.gif] right now at the fact that I do not own a Stones album, so....

....what I'd like to know from all you officenados out there is the best 10 to 20 tracks that sum up the Stones that I can download, add to, enjoy, and generally get the feel of their music.

I do know the obvious tracks, JJ Flash etc etc, but I know there is more to appreciate.

So over to you...hope you can help....cheers,

Gaz.

War horses are great ==> :warhorse

Best warhorses are Sympathy for the Devil, You can't always get what you want, Gimme Shelter, JJF, Tumbling Dice and Brown Sugar

To help you with the "less commercial stuff" let us know if it's blues, rock, country, reggae, ballad or what, there's a lot of great songs that never made in on the charts

Sister Morphine
You got the Silver
Salt of the Earth
Loving cup
Torn and Frayed
Monkey Man
Sway

Only touched the the late 60's early 70's and left a loOOoot of good stuff out... But this list would get way to long if I would dig any deeper .... I'll let someone else mention a couple of good once ;)

go out and grab a copy of 'hot rocks' and the other one called 'more hot rocks and fazed cookies' these are greatest hits cds but they're a good bang for you buck...lots of tunes. and also get yourself a copy 'exile on main street.....this one is a killer.

:willya

I'd go for 40 licks as a very good intro to the Stones.

Agreed...a great starting place.

I even gave 4 Flicks to a few friends at Christmas...to show them the band can still rock on live...best $5.99 i spent for gifts in a long time

She's So Cold.

Jumping Jack Flash live 1969.

That's all you need to get started.

If you don't like those, I'm very sorry.

You should get the CD Sticky Fingers, it's classic Stones and it features Mick Taylor very nicely.
