Title: Whats your favorite 1993-2018 Stones single?
Post by Paranoid Android on Feb 5^th, 2018 at 7:36pm

So...these last 25 years have been very much not like the first 25...
Can you pick your top 5 singles of the last quarter century?

This list includes all new music from VooDoo Lounge, forward, plus the covers from Stripped and Blue & Lonesome.

Also included are the "new" songs from the Exile reissue. No re-issued, remixes, or live versions (except Stripped) are listed.

Have fun and only pick FIVE.

I had to disqualify the Exile re-makes in my vote, though I'm not sure I should have. (Otherwise, "Plundered.") Some songs I did vote for were influenced by live performance and re-mixes.

YGMR
OOC
FTS
ASMB
JYF

Feel guilty now leaving off "Love is Strong."

Second rank:

LIS
PMS
OOT
IGW
RJ

That's a top ten pretty much representative of their strengths, though some non-singles from Blue & Lonesome would also make the cut.

Good poll! Thanks.

a single to me means "commercial hit potential" and that's "love is strong" hands down.

"anybody seen my baby" a good second but the rest on that list isn't single material imo.

Plundered of course is great but it's from the 70's...

I disagree...however, you are correct, that list is not a list of singles material...its a list of actual singles.

Bands/Record companies release albums...EPs...and singles with singles as stand-alone items to be purchased and considered for airplay.
The are released (because of their "commercial hit potential") with the hopes that they chart and carry overall album sales further once the album is actually released. That is why singles are often released a month or 2 BEFORE the album...to build up steam and anticipation for the entire album.

Plundered was released to carry sales of the Exile Reissue.

Having said that, There were 7 songs from Blue & Lonesome that were NOT released as singles, that did chart in the US, all due to the current music distribution/availability models (iTunes, Spotify, other electronic mediums) on the US Billboard Digital Blues Charts

Yeah well there is a reason for this! Any top 5 songs for me start with the lyrics and if they contain some horny sexy words from MICK's mouth, I automatically love it. Secondly, I prefer the faster tunes. :-* :D
