A new Stoner....can you help?
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

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 ==> War horses couldn't drag me away

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

actually, all you really need is the voodoopug's cover of "don't stop".
