Very hard question. 'Lies' is the only song that wouldnt be competing for a place in the top 3 or 4 for me (and its still a good song). Up there with Sticky Fingers as my 2nd favourite Stones album behind Exile, and Mick's absolute apex as a lyricist. It was also the first 'new' Stones album that came out after I became a fan, so it's a sentimental favourite.

If pushed I'd go for 'Beast of Burden'. 'Before They Make Me Run' and 'Miss You' run it close (the latter song's brilliance on record gets unjustly overlooked because it's been played to death - and badly - for the last couple of decades). And with 'Just My Imagination' the Stones not only produce one of their finest ever covers but manage something very unusual - taking an already classic song, completely reworking it and making their own very different classic.

Almost every song has little 'moments' that I absolutely love. Bill's walking bass in the middle eight of 'Miss You' (his finest moment on record), Charlie's mini-drum solo just before the final chorus of 'Whip', Mick and Keith's wonderful little interplay towards the end of 'Just My Imagination' ("she doesn't even know....." ("just my imagination")......."me" ), the solo on "Shattered" etc.

And that doesnt even mention 'Everything is Turning to Gold", one of the best Stones b-sides ever and one of the funkiest things they've ever done. The bit at the end of the guitar solo when the drums kick back in again is one of my favourite parts of any Stones song ever.

This was not that difficult for me.
I simply put myself in my 1978 frame of mind.
Stones could go toe to toe with punk and I was so proud.

My vote is Respectable!!!!

Well now we're respected in society
We don't worry about the things that we used to be
We're talking heroin with the president
Well it's a problem, sir, but it can't be bent
Uh yes!

Well now you're a pillar of society
You don't worry about the things that you used to be
You're a rag-trade girl, you're the queen of porn
You're the easiest lay on the White House lawn
Get out of my life, don't come back
Get out of my life, don't come back

She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so delectable
She's so respectable
Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
What I say!

She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so respectable
Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
Oh get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back

She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so delectable
She's so respectable
Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back...woo!
Get out of life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back, come back, hey

I have an original sleeve but I bought it years after the fact. I also have the pink vinyl version of Miss You.

I just came here to post the same song as my fave. I listened to SG all the way through and "Respectable" has more of what I love about the Stones. It was a tough decision, but that's what I came up with. Great minds and all that.
