For me lately I've really been digging Connection (hell, the whole BtB album)...

What are some other obscure Stones tunes people on here really like?

You Cant Catch Me
Look What You Done
Confessin' The Blues
Child Of The Moon
Stop Breakin Down
Torn & Frayed
Ventilator Blues
Comin' Down Again
Memory Motel
Where The Boys Go
Feel On Baby (12' dub version)
If I Was A Dancer (Dance Pt 2)
Everything is Turning To Gold
Continental Drift
Almost Hear You Sigh
Anything from the 'Got Live If You Want It!" EP
Thats How Strong My Love Is (from the mostly mediocre 'Live Licks')
Laugh I Nearly Died
Dangerous Beauty

The definition of obscure for me is songs that people dont rave about much, so that rules out stuff like Winter, Let It Loose, Soul Survivor etc which seem to be big hardcore fan favourites. Plus, how 'obscure' can any songs be that are on compilations or multi-platinum albums like Some Girls, Tattoo You or Sticky Fingers?

Honourable mention - Learning the Game from Austin 2006 as released on the Biggest Bang DVD but never officially released on audio CD. Best performance by a mile of any song from the entire tour and the vocal of a lifetime by Keith.

By this Link (article on Black Box) it says Gene Pitney & includes other information on track listings.

I would pick That's How Strong My Love Is. I have always loved that oldie. Another is The Under Assistant West Coast Promo Man. Great riff.

ahh, this is great one!
those sessions caught mick at his most naked.....
i could list all that stuff.
what about "what gives you the right"
so many gems in those sessions.....the songs are not quite finished and complete, but they have a real resonance of jagger's state of mind at the end of his marriage to bianca.
excellent.

I've never put them all together before. I foresee a new playlist for the old iPod. Also need to bookmark nico's site.

Tell me Jesus, is Brian Jones up there with you? And is Keith on St. Peter's guest list?

I'm not sure if they fit your definition of obscure, but these songs are great and don't pop up in Stones MB discussions as often as they proably should :
100 years ago - great, strange and bewitching song
Ventilator Blues - although judging by this thread, it isn't that obscure!
Play with fire - I love the contrast between the "teenage" quality of the arrangement&Mick's voice, versus the super-threatening atmosphere of the song
