The original “Exile on Main Street” track is sprinkled with… whatever dust made that historic session go. Again, the Stones weren’t big on sentiment; they spit in the face of the reaper and keep on rollin’. Get Off of My Cloud Lyrics: 7. “See it come along/Don’t know where it’s from/Oh, yes, you will find out.” The narrator is explaining a moment of discovery that has yet to occur, something that we learn, via the second dive into the bridge, “will pierce our bones” with fear. Longtime associate Ian Stewart makes a welcome return to the keys, and the band lets it all hang out in classic Stones fashion. Yet another Stones track we take for granted.

This was the B-side to “Let’s Spend the Night Together”, and there’s quite the dispute as to who really wrote it. These are the best Songs in the World.

"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965) "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction)" is considered by most observers … According to Keith, like so much inspiration, it just “came out flying.” “I just found the tuning and the riff and started to swing it and Charlie picked up on it just like that, and we're thinking, hey, this is some groove.” The song’s middle section picks up with congas from Rocky Dijon and additional percussion courtesy of Jimmy Miller, but the real muscle comes from Billy Preston on the organ and Bobby Keys tearing it up on the saxophone.

So much cowbell. A great song doesn’t attempt to be anything — it just is. Jagger spills out his pain on the electric piano, and Keith’s guitar wails along with him. It’s a strangely tender song for the Stones.

The Stones flirted with psychedelia like the rest of their ‘60s peers, but it just wasn’t their bag. The fifth song on “Exile on Main St.” takes down the temperature after “Rocks Off”, and lets the band sink into a drunken groove that lasts for the rest of the LP. Another classic Stones track with two distinctly different versions. This is a classic “build” song that gradually introduces its sonic components before bringing them together in fiery harmony. I mention this because Scorsese has used the leadoff track to “Let It Bleed” in three movies, but the ultra-commercial director who’d give us “Home Alone” first used the LP recording in “Adventures in Babysitting”. Grrr! The special sauce here is Clydie King, Venetta Fields and Sherile Matthews; the Stones could strike a honky-tonk vibe here and there, but this is essentially the mission statement for the album. Don’t call it a comeback. I understand “Goats Head Soup” isn’t “Exile on Main St.”, but any album that contains “Angie”, “Starf***er”, “Coming Down Again” and this all-timer deserves a little more love than it typically receives.

The Beatles might've been the first band to make landfall in the 1960s British Invasion, but their prominence was immediately challenged by dozens of groups from across the pond eager to do it bigger and better than the Fab Four. It’s a shallow song all told, but it’s become a signature song for the band. “Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail.” Not a problem nowadays! There’s also no beating that piano intro from Nicky Hopkins, nor, for that matter, Brian Jones’s mellotron playing throughout the track. Brian Jones’s sitar opening is every bit as iconic as anything George Harrison did with the instrument. Sgt. It verily bursts with the randy, rebellious spirit of rock-and-roll. Bill Wyman’s ambling bass line gives the song its half-crocked charm. It’s pretty standard balladry, but there are some uncommon flourishes (particularly that ghost vocal track) that set it apart. We want to hear from you! That opening riff! The Stones didn’t get many singles out of this masterpiece, and it’s oddly understandable. This fairly vague and innocuous song about yearning turns into something special when the bridge hits. It seems to be a very personal song for Keith (who was writing about his girlfriend at the time), but Marianne Faithfull claims it was a collaboration between her and Brian Jones.

The long-running joke about Keith’s whiskey-and-cigarettes-scorched voice is that he can sing melody and harmony at the same time. “Undercover” is a baffling, overproduced album, but to the Stones’ credit they weren’t emulating anyone near as anybody could tell. This is a daunting task, but like a classic Stones track, it builds to a righteous conclusion. This is one of those Stones songs where you wonder if the uber-talented artist they were jamming with at the time doesn’t deserve a songwriting credit – because you can absolutely hear Gram Parsons on this song even if he didn’t play on the studio recording. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965) According to Rolling Stone, this is the second greatest rock … This is a straightforward, rough-and-ragged rocker bolstered by horns that seem to come out of nowhere.

Pour yourself a few fingers, and kick back for four sides of booze-soaked blues rock. A little outside inspiration never hurt. “I am just living to be lying by your side/But I’m just a moonlight mile down the road.” This lovely ballad about the enervating experience of touring is a lyric tour-de-force for Jagger. Think of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” by Queen. The track keeps building in intensity until the horns kick in and the revelries are renewed. The title provoked charges of Satanism, and Jagger’s first-person performance as Mephistopheles encouraged these surface readings, but it’s pure mischief. SOME GIRLS Live in Texas ‘78. The Stones let it get a little epic with Paul Buckmaster strings, but they resist the orchestral bombast to which David Bowie or Elton John would’ve gleefully succumbed. Jagger mostly collaborated with Leon Russell on the writing (and his influence is massively apparent), but the credit is still split with Richards. She’s So Cold Lyrics: 10. The song that launched a restaurant chain! This sounds like an outtake from the “Let It Bleed” or “Sticky Fingers”, which could be due to the session band (Ronnie Wood on the twelve-string, Willie Weeks on bass, Kenney Jones on drums and David Bowie providing background vocals) letting it all hang out on a one-time gig. A lot went down in between those records. It takes the emotions of a moment and holds it for years to come.

Okay, Ed Sullivan didn’t see it that way (the band performed the song as “Let’s Spend Some Time Together” on his show in 1967, replete with eye-rolling from Jagger), but the song is so timid in its deployment of double entendres (compared to previous Stones hits of that era) that you wonder what the fuss was about. The greatest side one/track one of all time. This latter discussion died with the advent of the compact disc, but when we were all spinning vinyl, this was an important sequencing conversation – and it was hard to top flipping over “Let It Bleed” to find “Midnight Rambler” waiting for you on the other side.

If you’ve ever been to a Stones show before, you know that nothing gets the crowd going like Keith stepping up to the microphone to blast out “Happy”. One of my 3 favorite songs of The Rolling Stones, with Satisfaction and Paint It Black. The lyrics are flowery nonsense, but at least the band sounds semi-sincere in their sentiment. It’s one of Keith’s best guitar riffs, and – between Wyman’s vibraphones, Hopkins’s and Jimmy Miller’s tambourine – a feast of instrumentation that never feels egregious. Bill Wyman conjures a James Jamerson vibe on the bass, which – along with Ian McLagen’s Wurlitzer piano, Mel Collins slippery tenor saxophone and Sugar Blue’s wailing harmonica – turns this into one of the bluesier funk tracks you’ll ever hear. The Rolling Stones weren't bigger than The Beatles in their prime, but they were certainly badder. Radio DJs loved to play this track into the fade so listeners heard at least one refrain of “You make a dead man come.”. “Is the whole album going to sound like this?” That was the question on every Stones fan’s mind when “Rocks Off” opened “Exile on Main St.” in all its muddy, unpolished glory.

The lyrics describe a funeral procession for someone close to Jagger (“I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black/With flowers and my love, both never to come back”), but there appears to be no specific, real-life inspiration for the song – which is amazing because it’s hard to think of a song more direct and shattering in expressing grief.

Or that, despite being one of the Stones’ most iconic hits, it never topped the Billboard Hot 100 because Christopher Cross’s “Arthur’s Theme” and Hall & Oates’ “Private Eyes” traded off at number one? The dean of rock-and-roll criticism, Robert Christgau, says it’s “so compelling that it discourages exegesis.” It’s hard to shrug off the first verse as mere nonsense, which is basically a “Mandingo”-like fantasy of a slaver having his way with chattel. Whether in response to the (then) recently released “Dirty Harry” or urban police brutality in general, this is a track that is crazy relevant today. Every “good girl” on the planet fell hard for that delectably nasty Mick Jagger via this seductive track in which a bad, bad boy warns/dares a young woman of means to keep her distance. The Stones were avid fans of 1930s blues guitarist Robert Johnson, who’s now renowned as the most influential Delta blues musician of his era. This track changed lives. You can’t fault the band for stretching on the mixed-bag LPs in between “Exile” and this, but it sure is nice to have the boys (Jagger, Richards, Wood, Wyman and Watts) doing what they do better than any band in rock-and-roll history. The Stones recorded it a year later and performed it during a set for “The Ed Sullivan Show”. When I’m writing a song that I know is going to work, it’s a feeling of euphoria.
