This list is a personal opinion. Therefore, any songs that were big and are low, doesn't mean they aren't famous, it means I don't enjoy them as much. PYN Below if you want to be tagged.

Title: Sympathy For The Devil
Album: Beggars Banquet
Year: 1968
This song has the greatest lyrics (ever?) of any stones song. Jagger was definitely stoned while writing this, but it doesn't matter! He put so much historical knowledge into this song. I bet when it came out, they thought it was a sin to listen to it. Yet, somehow as it deserved... it was MASSIVE. The band entered it's prime in 1968, and this was their hit that resonates for me in that year. They make us feel bad for the devil, and that he truly isn't a bad guy but, more of a man then we give him credit.
The guitar solo is also amazing, and tops almost any stone's solo. Richards dominates the guitar. As they say in freaky friday "play it like keith". This was the last full album with second guitarist Brian Jones. He will always be remembered in my heart.
The oo a woo vocal riff is also amazing, and ties the whole song together. This is a song that my dad cannot listen to, because of the excessive radio play, and him killing it as well. This song is no where near #1 in my opinion, but is a giant step above "brown sugar". The next blog will be directly after this.
