Thanks

I love everything about the song except the "woo-woo"'s. That ruins it for me and I rarely listen to it, even though I love the lyrics and Jagger's vocal delivery.

Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah"

Sorry! It's one of those irrational nails-on-chalkboard type of things for me. Gimme 'Gimme Shelter' any day of the week.

oh, you need shelter... lol

please allow me to introduce myself...

The original is ok but I think we can all agree that the song wasn't very good until the Neptunes fixed it with their definitive remix of the song.

Best song they ever recorded.

not a Stones fan. never heard the song. the title has always disturbed me

This is what the Stones were all about for me, this, Honky Tonk Woman, Midnight Rambler, Gimme Shelter and all of Exile On Main St.

What album is this on?

The first of Six essential Stones albums

1968 - Beggars Banquet

1969 - Let It Bleed

1971 - Sticky Fingers

1972 - Exile On Main Street

1973 - Goats Head Soup

1974 - It's Only Rock n Roll

I didn't reall like anything before BB and only a couple of singles after IORnR, namely Start Me Up and Miss You, bizzarely Honky Tonk Woman is not on an album,it's a reworking of the song Country Honk from Let It Bleed.

Apart from Beggars Banquet The Stones got way better when Mick Taylor joined, he just brought something extra to the table. Essensial viewing is the Ladies And Gentleman live dvd from the Exile tour, absoltely brilliant.

Just recently started getting into the Stones.

Bought Sticky Fingers first, which I enjoyed. Just recently got Let It Bleed which I'm still listening to at the moment.

What should I get next?

Exile On Main Street (Remastered 2 disc version, IMO their best)

Oops typo!

Aren't you forgetting Aftermath?

Surely of superior quality than GHS and Only Rn'R.

I never really liked the early stuff, Paint It Black, Satisfaction, Get Offa My Cloud, nah not for me. 68 -74 is where i'm at.

Great song, but it's just one of dozens and dozens of great songs from the Stones.

-Exile on Main Street, which, nowadays, isn't a "double" album anymore, lol,just think of it as a flawless 18 tracks CD...

-Beggars Banquet

-Some Girls

-Tattoo You

-Aftermath (american version)

-Now! (1965, -wicked album of blues/rock covers...and some excellent originals)

or even Undercover (1983), easily their last album with the "it" factor, very good...

my thoughts exactly

just one of many great songs on beggars banquet, if there was an argument as to who was best the beatles or the stones then this album settlles it imo.

I just don't like it. that doesn't mean it's a bad album. If Matty Jam likes Paint It Black i'm sure he'll like the album. just not for me.

That is hard for me to believe you've NEVER heard this song. Like the Stones or not, its been around too long not to hear it SOMEwhere.

This is one of those songs that never gets old imo. The Stones at their best.

Albumwise, Exile on Main St is their best.

i might have been playing in the background of a room i may have been in, but the fact that i can't identify it in a sonic lineup is, welll...the truth.

I've spent the past week listening to the Stones and beefing up my Stones' collection. I had Sympathy . . . on repeat several times.

Although musically, they are not as talented as my two favorite rock band (Zeppelin), they have a great catalog.

I really dig some of their lesser known cuts like these:
