Ah, the eternal problem with song lists is that some bands, like the Stones, just don't do well here. Exile on Main Street is one of the greatest rock albums ever produced, but it is a great album, not necessarily a collection of great songs, and as a result is often not represented on lists like this.
They did create some great songs, however, and most of those are present here. You acheived a nice balance between 60s Stones and later Stones. Most lists focus on the former and miss some great tunes like Shattered. Great job!
Shalom, y'all!

Once again, thank you Les.
Just a few of my personel faves:
Rocks Off
Before They Make Me Run
Shake Your Hips
No Expectations
Live With Me
Break The Spell
One Hit to the Body
2000 Light Years
It's All Over Now
I would have added Angie, Wild Horses, Sister Morphine, Out Of Time, Sittin' On A Fence, Mother's Little Helper, plus Let It Loose and Rocks Off from Exile On Main Street.
My list would have Brown Sugar and Street Fighting Man much higher (near the top).
Great band - great list.
Its fucking hard to come up with an accurate Stones list. They have too many goodies.
