Top 10 Rolling Stones Songs

Appropriately named by 'Q Magazine' as a band that must be seen by everyone at some point in his or her lifetime, The Rolling Stones are unarguably one of the most revolutionary bands of the last century. In playing a crucial role in the British Invasion, The Rolling Stones single-handedly defined an entire generation with their pioneering marriage of music, style, aesthetic, and attitude. Needless to say, AOL Radio listeners agree and have voted on the Top 10 Rolling Stones songs by Mick, Keith, and the rest of the gang.

10) 'It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (But I Like It)'

Did you know? In the liner notes to the 1993 compilation 'Jump Back' Mick Jagger says, "The idea of the song has to do with our public persona at the time. I was getting a bit tired of people having a go, all that, 'oh, it's not as good as their last one' business. The single sleeve had a picture of me with a pen digging into me as if it were a sword. It was a lighthearted, anti-journalistic sort of thing."

9) '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'

Did you know? In 2000, Britney Spears covered the song on her 'Oops...I Did it Again' album, but when "she found herself in an elevator with Mick Jagger, she had no idea who he was."

8) 'Start Me Up'

Did you know? Microsoft Corporation used the song in the Windows 95 marketing campaign, paying significantly less than the $14 million rumored.

7) 'Beast of Burden'

Did you know? Bette Midler covered the song on her 1983 'No Frills' album, but changed the lyrics from "Pretty, pretty, girls" to "My little sister is a pretty, pretty girl." Midler's music video featured Jagger playing Midler's boyfriend in a cameo role.

6) 'Paint It, Black'

Did you know? Keith Richards has said that the song was not intended to have a comma in its title, but that it was subsequently added by the record label.

5) 'Gimme Shelter'

Did you know? The song has become a signature theme in Martin Scorsese's gangster films including 'Goodfellas,' 'Casino,' and 'The Departed.'

4) 'Sympathy For The Devil'

Did you know? The lyrics refer to the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy. The Stones were in the middle of recording the song when Robert was killed, resulting in a lyric change form "Who killed Kennedy?" to "Who killed the Kennedys?"

3) 'Miss You'

Did you know? In 2002, this hit was included in the soundtrack for Austin Powers in Goldmember as a remix by hip-hop producer Dr. Dre.

2) 'Honky Tonk Women'

Did you know? The song was inspired by Brazilian gauchos at the ranch where Jagger and Richards were vacationing in late 1968. The song was originally written as an acoustic 1930s classic country song but the group decided to change it to the familiar riff-based, electric hit.

1) 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'

Did you know? Mick Jagger attributes the inspiration behind the song to Keith Richards' gardener, Jack Dyer, whom Richards referred to as "Jumpin' Jack."
