Sure, it would seem nearly impossible to select the 30 best songs released by the Rolling Stones during the band's legendary career. Why would one even try? Well, we did. Here's a chronological trip through the best songs (in our opinion) from the Stones, or least those that truly exemplify their collective greatness.
"Time Is on My Side" (1964) This was not a Stones original, but proved to be the group's introduction to music fans in the United States. In 1964, they recorded two versions of the track known for its reliance on flowing rhythm. The single became the band's first-ever top-10 hit in America , peaking at No.
6 on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart. It's also fun to see a certain sense of innocence, at least on the surface, to the band when watching old videos of the performance. "The Last Time" (1965) "Time Is on My Side" was the band's first top-10 hit in the States, but "The Last Time" was the first original Stones track released as an A-side in the United Kingdom.
As we'll see, the Rolling Stones were influenced by many types of musical genres. In this case, there is certainly a gospel feel to "The Last Time," but fused with the Stones' gritty brand of rock and roll. The Andrew Oldham Orchestra, a side project founded by the band's original manager Andrew Loog Oldham, was featured in the tune.
"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965) There are great rock songs. Then are iconic rock songs. Consider "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" part of the latter group.
Opening wit.
