.....is GREAT. Shoulda been on 40 Licks.
It's a classic Stones single, methinks.

I agree. I always have it in my MP3 player when I run. It's a great work out song. |

Yeah, but that omission is insignificant next to the omission of waiting on a friend. What the fuck were they thinking? |

A lot, like "God, why did we waste Sonny Rollins on a such a crappy song?"
Replace "Fool To Cry" with "One Hit (To The Body)", "Anybody Seen My Baby?" with "Saint Of Me", and we'd have an insanely stronger greatest hits collection, I think.

They got so many fucking Licks they don't know what do to with. |

I thought Waiting on a friend was a favorite among Stones fans, first time I've heard it being called a crappy song. I think it's quite a good lick, the BTB tour version of the song was one of the highlights of those shows to me.
In cd1 I would replace "The Last Time" with No Expectations and "It's all over now with "Midnight Rambler" |

Great song! Pretty hard-riff work!
Hey Savage, great idea. Saint of Me is far better than Anybody.... |

Great tune....... |

replacing megahits with songs that werent even singles, let alone hits defeats the purpose of a greatest hits retrospective. Midnight rambler's inclusion would mean leaving three songs out from the 1960's - when most of the band's singles were going to number one. Its a no-brainer. |

You're totally right gazza, I meant it in a personal way like my ideal compilation of Stones songs, not in the sense of a greatest hits compilation album, sorry about that . . . . |

No need to apologise..!!
we all have our personal favourites. "Midnight rambler" from "Ya yas" is probably my favourite ever Stones track. It just doesnt belong on a "hits" CD. they had enough problems fitting them on anyway and had to edit several songs.
But if my personal choices for "40 licks" had been used it would have been full of stuff like "Continental drift", "You cant catch me", "Slave", "Moonlight Mile" and "torn and frayed". I doubt it would have sold so well! |

Couldn't agree more with you

I would have liked to have seen TIME IS ON MY SIDE on CD1.
As for CD2? Only one new song (DON'T STOP) and WAITING ON A FRIEND, SHE'S SO COLD and (pick one of the two) ONE HIT or SHE WAS HOT.
Ah, well . . . ! |

" A lot, like "God, why did we waste Sonny Rollins on a such a crappy song?"
The legendary " Sonny Rollins' " inclusion on such tracks as " Slave " and " Waiting on a Friend " MADE " Tattoo You " what it is .......................the last great Rock and Roll album EVER made . Period !

40 Licks is clearly the unleaded version of Stones hits.
Maybe they are saving the real stuff for a rip-roaring live album.

One Hit is a amazing tune, great guitar riffs.
On Forty Licks is clearly missing bitch and anybody seen my baby sucks......and what's the deal with emotional rescue? is on all greatest hits compilations(jump back, forty licks)but it was never played live.....so..it's a hit(not for me) that they would never play on any tour?... |
