Whacha got?
Totally knew that one - is from the soundtrack of my youth (not contemporary though)
I know most here prefer their 70s output but I also like what Jones brought to those 60s tunes.Big Brian Jones fan. I like their psychadelic move with Their Satanic Majesties Request more than most:
2000 Light Years From Home
I prefer the 60s Stones to any other vintage.I know most here prefer their 70s output but I also like what Jones brought to those 60s tunes.
Almost listed this as one of my top 3 in the other thread.Big Brian Jones fan. I like their psychadelic move with Their Satanic Majesties Request more than most:

Black & Blue is one of my go-to Stones albums.
Agree. At this point it's deeper cuts or stuff that hasn't been played a billion times.There is no Rolling Stones song that no one knows.
That reminds me - Hand of Fate belongs in this thread too.Eephus said:Black & Blue is one of my go-to Stones albums.
By the way, you were correct, the Stones also did a version of Memo From Turner - forgot about the Metamorphosis album that had some B sides and alternate takes.
If we’re going the solo route, I thought Mick had a good ‘90s tune with Don’t Tear Me Up.Take It So Hard from Keith's first solo record is a good one.
I’m a sucker for country MickNot really one that no one knows, but I've always loved "Far Away Eyes"
I do love that old habits trackMick's solo catalog is pretty dismal stuff. I'm sure his failure to produce a hit bothers him as he relaxes on his yacht. His US and UK top tens singles were all collaborations with The Jacksons, Bowie and will.i.am.
His albums probably have an unknown gem or two but his singles are like listening to a history of production gimmicks. He seemed intent on running away from the Stones legacy in favor of whatever sound was trendy. I gave up on him after Super Heavy--ain't nobody coming back from that.
One song of Mick's that I like is Old Habits Die Hard from the Alfie soundtrack. It's very middle of the roadish but he's still a great singer when he just sings the words. It does go on for one chorus too long IMO but I guess the movie had a lot of credits.
His solo stuff is mostly dreadful. You're right in that he comes across as the old dad still trying to be hip instead of being himself - which probably is why there's friction between Mick and Keith often on the direction of the Stones.Mick's solo catalog is pretty dismal stuff.

a few more:Their two most recent entries, I think, are most recent, are actually awesome and I spin them a lot, Doom and Gloom and One more Shot.
Along these lines, I've been meaning to make a playlist/mixtape/best of of the Stones from 94 to present day.
They obvioulsy fell off consistency wise, but I think if you took their best 10-12 tracks you'd have a real nice album:
You've Got me Rocking
Love is Strong
Out of Tears
I Go Wild
Like a Rolling Stone
Saint of Me
Anybody Seen My Baby
Rough Justice
Doom and Gloom
One More Shot
Was going to post this too - Tattoo You was such a good album. Exile on Main Street is my favorite Stones album though and has some great lesser known (if there is such a thing) tracks.
