I don’t think it’s a bad groove to start the record but at the same time it is one of the weaker songs on the album.

I don’t think so. I’ve heard that before so I’m sure I tried to find it but can’t really recall. Haven’t thought about it in a long while until now.

Hi again. I think Ventilator Blues is too low (Binky: high). But you knew I was going to say that.

When I clicked on this reply to krista, YouTube played an ad for: Not Our First Goat RodeoDr. Octopus said:
I'd count that as a double-whammy!
It also made me purdy paranoid about the YouTube ad algorithm ...

I actually love this (though most of the rest of the album is dreadful). The cutting, chunky blasts from Keith and all the different kinds of percussion going on really do it for me. I even took it in the Stones song draft I did (same site where I did the Beatles draft and the Neil draft).

I'm with the crowd on Midnight Rambler -- I'd have it much higher. Love its dynamics, especially live.

The Arlo Guthrie cover of Connection is surprisingly good. I first heard this version before the Stones' (my parents had this album): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfAqZaVh_nQ
I've always loved Live with Me, especially the Keith/Mick T. interplay.

Satanic Majesties really isn't my thing -- there's a reason why the Stones and Beatles sounded different and attracted different fans -- but 2000 Light Years is the one I keep returning to from that record. Fantastic use of mellotron.

That was probably under-ranked but it just never clicked for me for whatever reason.

Heartbreaker's a big one for me. Huge performances by Mick T. and Billy Preston. And the lyrics really hurt in this day and age.
I wonder if they titled it the way they did to avoid confusion with the Zeppelin song?

It would have made more sense, and caused less controversy, if “#####” had been titled “Love is a #####”. But controversy is what the Stones do.

I didn't really listen to GHS until I did my Stones song draft a few years ago*. This was a revelation. Some of Mick T.'s best work. Top 50 for me too -- but BECAUSE of the coda.
* - I never bought it because of its reputation. Oddly, it was one of the few non-classical albums -- and only Stones album -- my parents had. We never listened to it. I can only surmise that my dad bought it for my mom because she liked "Angie". The rest of it is certainly not their kind of music.

JJ Flash is higher for me, as is Monkey Man. Between that and the thing on the White Album, I guess I just like Monkey songs.

Coming Down Again is the musical manifestation of heroin. I am fascinated by it and would probably rank it where you did.

Torn and Frayed is one of my favorites from Exile, so you know that means it’s way up there for me.

Shine a Light and Waiting on a Friend — I love these so much but the catalog is so deep that I can’t say I’d definitely place them higher than you did.
The Waiting on a Friend video made a huge impact on me. I thought Start Me Up and Hang Fire were cartoonish, but this one was something I related to immediately. (I was 10 when the album came out and 11 when we got cable.)
At one of my most recent Phish shows, they ended with Shine a Light and it was exhilarating.

Didn’t think I’d see an Exile song that I thought you rated too high, but here we are with Sweet Virginia. I think it’s the closest thing there is to filler on that album.
I’m somewhere in between you and Wikkid on their country stuff. I think Faraway Eyes is funny but I’m not sure how I feel about it as a song.

Moonlight Mile is in my top 10. It’s unfathomably gorgeous.
Winter to me comes off as trying too hard to copy MM. I need to listen to it again.

Sway is a big one for me too. I thought they were singing “It’s just that needle I forgot to in its sway.” 
That makes zero sense, but no matter. They could sing the phone book along with this arrangement and it would still be amazing.

After further review, the ruling on the field stands. Good song, but too close in vibe to MM for me to appreciate it better.

Memo from Turner is very Dylan, down to some of the inflections in Mick's voice. I wouldn't want to hear a whole album of this sort of thing, but this track is neat.

Angie and Memory Motel in the top 15 -- bold choices, Cotton.
I told my Angie story earlier. I agree with wikkid on Motel -- it would have stood out more on a different album. It's nice but it again sounds like an attempt to replicate Mile, whose shimmering brilliance cannot be replicated.

Home stretch!
Wild Horses -- Lovely, and can be appreciated on so many levels. One of the few Stones songs you can play for your young children.
Ruby Tuesday -- I'm not big on most of the non-rockers pre-Beggars (ie, not really a fan of Jonesy/Lady Jane stuff), but this is probably the best of them. Like In My Life, though, it gets points deducted for soccer mom/yearbook quote overuse.
She's a Rainbow -- Aside from Charlie's drumming, nope.
Rocks Off -- You are right, it may be Stones-y-est Stones song there is. Perfect way to open a (more or less) perfect album.
Paint It Black -- Very dark for its time, and I love #### like that. And I like the use of the sitar here better than in any Beatle song where it was used. It's not showy, it does what it does and is an integral part of what makes the song what it is. Norwegian Wood would be the same song if the sitar part was played on guitar. Not the case here. And as I said in the Beatles thread, I find George's sitar songs overwhelming. Again, not the case here.
Sympathy for the Devil -- Voluminous amounts of words have been written about this song, so all I have to contribute is that I agree with your ranking.
Dead Flowers -- I wouldn't have it this high, but it's easily the Stones' best country song. So much fun, and yet so macabre.
Gimme Shelter -- My #1, as I mentioned in the jukebox draft thread. Very few songs have this much musical and emotional impact.
Satisfaction -- I mean, this took rock and roll to a whole new level. The guitar could now be used as a sonic weapon.
Can't You Hear Me Knocking -- Another big one for me. That coda may be my favorite musical passage in the Stones' entire catalog. It's so different from what they normally do, yet it fits so well. At my one live Stones show (2002 at the Vet in Philly), I was pumped when they played it, and extremely impressed at how well Ron Wood pulled off Mick T.'s parts.
Loving Cup -- Not my #1 or probably even in my top 25 but it's easy to see why it's so beloved. My history with this song is mostly through Phish, who has been covering it regularly in their live sets since 1993 (they started playing it to commemorate keyboardist Page McConnell finally being able to bring a grand piano on the road). Being in the middle of everything when the band and crowd releases "what a beautiful buzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!" is a hell of a thing. My two favorite Phish versions are intimately tied to the Stones themselves. One is when they played it on a late-night talk show that was doing a "tribute to the Stones" week. The other is when they covered Exile in its entirety for Halloween one year. Both times you could tell they were giving it something extra because of the significance of the occasion.
Thanks again for putting this together. I'll have more odds and ends as I make my way through the post-list comments.

one of the great musical miracles of the 60s was the two small-kit drummers who set it so we wouldnt forget it in so many areas of play

Keith and Charlie can double drum in heaven now. One lead, one rhythm.

Someone made the point on CNN that for most bands the rhythm section is the drums and bass, but with the Stones it was always Watts and Richards. I thought that was interesting.

If there is a Heaven, then by all accounts Charlie is there. But Keith Moon? I kind of get the feeling that he and John Bonham are elsewhere…

There is no heaven, okay, tim? Call it Talent Heaven or whatever you want. They're drumming there. In unison. And I'll get to see it. What's my talent? Oh ho, you name it!

Couple things...
My dad is a HUGE Beatles fan. So I grew up listening to more Beatles than Stones.....that said, I'll take the Stones, at their peak, in all their grit, every time over the Beatles. Sticky Fingers is in my top 5 albums of all time.....I love that the OP has Can't you hear me knockin at #2....it's prolly my #1. Sister Morphine is right up there for me, as well as Moonlight Mile......Wild Horses....my wife walked down the aisle to that one!

Poured one (out) for wikkid and MoCS. Listening to Goat's Head Soup right now and the "Angie" that wikkid so backhandedly complimented. Figured I'd read a bit and bump this thread.

Is that the song you were referring to in Tim’s 1973 thread?

Indeed. I figured it was around the approximate time of Goat's Head Soup. Just confirmed it on Google. I think Google is right, anyway.

We lost half the Musketeers in a couple of years. Hopefully otb_lifer and I are eating a lot of kale.

Just discovered this threat existed and can't wait to get into it. Looking at the list in the original post, I love seeing Dead Flowers, Loving Cup, and Can't You Hear Me Knocking near the top. Rip This Joint and Silver Train are a couple that caught my eye as being quite underrated on initial look, but the one travesty I saw was having Salt of the Earth so low. That would be Top 10 for me. Looking forward to getting into this more in upcoming days and reading everyone's comments.
Wow. Making my way through all the commentary and didn't notice this one when I first scanned the list. This is a shocker for me. I would have thought it was a stone cold lock for top 25 and imagined it would be Top 10. This has to be the "Penny Lane" of this list.
