[Questions]

Is it simply the greatest song ever written.

 

[Motogull]

No song is the greatest ever, but its up there alright.

Sorry that’s wrong, just plain wrong.

There is most certainly a greatest song ever, this is the tribute to it:

Is it simply the greatest song ever written.

It's very good of it's kind, but probably not the best ever written.

But different people like different things.

No.

 

[Superphil]

I believe there are better songs.

 

[dangull]

I have hope at the end of my life, that I may be greeted by someone else to be honest.

 

[Eric Potts]

It’s good , but it’s hardly up there with Saturday Night by Whitfield.

 

[Megazone]

Greatest ever song?

Why do we like to treat music as if it's a competition rather than an art?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Because he's probably pissed, and when you are pissed things become more absolute.

It's definitely a good song.. The best song ever written changes, depending on my mood.

 

[Shy Talk]

****ing love it!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Is it simply the greatest song ever written.

It’s certainly my favourite ever song.

Shirley you mean Whigfield!

Don’t understand how you could get that wrong to be honest, being the greatest and all that.

Great song but not IMO the greatest Stones song. Gimme Shelter any day.

 

[Megazone]

Great song but not IMO the greatest Stones song. Gimme Shelter any day.

Good track but the song doesn't match up to its intro. I love the intro but what follows doesn't do it justice IMO.

I'd still say 'Posh Spice is a slapper' is the greatest song of them all.

 

[studio150]

Great song but not IMO the greatest Stones song. Gimme Shelter any day.

And Satisfaction at 2 in best Stones songs before you get to sympathy. So a distant 3rd.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Great song but not IMO the greatest Stones song. Gimme Shelter any day.

Agreed.

 

[LowKarate]

What's with all the Questions Questions?

Exactly, mood and personal tastes means there is no definitive greatest song.

Street Fighting Man challenges Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil as the Stones greatest song for me.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Honky Tonk Woman, Brown Sugar, and others do more for me...... but each to their own. At least we agree that we like the Stones
