Song of the Day: 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' by the Rolling Stones


Was discussing holes in music knowledge with my most musical friend, Christopher, at dinner the other night. He swears Miley Cyrus is a force to be reckoned with, but said you could drive a Mack truck through his Bob Dylan gap. I'm pretty bad on that count too, but would have to say I'm even more hopeless about Rolling Stones. That I know better makes it kinda worse -- HBO's "Crossfire Hurricane" really drove it home for me -- especially when I hear songs like this one. 

So tell me, RS fans: What's your favorite?

The whole Sticky Fingers album
Play With Fire
Rocks Off
Gimme Shelter


So many great songs, they had an incredible run from 1965 (Satisfaction) to 1972 (the Exile on Main Street album)

Tumbling Dice. But then the whole Exile album is my favorite.
