Song of the Day: 'Under My Thumb' by the Rolling Stones


I have a blind spot when it comes to the Rolling Stones -- and to be honest, mostly of my own doing. I say mostly because I never go out of my way to learn about their music -- I'm the first one to put my hand up for John, Paul, George and Ringo when someone (inevitably) asks: "Beatles or Stones?" -- yet when "Under My Thumb" came on the other day it dawned on me that if I love it and didn't really even acknowledge it was by Mick & Co., who knows how many other gems they've recorded? (Recommendations welcome.)

Song of the Day: 'Gimme Shelter' by the Rolling Stones


This one, perhaps their best, reminds me of the end of an era -- a feeling that haunts me these days.

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?
