Stones shocker...
Published September 08, 2003
The dedicated fans may still flock to the live show, but according to a new
survey by MOJO magazine it's the old tracks they want to hear. Members of a
string of Stones fan websites were asked to vote for their favourite Stones
track of all time. Out of the Top 50, 44 come from the first ten years of
the band's forty-year career, and the newest track is 22 years old!
Marke Blake, editor of the Mojo Rolling Stones Special Edition told
reporters: "The '60s and '70s represent a golden age for The Rolling Stones.
The band themselves tailor their live show towards songs from this era, and
this has been picked up by the fans in the songs they've chosen. There are a
fair number of album tracks in the list, but at the end of the day, it's the
classic Stones singles that remain their best and certainly most popular
work."
'Jumpin' Jack Flash' - originally released 35 years ago - tops the list. The
most recent track in the chart is 'Start Me Up' from 1981 at 15.

If the Stones could be as good in THEIR 60's-80's as they were in THE 60's-80's, we'd have some great music to look forward to.

"Shocker?" Really?
The Stones were awesome from the 60'-80's. Can't say I can even name one song from them since. A lot of bands were part of that late 80's early 90's exodus. At least as far as the quality of their material goes.
I wouldn't want to hear new stuff from them if I saw them live today, I'd want to hear the classics. How old is Mick these days? He's got to be closing in on his sixties ... y/n?
