As before, you can only pick one.  NO EXCEPTIONS.

I say Paint it Black.

Hmm, that's a tough one.

I'll go with Sympathy for the Devil.

I can't regain the impact it had on me when I first heard it back in the day.  It seemed so evil and raunchy to me back then.

Also, it kicks off my favorite Stones album.

Ooh, I have a good story about "Sympathy."  When my band cut one of our EPs, we had an "album release party" at our house.  Keg of beer, play the tape at 10 (exactly one person bothered to listen to it), then we did an acoustic set at 11.  We did two of our songs, and then we did "Sympathy," with the bassist on guitar (our guitarist was out of town, wasn't even there), the drummer on bongos, and me singing the lyrics off a piece of paper (I was familiar enough with the song, but didn't have the words memorized).

One of my absolute favorite memories of my time as a musician:  singing "GUESS MY NAME!" as loud as I could (no microphone) in the basement of our house, with fifty people jumping up and down and singing "WHOO HOOOOO!"

Mr Trout, I love you.

I really really love "Miss You," because I am a sucker for songs about being lonely, and walking around alone late at night and not knowing why.

I could never do the beatles one, but this is easy.  Yesterday's Papers.  I could listen to early Stones forever.

I'm going to be Mr. Boring Mainstream guy and say Jumping Jack Flash. Probably just because it was one of the first Stones songs I heard but none of their other tracks quite grab me by the shoulders and say 'GET THE HELL UP. A PARTY IS HAPPENING.'

I was going to say "Sympathy for the Devil," but then August reminded me of "Paint it Black" and I realized that SftD isn't better, just better known.
