In a way, my favourite here may be "Mother's Little Helper" or maybe "Sympathy For The Devil". But I still feel I have to go for "Start Me Up" because it works so perfectly as an opener.

Whaidup!

Where's "Sing this all together" ?

Sorry, geir, this needs a restart!

I'm going for full challops here and voting "One Hit (To The Body)," for the way the acoustic guitar motif segues into full-on electric GA-GA-GA-GANG.

Strange that Geir would miss the opener on his favorite Stones album but the only answer to this (for me, anyway) is ROCKS OFF.

I can only hear the Primal Scream song, sorry.

"Rocks Off" over "Miss You" and "Brown Sugar".

― Euler, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 07:36 (fifteen years ago)

it's funny that geir didn't vote for start me up in the last poll, considering his confident and unchangeable opinions on everything

"Sympathy" over "Rocks Off" over "Gimme Shelter"

'rocks off' works best as an opener for me though
