So, I have to try and pick my favorite 20 out of the thousand songs they've recorded? That could take a while. I will say that Paint It Black is probably number one though.

 

Well I guess you could pick like 30 or 40 or 50!

Impossible for me to choose - could be any 20 from about 50 and ever changing.

 

Then list the 50!

Angie is number 1. After that, this is a Saturday morning "doing household paperwork" project.

 

So we can expect your well-ledgered list by tomorrow afternoon then!

Some great 80s numbers on there. I couldn't seem to fit them in through the 60s classics, but it's all great!

As with the Who, I'm not a huge fan of their early stuff. But the ones I do like, I love.

Since the 2002 Forty Licks 2CD compilation contains 20 songs per disc, I'm going to choose all 20 per each disc as my favourites, LOL.

 

Does anyone know if the ape on the cover of the GRRR! compilation is the same one in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey?

 

The Rolling Stones songs that Keith sings are also classics in some way.

 

'Happy' and 'Before They Make Me Run' are great.
