The best Stones songs of all time

About this video

The band talks about the tracks chosen for the 2002 compilation. Charlie feels like he’s back at school listening to songs not heard in forty years, Keith continues to find new elements in Satisfaction after nearly four decades of playing the song, and Mick talks about the evolution of Sympathy for the Devil.

Find out about Ronnie trading licks with Keith, understand how they weave their guitar sounds together and learn how Start Me Up began life as a reggae track. And did you know that Jumping Jack was the name of Keith’s gardener? You do now.

Finally, witness the band recording Don’t Stop with Don Was in Paris, and Mic's telling observation on the normally ephemeral life of a rock and roll band: “Popular music is supposed to be encapsulated in a time…if it lasts forever, it’s accidental”.

Some accident. Time, it seems, really has been on The Stones' side.
