December's Children (and Everybody's) - The Rolling Stones

Some Girls - Rolling Stones

The last truly great Stones Album (has it really been over 20 years?)

A top notch performance by Mick and Mick Taylor's guitar solo make this one. "Wild Horses" ranks as their 3rd best ballad, behind "Ruby Tuesday" and "Angie". "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" displays how the Stones can integrate so many ...
