hey bud -
Gimmie Shelter
it is a staple of their live show, "Gimme Shelter" was placed #38 in the list of Rolling Stone Magazines 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004,
* The song is featured in the films Adventures in Babysitting (1987), Goodfellas (1990), The War (1994), Casino (1995), The Fan (1996), Layer Cake (2004), and The Departed (2006). A string version of the intro can be heard in the Children of Men (2006) trailer.
* "Gimme Shelter" featured in the 2005 MICF play Die On Your Feet (directed by and starring Australian comedian Greg Fleet) as both the opening and closing title.
* During Michelle's Landau's return to 'escorting' in "Dawn Budge", episode 5 of season 4 of Nip/Tuck, "Gimme Shelter" is played continuing into Sean and Julia's second wedding.
* Gimme Shelter is the name of Dr. Eggman's hideout in the Sonic Battle video game.
also, # Merry Clayton reportedly suffered a miscarriage due to the intensity of her performance on the song. [1]
# About three minutes into the song Clayton's voice cracks from the strain of her powerful singing. A second afterward an unknown voice is very faintly heard giving a cheering "wooo" of approval.
# Merry Clayton's name is misspelled on the album, appearing as 'Mary.' She was named Merry because she was born on Christmas Day, 1948.
# On the Let It Bleed album, the song is spelled "Gimmie Shelter". However, the second 'i' is omitted in the title of the movie, as well as in the song title on the Hot Rocks compilation and www.rollingstones.com, the band's official website.

They only have a few really good songs so it's not a hard choice.Either Paint it Black, Sympathy for the Devil or Waiting on a Friend...they have a ton of mediocre songs though.oh oh oh..and Gimme Shelter..yaya

On the album "Sticky Fingers", the song: CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING is great. Mick Taylor puts on the best guitar work on vinyl ! Jagger's vocals are tremendous.

Paint It Black, is my favorite. Like the words and the melody, and the beat, and it reminds me of high school.
