As much as I love Gimme shelter (which is quite a bit) the gospel vocals detract from its rock n roll ness imo, making it more rock than rock n roll. Also television taught me soldiers only had access to two songs during the Vietnam war - Gimme Shelter and Fortunate Son, and I have a hard time disassociating it from helicopter shots of rice fields.

Sympathy for the devil is definitely my favourite Stones song too (for fun here's the neptunes remix, which is the closest anyone has come to covering it well), but if it's not rockin' enough, how about Paint it black or Start me up?

I would like to have included links to all of those songs, but typing out the bbcode is a pain in the ass, we really need a URL button.
