The Rolling Stones song 'Gimme Shelter' is the band's best song according to fellow musicians in a survey carried out for the British music magazine Uncut.
Uncut's Editor, Allan Jones, said that apart from The Beatles and Bob Dylan, no other act in the history of rock had left its signature on such a significant era as the Stones and that their music speaks just as loudly today as when it was first heard.
The magazine's survey questioned 100 musicians including Bob Geldof, Marc Almond and Mick Hucknall about their favourite Rolling Stones songs.
They were generally unimpressed by the band's output over the past three decades, preferring songs recorded before 1972.
'Gimme Shelter', recorded in 1969, tops the list of ten and is also Mick Jagger's own favourite from the band's four-decade career.
Others on the list include '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' and 'Paint It Black'.
