Mick & Keef and the boys are still very much alive and kicking, despite the best efforts of various illicit pharmaceuticals, Mars Bars, Winnie The Pooh statues, Hells Angels, falling coconuts etc. Out of their 43 UK Top 40 hits, you get to pick your favourite FOURTEEN! Well go on then!

NB I only realised that Satisfaction was on the front page of Wikipedia after I'd typed out the poll! Spooky!

I ticked 14 sequential singles, which struck me as kind of extraordinary. I don't think Sympathy or Shelter were singles at all. They are my favourite rock band ever, and I could have ticked several more. They've not done much of interest in 30 years now, but their stuff before then is just about untouchable.
