They're still not dead yet! 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!

If they'd have been singles

[koganbot]

I'd have ticked them if they'd been singles:

Definitely: "She Said Yeah," "Under My Thumb," "Stray Cat Blues," "Gimme Shelter"
Possibly: "Back Street Girl," "Route 66," "Midnight Rambler," "Play With Fire" (which might have gotten airplay as a B-side)
Would have wanted to but out of ticks: "Carol," "Complicated," "I'm All Right" (second live version), "Citadel," "Around and Around," "Sympathy For The Devil," "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love," "Talkin' About You," "Ventilator Blues," "Turd On The Run," "Dance," "Surprise Surprise," "Good Times," "Doncha Bother Me," "Think," "2000 Man," "Spider To The Fly," etc.

I can't believe 'Under My Thumb' wasn't a single, I genuinely thought that must be one of their biggest hits. In the glory days of the pub across the road from me I used to get smashed on 50p vodka shots and then stick it on repeat on the jukebox, no doubt helping to fund said pub's transformation into something that looks like a cross between a trendy wine bar (smooth black tables, pine flooring) and an Amsterdam brothel (red lights, leather seating) and which now has a huge canvas with the lyrics of 'Angels' by Robbie Williams above the formerly much-loved jukebox.
