Exile on Main St. SONGS RANKED
I just recently listened to Exile on Main St. again and I decided to rank all the songs on the album! They are my all time favourite band too so why not? Just my opinion btw |
| 18 | The Rolling Stones
All Down the Line
I love the Stones but this song is a bore |
| 17 | Stop Breaking Down
The other cover of this album is just tiring to listen to at times. |
| 16 | Sweet Black Angel
Forgettable song |
| 15 | Sweet Virginia
Not a big fan of the country songs on the album but this is ok. |
| 14 | I Just Want to See His Face
The song that fades in after the amazing Ventilator Blues. It is more of a "loading screen" if you will but a good one. |
| 13 | Shake Your Hips
This is actually the song that got me into the Stones even though it was a cover xD. But looking back it wasn't that great of a song. |
| 12 | Casino Boogie
Great song overall and another perfect casino song xD |
| 11 | Turd on the Run
Replicates the energy on Rip this Joint and does an okay job. |
| 10 | Soul Survivor
Good closing track but not as good as the tracks below |
| 9 | Ventilator Blues
Mick Taylor's only songwriting credit on the album. The closing lyrics are awesome. |
| 8 | Rip This Joint
The fastest track on the album influences many hardcore bands. You can hear some influence :) |
| 7 | Torn and Frayed
The best country-influenced song on the album IMO. IIRC, it is about something that is damaged beyond repair and is left behind to rot. |
| 6 | Let It Loose
The longest song on the album delivers. The emotional riff at the start sets the mood perfectly. |
| 5 | Happy
My favourite Keith song other than "You Got The Silver". And the way the guitar switches the main riff with the horns on the track is amazing. It's hard to explain so just listen to the track. |
| 4 | Loving Cup
Mick Jagger delivers one of his best vocals on this track imo |
| 3 | Shine A Light
"May the good lord shine a light on you" Now I'm not religious at all but the first time I heard those lyrics, it gave me the chills. Amazing lyrics. |
| 2 | Tumbling Dice
The gospel influence is fantastic. I have no more words to describe it tbh. Perfect casino song too |
| 1 | Rocks Off
The opening riff is just amazing. Fantastic opener and this was my theme song in 9th grade LMAO! Just amazing. |
