There could have been any number Stones tracks in this top 10. Satisfaction, Brown Sugar, Angie, Honky Tonk Women, Paint It Black and on and on.

Mick Jagger bursting out of your TV screen covered in American Indian warpaint singing ‘I was born in a cross-fire hurricane’ to a beat that doesn’t let up. No wonder parents across the land locked up their daughters.
