I could have went on for far longer, tbh.

I was thinking of the non-singles, but even when you consider Satisfaction and Spend the Night, these are really just three-chord white boy blues songs with Fischer-Price level production.
Even the non-singles - hell, take your pick from any track on this album! Also, pretty sure that 'Let's Spend the Night Together' has more than three chords in it and isn't a blues.
The Jimmy Miller era records are good, of course, but that doesn't mean the 1965-1967 stuff isn't. If you're gonna tell me with a straight face that '2,000 Light Years From Home' is badly production then I'll show you a good bullshitter.

I like both "High and Dry" and "I Am Waiting" better than "Thumb." this album is ridiculously good

i went with “out of time” but it was out of total indecision. prob should’ve gone for “high and dry”

As with the early Beatles albums, the U.S. versions of the Stones albums are the ones I grew up with (courtesy of my dad's record collection), so this track list is all wrong to me. Aftermath is supposed to start with "Paint It Black"! Out of this bunch, I'll throw a vote to proto-punky "Stupid Girl," even though it is also awfully mean.

'Think' is a fave deep cut as well.

hard to choose but I had to go with 'Mothers Little Helper'. 'Lady Jane' would've been my second choice though. 'Under My Thumb' is great but for me it's tempered by hearing them continue to do it over the years, whereas 'Helper' is still sort of pure 60s psych-era in my mind, if that makes sense. I think Buttons (US tracklisting) is nearly as classic as 'Aftermath', though the production is a little underwhelming at times, and they left off this track which would've been a great closer after 'Amanda Jones':

I almost voted for "Lady Jane" (love that wonky E7 chord when it gets to "just heed this plea") and then "Out of Time." Finally pulled the trigger for MLH.
