So tough this, listened to both and decided if I could only listen to one for the rest of my life it would be Gimme Shelter..It is just more entertaining as a song imho. Jaggers voice fits perfectly, the woman's voice whose name I forget is just right. Love the lyrics and the overall atmospheric sound is brilliant.

Oh and finally

The guitar work is just so fucking fantastic.

sh*t, you've sold it to me.

Covering his back. He can then say; "look peeps, I voted for someone other than the tuneless one".

I voted for The Beatles but wow was this tough. I’ve always found A Day In The Life so haunting — it’s just unique in that regard. No other song gives me quite the same feeling. That said, Gimme Shelter is absolutely a top Stones tune. But it isn’t “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking”, so The Beatles win. Two titans!

A more tuneless one.

A more tuneless one.

That's not possible. Two cats shagging in your back garden at 3 in the morning are more melodious.

So hear is my guess as to who has what song.
No way has Bill or FogSF picked The Smiths so I'm going for
Benny Boy Stones and Smiths
Bill The Beatles
FogSF S&G

For a Mancunian twist on this round, I urge you all to listen to The Fall's version of A Day In The Life as well as Inspiral Carpets version of Gimme Shelter
