Coincidentally, "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," "Sweet Virginia" and "You Got the Silver" are my three all-time favorite Stones songs.

I was thinking more like (more of a fun song that I like) Dear Doctor.

Great nonsensical, yet reassuringly sleazy lyrics from Mick:
I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic

I think GoodFellas pushed Monkey Man into the mainstream.
Citadel and Let It Bleed were both mentioned, they're right at the top of my list. Also like their cover version of Love In Vain. The Worst from Voodoo Lounge is a personal fave.

That being said, Monkey Man, Let It Bleed, You Got The Silver, 2000 Man (done extremely well by Kiss), Dear Doctor, The Spider and The Fly (a favorite of a co-worker of mine) make my list. Lastly, Love in Vain is the best version of Robert Johnson song not done by Robert Johnson. I can't even begin to explain how fantastic that version of the song is, and it ranks #2 on my list of favorite Stones songs (#1 being Sympathy for the Devil).

Although technically this does not meet the definition this is a pretty obscure find and a damn good listen:
The Andrew Oldham Orchestra - The Rolling Stone Songbook
http://www.amazon.com/Rolling-Stones.../dp/B0001RVTXE
That album is where The Verve got the sample for "Bittersweet Symphony".
