Readers' Poll: The Rolling Stones' 10 Greatest Songs
Your picks include 'Wild Horses,' 'Tumbling Dice' and 'Paint It, Black'9. 'Tumbling Dice'
While Exile on Main St. may be the Rolling Stones' most famous album these days, it doesn't have very many actual hits on it. "Tumbling Dice" is the lone exception, and it's the only song from the LP that became a regular part of their setlist over the past 40 years. The song began under the title "Good Time Woman," but they weren't quite happy with subject matter, so Jagger wrote the new lyrics, possibly inspired by the casino games the band played in France while recording the album. "I don't think it's our best stuff," Jagger told Rolling Stone in 1995. "I don’t think it has good lyrics. But people seem to really like it, so good for them."
