LONDON, UK (R. Stones Fans/Mojo magazine) - The Rolling Stones have barely made a memorable track in the past 30 years - and that is the view of their fans.
Only a tiny handful of songs from that vast chunk of the band's 40-year life make it into a top 50 of the band's, greatest tunes compiled for a special edition of Mojo magazine.

Jumpin' Jack Flash - originally released 35 years ago - tops the list of the best Stones songs of all time.

Absolutely nothing appears on the list from the past 22 years - despite the band releasing a further five studio albums in that time.

The most recent is Start Me Up from 1981 which is at 15 in the list, and even that was written three years earlier. The song marked the last time the band even made it into the UK singles top 10.

Another song released that year, Waiting On A Friend, is at 40 in the Mojo list but similarly the tune dates back many years earlier. It was was an out-take from the 1972 album Goat's Head Soup.

An overwhelming majority of the songs in the top 50 - a total of 44 - come from the first 10 years of the band's recording career.

Editor of the Mojo Rolling Stones Special Edition, Marke Blake, said: "The '60s and '70s represent a golden age for The Rolling Stones. The band themselves tailor their live show towards songs from this era, and this has been picked up by the fans in the songs they've chosen.
"There are a fair number of album tracks in the list, but at the end of the day, it's the classic Stones singles that remain their best and certainly most popular work."

Thousands of votes were cast on the final 50 through leading fan websites.

The top three all come from the years 1968 and 1969. Runner-up Honky Tonk Women was the band's last number one in 1969, while third-placed Sympathy For The Devil was never released as a single, but was merely an album track on Beggars Banquet.
