4 Rolling Stones Songs Not Every Fan Knows (But Every Fan Should)

The article highlights four Rolling Stones songs that it argues deserve more attention alongside the band’s better-known hits: “No Expectations”, “Let It Bleed”, “Live With Me” and “Citadel”. It presents them as examples of the group’s range, from reflective songwriting to rough-edged rock and psychedelia.

“No Expectations” is linked to Brian Jones’s final period with the band and his slide guitar contribution; Mick Jagger later described it as the last time Jones was fully involved in a worthwhile project. “Let It Bleed” was the Stones’ first song to share its title with an album, released after Jones’s death in 1969. The article characterises “Live With Me” as brash and unpolished, while “Citadel”, from Their Satanic Majesties Request, evokes a strange, futuristic world.
