Just too many to choose from.

Lots of good ones,

I like the really old stuff best; Little Red Rooster and all the real blues songs.
I liked Star Fucker a lot; a timeless sentiment.
Waiting on a Friend was the worst; way too gay for the Stones.

Same here grew up in the 80's more of a metal head myself but I still sing to "Waiting on a Friend" when I hear it. I think MTV played that video every two hours when it first camne out.

It’s always difficult to choose a favorite song by any artist(s), but one of my favorite Stones songs is “Happy”. I’ve always liked the guitar tracks. I think they have the quintessential, signature Stones sound of the ‘70s.

Courtesy of wiki:
"Happy" is the tenth track on The Rolling Stones' 1972 album Exile on Main St. Keith Richards sings lead vocals. Released as the second single from the album in July 1972, it reached #22 in the US.[1]
Credited to Jagger/Richards, "Happy" was written primarily by Richards in the summer of 1971, at the villa Nellcôte in southern France, over the course of a single afternoon. According to Richards, "We did that in an afternoon, in only four hours, cut and done. At noon it had never existed. At four o'clock it was on tape."[2] The basic tracks were recorded in the Nellcôte basement, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, with Richards on bass, guitar and vocals, producer Jimmy Miller on drums, and saxophonist Bobby Keys on maracas.[3] Piano by Nicky Hopkins was added later, as were Jim Price's trumpet, Keys' saxophone, Mick Taylor's guitar and the final vocal tracks, including Mick Jagger's backing vocals.[4]
Since 1972, Richards has often sung "Happy" in concert and it has become one of his "signature tunes."[3] Performances of the song through 1978 also featured Jagger's vocals during the chorus.
Concert renditions of the song appear on the albums Love You Live and Live Licks; the studio track has been released on the compilation albums Made in the Shade, Forty Licks and GRRR!.[5] And also on the concert box sets Four Flicks (2004) and The Biggest Bang (2007).

If you ever get a chance, go on YouTube and listen to other artists covering Stones songs. There's some good renditions. A couple that come to mind are Linda Ronstadt, "Tumbling Dice" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIpxLot2BNU and The Neville Brothers, "Love The One You're With/Can't Always Get What You Want" medley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXVEOAIvCdc

Ronstadt's cover incorporates a more Honky Tonk sound and feel to the piano chart and some heavily flanged drums. The Neville Brothers impart that cool swampy, 2nd Line New Orleans vibe to the Stephen Stills/Stones tunes.

It's All Over Now.

P.S. Interesting that no one (including me) said (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. Just to show you how illogically I can think, while It's All Over Now is my favorite Stones song, I would opine that Satisfaction is the best rock 'n' roll song ever recorded.
