Is there a riff more famous in all of Rock & Roll???

As a guitarist, Richards is mostly known for his innovative rhythm playing. In 2003 he was ranked 10th on Rolling Stone magazine's "Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"

    Keith is 66? He has to live another 600 and play "Sympathy for the Devil" at his 666th birthday party!

    Satanic humor aside, I'm glad Keith is still with us--his survival is legendary and inspiring. A great musician and an original spirit. An enduring icon! I hope the Stones tour in 2010.

    I have so many favorite songs--the Stones are the third most played band on my iPod and I own most of their albums. Rather than run through the mega-hits, I will name a couple gems which deserve more recognition:

    "Break the Spell"

    "Gomper" (No one ever mentions this song, but it's so gorgeous and unique--I could listen to it 24/7)

    "Had It with You"

    "Luxury"

    "Memory Motel"

    "This Place Is Empty"

    "Through the Lonely Nights"

    "Tops"

    "Walking the Dog"

    "Winter"

    I like Gimme Shelter. Keith Richards intro is classic, and Charlie Watts' timing on the cymbal crashes throughout are perfectly placed!

    Happy Birthday to a great guitarist and rock legend!

    Not my favorite, but Keith sings it and apropos to growing older.

    Happy Friday Punch.

    Man, that dude is a survivor. I think a bit of bonus birthday congratulations should be awarded to the Austrian children whose blood flows through his veins. (insert smile face) I'm not a giant Stones guy for my personal tastes, but Keith Richards is pretty darn awesome, and they are one of those bands that you just have to respect. Amazing what they've/he has accomplished.

    19th Nervous Breakdown is my favorite stones tune.
