Rolling Stones: the 50 greatest songs, ranked by Mojo

17-06-2026

Next month the Rolling Stones will release their twenty-fifth studio album, “Foreign Tongues”. Ahead of the album's release, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood spoke exclusively to Mojo about making the record, the band's long history, the difficult times faced in recent years, and the reasons why the band often called the greatest rock'n'roll group in the world has no intention of stopping. In the meantime, the British magazine has drawn up a ranking of the 50 greatest Rolling Stones songs: a journey through youthful frustration, street riots, satanic evocations, reflections on getting older, and many other moments that have marked the history of the English band.
