This list is a personal opinion. Therefore, any songs that were big and are low, doesn't mean they aren't famous, it means I don't enjoy them as much. PYN Below if you want to be tagged.

Title: Gimme Shelter
Album: Let It Bleed
Year: 1969
I have a list of my favourite songs of all time lying around, that i continuously add to until i reach 100, and make a podcast about it. This is a sure fire top 10. I think this might be my favourite song ever? Goodness gracious this is so fucking good.
A list that this is the best at
- Best Duet
- Best Apocalyptic Song
- Best Cross Genre Song
- Might Be The Greatest Song Ever
This is just incredible. I researched about the woman who sang with jagger in the song, and how she even got the gig is crazy. Her voice is like no other, and perfectly compliments his. She wails "rape, murder, it's just a shot away", like its the apocalypse, which in the end is what the song's about. This is all possible in just one shot. Which sums up tengaged's debate today, about gun control. We can kill anyone, with just 1 shot. This song gives me shivers on the first effing beat.
The little nuances of the song is great, with the guitar breaks and ending, drums here and there and great bass. Along with the duet of Jagger, Merry Clayton (the lady singing), ending with screaming "it's just a kiss away" to finish off this very long list. Hope it was fun.
