Quick … what’s your all-time favorite Rolling Stones song? Not easy, is it?

Jim Beviglia is up to the challenge: He’s “Counting Down the Rolling Stones: Their 100 Finest Songs” this week. Lists are always subjective, so if you’re a big Stones fan, don’t take it personal that Beviglia doesn’t have “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Honky Tonk Women” or “Wild Horses” in his Top 10.

I don’t want to give away what his No. 1 “finest” song is, but let’s just say it’s a big hit from 1969.
