Gotta love the Stones. Their catalog is so well known, there is no point in picking favorites. We all know all their stuff, and we already have our favorites. That said, you hit the sweet spot for me. Let It Bleed is my favorite Stone’s album, and Gimme Shelter is my favorite track on it! They may have other songs which, when considered on their own, I like better than Gimme Shelter, but there are no more than a few.

Is Tumbling Dice a better pick for backgammon? Possibly, but I am not going to split hairs.

Here is a playlist of backgammon tunes from the Backgammon by the Bay club in San Francisco:

Playlist – Backgammon by the Bay

And this is a recap of the songs listed here and in the original thread at BGO about backgammon songs. For good measure, I threw in Minstrel by JT. We are quite an eclectic group. To my ears, some of this is is world-class rock ’n’ roll, while some is absolute drek, but I’ll never say which is which!
