Oh my, this is impossible. Big Stones fan here as well. Like one other poster I love the "old classics" but I also love many of their other songs that just never made radio airplay. I cannot limit it to just 5 songs so I will include some Honorable Mentions also:
Not in order but -
1 - Worried About You (I just love the voice and lyrics and music in this song from Tattoo You)
2 - You Got Me Rockin' (great guitar riff, a perfect "open road cruisin' song) from Voodoo Lounge
3 - Winter - (beautiful melody) from Goat's Head Soup
4 - Coming Down Again (I don't think Keith ever topped his voice as he did in this lovely yet sad song) also from Goat's Head Soup
5 - Saint of Me from Bridges To Babylon
Worthy of Honorable Mentions:
1 - If You Can't Rock Me (Somebody Will) - It's Only Rock n Roll
2 - Hand Of Fate - Black And Blue
3 - Dancing With Mr. D - Goats Head Soup (OK, a great album altogether!)
4 - Moonlight Mile - Sticky Fingers (another classic album of theirs)
5 - Soul Survivor - Exile On Main Street
With special mention to -
* Monkey Man
* Far Away Eyes
* B#tch (from Sticky Fingers)
* Neighbors
* Feel On Baby and Too Much Blood
OK, I have to stop now or I will just keep going. LOL.

Reason: wasn't try to include foul language, just naming a song. LOL
I like "Goats Head Soup" album alot too...I could never understand why critics panned it ...they would write about how great Exile on Main Street and then say that Goat's Head wasn't up to par ....
I like really like "Coming Down Again" off Goat's Head Soup...
..Keith Richards on lead vocals ....there's something about Keith's voice
I like ...he's not really a "good" singer but I like his voice
Happy from Exile ....again Keith on lead vocals
You Got the Silver .......from Let It Bleed ...always liked that one
No Expectations ....from Beggar's Banquet ...nice slide guitar from
Brian Jones ...sadly the last gasp of brilliance from him
Child Of the Moon ....Jumpin' Jack Flash B-side ...an overlooked great little tune ....that's producer Jimmy Miller yelling during the intro
1) Gimme Shelter
2) Sympathy For the Devil
3) Street Fighting Man
4) 2,000 Light Years From Home
