Mick Jagger<\/a> is one of the most iconic rock stars in history, and even he has a hard time picking favorites when it comes to his own music<\/a> catalog.<\/p>\n

The 82-year-old Rolling Stones frontman recently sat down with NBC<\/a>‘s Willie Geist<\/a>for an in-depth interview on Sunday TODAY<\/a>, where he was asked to name some of his favorite songs his band has put out over the past six decades.<\/p>\n

But the question wasn’t an easy one for Jagger to answer.<\/p>\n

What Is Mick Jagger’s Favorite Rolling Stones Song?<\/p>\n

During his interview, Jagger was asked by Geist to name the “one song” that he believes embodies the band at their best \u2014 but the rocker chose to name a few, rather than just one.<\/p>\n

Nothing that the band has “hundreds of songs” and “so many different styles,” Jagger struggled to come up with an answer, but ended up rattling off some of his favorites from over the years, including “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Start Me Up,” “Angie,” and “Honky Tonk Woman.”<\/p>\n

“Asking Mick Jagger to pick his favorite stones song is like asking Gretzky to pick his favorite assist,” one user wrote in the comments on Instagram, adding, “Just too many good ones.”<\/p>\n

“How can you pick just one stones song? I mean, HOW?” someone else added, while more fans chimed in with comments naming their personal favorite Rolling Stones tracks, with answers ranging from “Wild Horses” and “Gimme Shelter” to “Paint It Black,” “Satisfaction” and more.<\/p>\n

Does Mick Jagger Have a Favorite Rolling Stones Album?<\/p>\n

Also during his interview with Geist, Jagger was asked about his favorite Rolling Stones album \u2014 and again, he couldn’t pick just one.<\/p>\n

“Hmm. I mean, I think Sticky Fingers is really good. I think Beggars Banquet is really good. I think Hackney Diamonds is pretty good, too.”<\/p>\n
