Defining one of the most important and bizarre moments in history is difficult but The Stones do it with only with a single powerful punch of a lyric"War, Children its shot away." With "Gimmie Shelter" The Stones turned the start of the darkest war in history and turned it into a furious battle cry. For the song Keith Richards created what is arguably his greatest guitar riff with a shocking effect. However it was Jagger's and more notably, Merry Clayton's howling vocals that steal the show. The punch of the lyrics combined with Richards electrifying riff come together to create the most intense and explosive rock song that I have ever heard.
