Mick Jagger's sneering, confident vocal delivery, full of youthful bravado and a hint of danger, perfectly capturing the band's early persona.
The sudden, wailing harmonica solos that cut through the gritty instrumentation, adding a layer of blues authenticity and raw emotion.
The tight, no-frills rhythm section that provides an unstoppable, danceable groove, making every track feel like a live performance.
