What do you guys think are the most underrated songs by the boys (underrated in the mainstream)?
For me:

Worried About You.
Hand of Fate
Hey Negrita
Too Much Blood
Rock and a Hard Place
Lady Jane
Dandelion
Emotional Rescue
Some Girls
Tell Me
Mixed Emotions
Factory Girl
Heaven
If You Can't Rock Me
Winter
Dancing with Mr. D
Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)
Play with Fire
Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby?
2000 Lightyears from Home


There's tons of others. Some of these songs may have been well known and well received when they were released but are generally forgotten by the mainstream, at least people my age (early 20s)

From this list...

Winter
Hand Of Fate...all others were either MTV fodder...FM staples...of B side juke box hits...

r.e. Heaven...was all over TV as that was the main song played for the Tattoo You ( or Still Life)   TV commercials.

I actually didn't know people in their 20's really knew the Stones...they may know who they are ( that band my dad listens too) \
but not something they actually activly purchase...( Dude, they put out Albums!! ( not vinyl) )

Please understand...i don't put you down because of your age...i find your questions fascinating as well as amusing...i don't think that artist put out TV commercials anymore for albums, do they? i don't know,
I have 2 kids who are 7, so we don't have TV in the house.
But bands used to actually have TV commercials for their albums...and there is a Cable TV station called MTV ( Music Television) that used to show
music videos by bands, first for about 8 hrs a day...then for about 14 hrs a day...eventually they went to a 24 hr format supplemented by weird TV shows and and "dance parties". They also pioneered reality TV and specialty music shows like YO! MTV Raps and cartoons like Beavis & Butthead and Aeon Flux

Here is an article about the network: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mtv

The network was essentially "invented"by Mike Nesmith of the 60's TV show, The Monkees

Keep asking questions...that is how you learn!!

Loving Cup

" Going Home "

TOO MANY TO LIST..
BUT ROCK AND A HARD PLACE IS HORRENDOUS

Emotional Rescue does more before 9am than most songs do all day.

Too Tight and Too Tough.

They're endless, too many

Laugh, I Nearly Died.

In a similar way...Down In The Hole

Infamy! I just listened to that the other day and it's got such an awesome groove.

All the way down is really cool, too!

Hand Of Fate
Lady jane
Winter
100 Years Ago
Thats How Strong My Love Is
Down The Road Apiece
Let It Loose
Little Red Rooster
Child Of The Moon

That's easy:  "It's Not Easy"
The perpetual absence from "most underrated" lists of this Berryesque gem with the Dylanesque lyrics is proof of its supremacy among underrated Stones classics.
:areyoufuckingserious
Brainy

Ooohhh!..  that is a good one.

Agree with Down in the Hole too.

Here's some:
Too Tough
High and Dry
Short and Curlies

I agree too many to list but here is a few that come to mind:

Jivin' Sister Fanny
Sittin' On a Fence
Blinded By Rainbows
Sway
Out of Time

I've always thought those two songs are musical cousins.

+1 on It's Not Easy Brainy.

It's the title cut and lead track of my "personal favorites from 66-67" compilation.

Without question..........superb Stones and would have been a terrific add to the recent gigs

fuck what other people think, that's a good playlist... once again, fuck the mainstream and what other people think!!!

In my life, no Stones song is underrated.

I love Rock and a Hard Place, Perks!

What is your opinion of Indian Girl ?

I love Indian Girl.

Emotional Rescue has been a favorite album for years and years.

Out of the blue...a good friend explained how he has heard DOOM & GLOOM a few times and really likes it. He is 42.

He is not a huge Stones fan ( like this asylum)...but he made a very interesting comment,

He noted that while it is a very good song...even borderline KICK-ASS...had it been done
EXACTLY the same way
by Foo Fighters and Jack White...it would have been HUGE.

He was not referring to the Stones not being relevant any longer...just their lack of being marketable and connecting to the under 35 crowd...
a person who is 35 now...would have been 10 about the time DIRTY WORK came out...13 with Steel Wheels , 18 when VooDoo Lounge and about 21 when B2B was released...
Can you really blame them for not being grabbed by those 4 albums in the prime of their musical development??

THOUGHTS???

cant argue with the logic..people gravitate to bands or entertainers closer to their own age...ala the boy bands and Bieber for the kids. It took me until later 20's that I started to listen to the old blues tracks the Stones songs copied.Hell a brand new incredible Hendrix track released today without hip hop rap singing would likley lay an egg commercially.

Everything is turning to gold too!
