1. Hold Back
2. Sing This All Together (see What Happens)
3. My Girl
4. Under The Boardwalk
5. Sweet NeoCon / Anyway you look at it (cant decide)

I can honestly find it hard to find enough songs to stretch into double figures that I find utterly unlistenable. Thats pretty good for 350 songs over 45 years. And probably about half of the worst 12-15 would either be on Satanic Majesties or are duff early covers of what were originally good songs cut while the band were still learning their trade.

Special mention - while its obviously not by any stretch of the imagination a bad song (or even a bad version), the editing abortion that shares its name with that of this message board on 'Live Licks' is the greatest atrocity ever committed to disc in the name of the Rolling Stones.

Where the Boys Go
Summer Romance
Neighbors
Fight
Miss You

I actually like Sing This Song Altogether and All About You and the LP Dirty Work.
I don't think there is a Keith song that would make my top 100 worst list.

EDIT: Talked with a friend last night, who reminded me of my all time least favorite Stones song (and it IS a Keith song)

I Wanna Hold You (belongs on the top of my list).

Would actually be in my top 10-12 favourites! I dont think there's any other Stones song which inspires such divided opinion.

Miss You is a great record IMO. Unfortunately its been so routinely tedious in concert since 1989, its probably become the most despised of all the warhorses, and this has led to the studio recording being so lightly regarded by many.

A lot of my Stones friends like Where The Boys Go too. I never did myself.
I bought a cassette of Steel Wheels once, while on vacation (1989?). Listened twice and then gave it to some guy at a gas station.
Weeks later when I was cleaning my truck, I found it !! He must have tossed it back in !! I am 100% positive that he took it from me at that Fresno gas station. Anyway, haven't bought a Stones release since then, so I can't really pick from those.

I too bought an ' extra ' cassette of " Steel Wheels " so it would always be inside my portable boom box at the pool ......... somebody ' stole it ' during the ' Fourth of July ' weekend in 1990 and I never saw it AGAIN until two weeks ago at Sullivan's Steakhouse when I discoved said cassette inside my plate of veal marsala . Imagine the look of surprise on my face . True Story .

The version of My Girl is pretty atrocious. Other than that, though, all of the songs I used to hate when I was younger have pretty much grown on me. I guess I'm still not a huge fan of If You Really Want to Be My Friend or Melody, but I no longer wretch like I used to. Streets of Love is also a bit rank... wait, I take it back. Worse than Streets of Love is This Place is Empty. I love just about everything Keith has sung on, but that song is... blech. :funny
