Yep, the Stones did their best to stay trendy as with Miss You during the disco rage. I never did like Miss You.

Y'all are nuts. Miss You is GREAT. Killer single, killer lead track to LGSA, killer 12", killer live in '78 and '81.
Might As Well Get Juiced is very cool.
And Dandelion is marvellous - you KNOW you should wear it.

Come on, dig up the true bottom of the barrel for what would truly be a godawful record:

In no particular order and just off the top of me head:

Flip The Switch / Where The Boys Go / SMU /Dirty Work Album except Had It w/ You, Too Rude and Harlem Shuffle / Melody /

not sure if it is fair to include GOMMPER...it barly is a song in itself...but it is kind of interesting

Oh...I like The Dust Brothers...so Juiced is on my LIKE list

'Miss You' is a great record. I'm just sick to death of hearing it being butchered live. Mind you, I'd like to see the Stones tour again if it means I have to put up with it. 'Where The Boys Go' is one of my top 12, and always has been.

Worst ever? 'Hold Back' by a mile. A dreadful thrashing mess that spends five minutes in a vain search for something resembling a tune, with possibly the worst vocal of Jagger's career (his tendency to growl and bark around that era wasnt very enjoyable).

The rest of the top 10 in no particular order

My Girl (great song. Crap cover).
Sing This All Together
Sing This All Together (See What Happens)
Gomper (anyone able to notice a trend yet?)
Anyway You look at It
Sweet Neo Con (decent tune, but a message that totally misses the point because it reads like the rantings of a 12 year old with Tourettes)
Suck On The Jugular
Losing My Touch
Melody (enjoyed the novelty of seeing it played live at Shepherds Bush, though)

To be honest, theres not that many that I cant listen to. Even some of the above arent totally horrendous. Thats not a bad return for a catalogue of 350 songs.

I'm not feeling negative today, in spite of this horrible weather and this stupid world. So I'll say that I pretty much like every Stones song. Maybe side two of Undercover kinda sucks (except for Too Much Blood; I love that one), but it's still an entertaining listen. Besides that, I don't think that I ever heard their "Like A Rolling Stones" version in its entirety.

I gotta go with Back To Zero and Sweet Neo Con. Both crap songs on just about every level as far as I'm concerned. SNC could have been so much better had Jagger actually written some lyrics that weren't so banal and insipid. Those lyrics rank right up there (or down there?) with "sharks will cry...,and, "I ate the turkey and the stuffing too..." in their supidity.

I used to hate Gomper, but as I get older I look at that whole period with nostalgia, and it brings back memories of the days of Swinging London, Mick and Marianne, and the Redlands period.

Neocon is absolute tripe. It wins hands down not only for its utter lack of anything resembling intellect, it also was meant to be taken seriously.

Among Jagger's absolute worst efforts of all time, and it had NO business being placed on a Stones record. That song took what was a decent album and diminished it to the point of embarrassment.

Shame on Jagger for including such a vile, stinking, pile of dung.

This Place Is Empty by the way is a solid good tune.

Long live Keith...

Ironically, I really don't like the album version, but I would like to see it done live...either from B stage (imagine that sing-a-long!!) or as an encore next to last song w/ the confetti/ balloons etc...as a bone for the set list complainers (hi everybody!!)

Indian Girl - that is the one of the few that makes me wonder just what the hell they were thinking
Melody
Don't Stop
Where the Boys Go
In Another Land
Has Anybody Seen My Baby

Those are the only ones that make me hit the skip track button when they come up on the CD player.

I know a lot of folks don't care for Might As Well Get Juiced. I like it even though it doesn't sound like a Stones song to me. More like Mick plotting a solo album.

I notice that their weakest modern stuff tends to be politically oriented - weak because it's way too specific and non-metaphorical compared to their 1960s-70s politics (Sweet Black Angel., SFTD, YCAGWYW, Heartbreaker).
