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. Riffy

I enjoyed tuning in online to the WRAT that night when you played it, along with the whole album!

I find the entire album void of any "Charlie"...the whole thing sounds canned...given the times and the trends and so forth...but still...PEE_HUGH!!

I like both tunes, by the way. Oh, and I love Winning Ugly. The riff is cool. Obviously the album production sucks, but the rough mixes/8 minute version of WU on Collectibles is great.

Miss You is the last Stones masterpiece and Indian Girl is an absolute gem. There are songs in the Stones pantheon that aren't up to their best... many, many .... But only Anyway You Look At It incites laughter and horror and a genuine WFF. If you don't think so, you haven't heard it.

Anyway You Listen to It...it's shite Wink

I heard the song once, and have no desire to again. The only Stones tune I feel this way about. Thank God it was never on an album; its presence alone woulda turned its album worse than DW.

It always strikes me as the song where Mick couldn't sell danger anymore. It just sounded cheesy.

The only 2 songs I dont like are Sweet Neo-Con which I fast forward every time, and Sweethearts Together bothers me, it's a silly love song with a beat that doesnt make sense, is it supposed to be reggae with an accordian?

Never thought of it as 'reggae' sounding, more of a Tex-Mex feel.

Dont you get the impression there's a subliminal homo-erotic message on there and they're kind of singing it to each other?

There are quite a few of their songs like that (Worried About You, All About You, Mixed Emotions plus a few songs on their solo albums e.g Party Doll)

Jagger's vocal mannerisms are so embarrassing I have to hide behind the sofa when the song is playing.

Better than picturing her naked, thats for sure.

Its the guy going 'wwoooo woo wooo, wooo woo wooo' and the way Lennon says 'They are standing still' that I like.

Great moments in rock n roll.

I agree once again, with Gazza.

It has become IN My LIFE SOMETHING I have become very fond of.
I would suggest that in a 100 years That it, #9, is thought of as a work of art and "way ahead of our time"
