Worst Stones songs
Jul 11^th, 2024 at 12:52am

Okay, I'm REALLY trying to work, but what shall I do if I open a new browser tab on my work laptop and it shows me THIS article:

https://www.msn.com/en-sg/news/other/the-20-worst-rolling-stones-songs/ss-BB1idj...

Whoever made this list is a fucking idiot because at least 15 of those are amazing deep cuts or randomly played rarities Roll Eyes

Fool to Cry??? They should watch some vids of the Berlin show from 2022 I am STILL in awe of that performance 2 years later, I will never ever forget this, fucking incredible

Also Little T&A wtf is wrong with this person, I have never heard this song live before this current tour and also very very rarely listen to it on record, so it was SUCH a pleasant surprise when Keith played it and I LOVE this riff so much!

I would give a lot to ever get to hear Baby Break it Down or This Place is Empty or Hearts For Sale live...

What are songs that in your opinion actually deserve to be on this list? (Imo most of what's on Satanic Majesties lol)

He probably just put Some Girls on the list to feign some political correctnes because he didn't dare to put Brown Sugar there, seeing how it's obviously also an amazing song, as is Some Girls...I think people should chill about lyrics and just apprecciate the rock'n'roll

SWEETHEARTS TOGETHER

you made a grown man cry

I love it^^ and so did the guys while recording it, it seems, really like this quote by Ronnie from 1994:

"The great thing is that Mick and Keith are getting along so much better now. Whenever they felt a little feud coming up, they would say, I guess we better do "Sweethearts Together", to cool things down. They do nice harmony."

They sure do nice harmony <3 that's why I wish they'd finally play Dreamy Skies...

Im not going to read this "list".
Its from MSN...reeks of probable AI authorship.

I do have a few of my own "worst song lists" in my head....which can and do change like the weather
But to just name a few WITHOUT looking at Spotify, I say:

You Got Me Rocking
Doom & Gloom
On No Not You Again
Rough Justice
She Saw Me Coming
Living in a Ghost Town - opportunistic and contrived
All of DW except Too Rude and Had It w/ You
Melody
Cherry Oh Baby - while they play it well enough, its a typical Reggae standard done to death by many..
Like when they play Get up Stand Up...total waste of time, IMO
Short & Curlies - Though, I once was part of a Shidoobee Sing-along to this (AC 2006)...and had a blast!

Honorable mention:
Something Happened To Me Yesterday - Kinda strange, Sometimes I like it, as it can put a smile on my face
when Im alone but it usually makes me cringe if others are around

My list is:

almost the entirety of Satanic Majesties (minus She's a Rainbow and 2000 Lightyears from Home)
and almost the entirety of Undercover (minus the title track, which is honestly the only one I like, even Wanna Hold You is terrible, si I agree with you on that one, Goo)
cannot stand these two albums and basically never listen to them, and whenever someone makes me try it again and I think, oh maybe NOW I will FINALLY click with it...no, I don't xD

I don't think Angie is a bad song, but it's kinda overrated imo...they definitely have much better slow songs...just for the sake of never having heard it live tho I still wouldn't complain if they played it at a show I'm at, it got quite "rare" these last few years, didn't it? It was last played in Stockholm in 2022 (3 times during the Sixty tour) and 24 times in total since 2013 (261 times overall)

In comparison to that, they e.g. played Bitch (294 overall) 4 times this tour and 32 times since 2013, kinda odd seeing how Angir has over 367 million plays on Spotify and Bitch has only over 24 million...I think they sure could have played Angie at some of the shows this current tour instead of Wild Horses xD (which has over 278 million plays on Spotify, just for comparison) but what I'd rather have heard in terms of slow songs tho is Dreamy Skies or Depending on You *sigh*

It is the Emotional Rescue of the 80s (decade)...it was the MTV darling and antithesis at the same time.... But seriously, one of my faves...hands effin down!
