not sure it's about skill, per se. it's about being inspired...having a muse. there's very scant evidence that any of that has been present in a very long time.

you know i read that about anita and stu having that voice within the glimmers to chime in on the albums .stu i can see because he was one of them ,but anita .that makes me scratch my head and wonder .did she have such a good ear?the rest of her back in the day -smoking hot wow but that is another story.

think of it like this-if a group of fans,most of whom aren't musicians and have never seen the band in a studio can disect the stones output to what looks to me like about %100 accuracy,think of anitas perspective.believe me that girl was a badass and knew the music[and obviously keith and mick] inside out.if you can find it theres an interview with keith from about 79 where she just f@cks with him the whole time, totally not afraid to say whats on her mind.don't know if he could handle that these days.

Great Great Album! Should be left alone.

What's wrong with "Streets of Love"? I think it's a brilliant ballad.

Same here. I love it. I'm not trying to diss anyone else's opinion but I think there is a "can't stand Streets Of Love" bandwagon that some people jump on without giving it half a chance.

Other people think it's too sappy but what was Fool To Cry?

"Lyin' awake in a cold, cold sweat. Am I overdrawn, am I going in debt?
It gets worse, the older that you get. No escape from the state of confusion I'm in.

Sometimes my favourite band released some awful songs and that´s just my opinion.
Can´t see the bandwagon ,but if : I wouldn´t care,´cause I´m able to judge by myself.

Streets Of Love;Indian Girl;YGMR - to name a few...so what ?
I think everyone here should be able to stand this.

hey - i STARTED the bandwagon and welcome all jumpers.

FTC is a soulful ballad with one of mick's best vocal (SOL is flatout his worst)...and some very cool guitar work which is completely absent in SOL.

That's hilarious. Fool To Cry is terrible too but is a million times better than Streets Of Love.

That's no band wagon, it just is.

Sadly enough I'm a big fan of "Little Indian Girl" too.. It must be that Stones is a very good ballad band in my listening-to-music-world, and only accepted as a rock band for many of you other fans...I think Dinosaurs Jr and Metallica is much more rock'n'roll since 1990...

Hey,Come On,I don´t think it´s a "ballad or a rock song" question but more
of personal taste and standards.

You can hardly say YGMR for example is a ballad and there are beautiful ballads
the Stones released the last decades.

Don´t take anything of people´s or in this case my opinion towards certain Stones songs or albums personel,definetly not intended.

But sometimes I got hurt by skipstone expressing his deep and constant dislike of
Rain Fall Down...........a shower for you,skip !
