Semi-Recent Stones songs that should have Big Hits

1. "I Go Wild" 1994 - why this tune never became a massive hit was a mystery to me. It had all the making of a hit single, even for the 90's. Great party tune.

2. "She Was Hot" 1984 - deserved to be a huge hit. Some one dropped the ball on promoting this one.

3. "Jump on Top of Me" 1994 - Should have been on Voodoo Lounge, not a lame soundtrack to promote it.

Totally agree with she was hot whenever I hear it on the radio which is not often at all. I start to wonder what happen its a song that is way underated.

Hold Back from Dirty Work is probably to "noisy" to be a hit, but it's wonderful rock'n roll.

A lot of people here hate "Hold Back" but its a classic should've-been-a-warhorse to me. I tried to get a club disc jockey to play it for a dance floor once in '86 but couldn't get him to do it. He liked the track but people wanted to dance....to crap like Prince.

"I Go Wild" is too slow and stupid to be a hit. "She Was Hot" is actually maybe somewhat too complex to have gone over big, but it was a minor hit. I like "Hold Back" too, but it is pretty noisy.

I'm surprised "Saint of Me" wasn't a hit. Or was it, in Europe?

Well, Charlie's drum work on it is impeccable. One of his finest performances.

I like Hold Back, Out of Control, and Saint Of Me a lot too. I also think Too Tight is a great rocker.
