I like 99,9 % of their songs. But in my opinion Sweet Neocon is the absolute lowpoint. Fortunately there tons of good stuff that make up for that little 'mistake'.

I liked Don't Stop. Thought it was a fresh addition to the setlist at the time. Of course, it's a standard commerciallly-written rock/pop song, but then again - so is One Hit, She Was Hot, Beast Of Burden etc.

To say that Don't Stop is worse than Sing This All Together, Gomper, Congratulations etc. is stretching it a bit far, imo.

But taste is different

We've done this thread a couple of times past over the years. 'Back to Zero' always wins out as the worst of the worst. Jumpin' Jack Flash must be the second worst followed by Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil...okay, I'm kidding. Really! It's too early in the AM here.

Can You Hear the Music. Never liked it.

Might as Well Get Juiced- it is the only song that I have never listened to again!

Don't Stop - the best example of Jagger's infuriating habit of trying to get the Stones to sound contemporary. At best it's mindless drivel and at worst it's a sure sign of the Stones' songwriting bankruptcy.

I think Don´t Stop is a very good song and I have no problem with it sounding "contemporary". It´s a good production on that one. Are they supposed to sound like the past, or what? Poor guys. One of their worst songs...almost anything from EmotionalRescue.

Anybody Seen My Baby

Indian Girl
Sing This Altogether (See What Happens) is genuinely one of my favourite Stones sumbers.

Hi Svartmer,

I don't want them to sound like the past but at the same time their songwriting always had an identity - something which this song definitely does not have. My problem with it is that it sounds like a could have come from any number of modern rock bands and not a band with a pedigree as high as the Stones.
I can see what they were trying to do...create another Start Me Up type song seeing as that was their last big hit. But anyway, you can't argue with taste. I personally like Satanic Majesties which annoys a lot of people here. As Lennon said "it's nothing to get hung about".

Everything the Stones have ever released is brilliant.

Criticising anything they've ever done should be forbidden and those who do so should be banned.

I love Don't stop and also that camera on Ronnies guitar was great, they ought to put it on their set list on the next tour.

SEX DRIVE

Well said, I second and third that!

I like Don't stop, is my ringtone on mobile.
Might as Well Get Juiced- the only stones song that I have never listened to the end!

rain fall down

Toos up between Sweet neocon and Indian Girl

Streets Of Love. Brilliant it ain't. Brilliantly bad it is.

Don't stop?! I personally like the song, but I can understand that some people don't. But to say that it is "the worst ever"? Surely there are worse songs. Don't stop is somehow too light and easy, but I still love it, specially live. Wouldn't mind at all if it was in the setlist on the next tour. But it won't be.

The same with Miss You. I personally don't like it much, but it surely is at least a good song. Deffinitely not the worst ever.

Sweet Neocon

Utterly terrible,lyrically and musically

somebody should definitely compile a "Worst of the Rolling Stones" cd - perhaps include a couple of bonus tracks on an accompanying dvd, too....

Start Me Up

Regarding " I Go Wild " : Which Bon Jovi song(s) does it sound like ?? It doesn't sound like any that I've heard. It sounds like the Rolling Stones to me >> strong guitars,bass,drums etc..

does the artwork include some of the most ridiculous, repulsive and embarrassing pictures of the band members? act now and have it personally signed by Matt Clifford?

Biggest Mistake is f ucking awful.
