Useless song

Liked it.

However, whoever decided to omit the Sheryl Crow duet from the UK release should have been taken out and shot.

Sheryl still manages (or did then) to have hit singles and it would have been a very obvious choice to have released it as one.

agree with gazza - sheryl added a very nice element to it.

like the song - better than anything on gitd - and coulda/woulda been the much-needed signature song on abb.....

A decent Jagger solo song. Wouldn't have been good as a stones track, imo.

It's better than all of Dogshit In The Doorway. Think the lyrics are about The Rolling Stones? Or Keith? Ha ha: "We haven't spoken in months, you see I've been counting the days" lines, onward to the addict lines even?

Sounds like an ode to the Stones in a way.

I like it.

But, - it's co-written by D. Stewart (music probably) and so no Stonessong . .

yeah D Stewart is the Keith equivalent...except he can still play guitar...and write songs...

I like it better than all of ABB.
But without Sheryl Crow.

One of the highlights of the last decade. Mick was starting to settle into his reliance on cliched lyrics, but infinitely better than "Streets of Love" or "Following the River."

ho hum lyrics but a good, catchy pop tune. it would have been a much better "ballad" track for ABB instead of Streets and Mistake. It's also got one of those choruses that sticks with you the first time you hear it, which is a gift for anyone who's ever written a pop song.

I prefer "Biggest Mistake," but consider "Old Habits" a highlight for Mick solo. Both songs show how he can produce mature introspective lyrics that aren't cringeworthy.

I like it. It seems "Old Habits"and "Biggest Mistake" about the same event

The duet version with Sheryl Crow is better than the solo version. It's amongst Dave Stewart's best songs. And it's a pretty good Jagger solo tune as well. There are more hidden gems on that Alfie soundtrack album as well.

Biggest Mistake was probably written for 'Alfie'. A few other songs on ABB were leftovers/unfinished from that era - ie Laugh I Nearly Died, Streets of Love etc.

I have to agree, I like the version w/out her much better (& I like her, just think mick does great on this by himself).

However I like the b-side acoustic version better than all others!
