Allready over me
Too tight
Low down
Out of control
saint of me
thief in the night

Funny how the article points out five songs in the 90's that proved they weren't artistically cooked, yet only 3 of those songs were written in the 90s.

Love is strong.
Out of control
Moon is up
Rough Justice

Rock and Roll,
Mops

Nice to see people out there giving the "later period" a fair chance. Surprised he included "Saint of Me" over "Out of Control." Funny, no "Thru and Thru" mention.

I agree it's a far better album than VL (& so is AB, though I'm probably one of the few who'd add 'Might As Well Get Juiced' as a fave.

The best - Love Is Strong and one that I've come to love only recently Thru & Thru, especially the psychedelic 8.33 minute outtake version.

There's a handful of others like The Worst, Out Of Control, er, maybe that's it for classics.

The vast majority of them dont 'suck' in any shape or form.

In fact, apart from 'Suck On the Jugular', 'Anyway you look at it' and (I know this aint a popular choice, but I've never cared for it) 'Mean disposition', I find the rest of their 90s output listenable at worst, mostly pretty good and occasionally magnificent.

There just wasnt enough of it.

suckiness is in the mouth of the....hmmm....help me here...sucker?

The Stones did too many good songs in the 90's too mention them here, this period is underrated. Stripped was very good, VL had great moments and B2B was an ambitious album that rolled, the live version of OOC belongs to my best R'n'R concert memories.

Agreed completely, WindMelody.

What the hell? Dead Flowers?
Honest I Do? It's not even an original song.

Too many to mention??? They only had 2 albums of new material (please don't include Stripped, we're talking new songs).

If you took Voodoo Lounge and Bridges to Babylon, STRIPPED (yes, pun intended) out the best songs, you'd have a 10-11 songs that would probably make an excellent album, on par with a slimmed down ABB.

I hate Steel Wheels being asssociated with the 80's. Wish it came out in 1990.

Production on it was very '80s though

I expected a bit of an outpouring about, what I see as glaring mistakes, inaccuracies or outlandish, point making hallucinations in this article.
First, I thought the point was 5 toons fropm the 90's?! To me, that clearly means new songs or what the hell, I could up with all sorts of angles on things that were released in the 90's via cd, b-side, video, etc.

2. Jagger hadn't played harmonica on a Stones record in years? How about the album (that he mentions) right before VL, SW (Break the Spell-which, truthfully, does a lot more for me than LIS all these years later)?

3. Sun is Shining was famously played at Altamont? Seriously? I bet you could walk down whatever the hippest, most happening, rockinist, rollinist street in the world is and ask a hundred people about it and maybe two would be able to tell you they did this at Altamont.

4. Lasty, SOM is a tribute to bad boy Billy Preston? I could be wrong and if so would be glad to acknowledge, but where did this come from? I never heard of any suggestion of this. I know he played on it as it was perfect for the kind of playing he did, but did MJ or anyone else ever say this is about or influenced by or anything about BP?

...I don't see songs which "suck" in the 90's or other decades...only some are better than others..!!!!

Back to Zero, Hold Back (Don't Hold Back?...I get mixed up), Winning Ugly???

And that's just from one album.

It's ok to have a favourite band that has songs that suck.

I'm in the minority, I think, but my fave of the nineties is Baby Break It Down. I love the slow groove, the guitar riff, the vocal harmonies.

A little bit, but not to bad. Real drums though.

Like that would help. Knowing how Stones fans behave these days, you'd just end up getting the "In 1990 everything still sounded like the 80s" comment.

It's definitely one of my favourites. Jagger laying down decent vocals and harmonies over some great stuff that sounds and feels like a really good Winos track. Nice to see someone else loves it!
