Emotional Rescue is bloody awful in my opinion and the lyrics are dumb as well.

Emotional Rescue is bloody brilliant and the lyrics are hilarious as well.

Anybody Seen My Baby was another stinker of an opening single, though not as horrible as Emotional Rescue or Streets of Love.
Not unlike ER, this was one of the very few good songs on the album

Gotta love the Stones - dividing fans since 1962!
Actually, I think it was Angie that might have been one of the first singles to divide fans, though there were probably earlier ones before my time.
Some thought she was a true stinker, while others loved it - count me in as one of the lovers..."there ain't a woman that comes close to you..."...perfect.

Yes I don't dislike Streets Of Love, it reminds me a bit of Fool To Cry (now THAT song I really hate).

A funny story from work, a young guy we hired as a junior lawyer, assigned to me, sorta, was a Huge Stones Fan. Turned out he didn't own any records but only watched Youtube clips. Every time I asked his opinion on a Stones record, he hated it. In the end I had to conclude that this dude only liked what the Stones did before 1963...

So you REALLY love Streets Of Love?
Blows my mind how anyone could like that gargantuan turd of a song.

Well... it's not easy to explain. Yes I hate Fool To Cry. Then ffw to 2005: there is this rather inconspicuous little song, too insignicant really to even be on a Stones record, let alone be a Lead Single, called Streets Of Love. Such is the deplorable fate of a Stones fan of four decades, that even a song reminiscent of a bad song from 40 years previous, can elicit some feeling of, what, sympathy? As in: What the ffff?? this actually sounds a bit like they used to do?!??. Whodathunkit.

Out Of Tears is one of the better tracks from VL.

"Streets of Love"...embarassing song.
A Mick's solo song that unfortunately ended in a Stones album.

Yep, and there's plenty more Mick solo songs that made it to Stones albums that should have been kept solo or completely forgotten altogether.
To be fair though, Keith has had his share as well that would have been better off not on a Stones album and/or shelved.
Sometimes they veto eachother's ideas though claiming "not Stones material" as was the case of Getta Grip/England Lost
Too bad Keith didn't step up like that when Mick brought Emotional Rescue to the table, and surprised he tolerated Streets of Love.

I think it's based on a simple C and Fmaj7 in the 1st position. Index finger hammering the c note and the little finger adding the d note.
No..?

Not just a regular Fsus? I know Collins (or Sanborn?) extends that chord with notes from the maj-chord a few times, but does Keith really play a Fmaj there?
Perhaps he does, and I just didn't hear it

Yeah, he probably hits a regular F chord on the first beat but when he plays the single notes (second half of the bar), I think he leaves the high e open. That's what I hear...

On the bonus DVD, even Keith rather unconvincingly concedes "I like Streets Of Love...very much" right after Mick says something like "Sometimes you can hear a song in your head and that is how it should be and with Streets Of Love I imagined it- as it is!"
In my best possible world Streets Of Love trades places with Old Habits Die Hard, which suddenly makes ABB really flow.
