I like this kind of songs from Stones... Excellent blues to be precise...

IORR was arguably the first time the Stones ever recorded “filler”, and this track certainly qualifies. Totally vapid and forgettable. No wonder the Stones buried it towards the end of the album.

There are filler on GHS, BTB, TSMR, Aftermath, OOOH and No2 as well

Dancing With Mr. D and Star Star aspire heavily to that definition, imo.

I love this kind of Rolling Stones material. You may call it a filler. For me it's a proof that The Rolling Stones still play their original blues / boogie roots extreemly well, unique like the good old days. This kind of music is the heart of The Rolling Stones. (like Hide Your Love, Casino Boogie, Fancy Man Blues or even Mean Deposition)

Those are two fantastic songs.

Filler doesn't necessarily mean "bad". These songs are easy "by numbers"-tracks, like Short And Curlies, for me. I like all the three of them, btw.
Hide Your Love is a jam, which makes it stand out, as opposed to "filler", almost by that alone, imo.
Regarding Aftermath, although being one of my top 4 Stones-albums, I'll have to admit that Think and What To Do (lovely as they are) aspire to being filler material

What To Do is probably the first ever country song the Stones wrote. It's got a great singalong melody and for me that means thought was put behind it which stops it falling into 'filler' category. But hey, whatever spins your wheels.

Agreed...I'd add that there's probably filler on all of the Stones albums, depending on your taste or perspective.

The first 'album' the Stones did, was Aftermath. The albums before, were stray tracks that were gathered together as albums. No wonder they had to fill these albums out with 'filler's.

Too bad, she's got you by the balls, you can't get free at all
She's got your name, she's got your number
You're screamin' like thunder
And you can't get away from it all
It's too bad, she's got you by the balls, you can't break loose at all
She's got your name, she's got your number
You're screamin' like thunder
And you're trapped like a rat in a hole
It's too bad, she's got you by the balls, she's nailed you to the wall
Oh, it's a shame, but that is funny
She crashed your car, she spend your money
And you can't get away from it all
It's too bad, she's grabbed a handful and you can't get away from it all
It's too bad, ooh, and it's painful
And you can't break away from this stall
And you can't get away from it all
It's too bad, she's got you by the balls
She's got your name, she's got your number
You're screamin' blue murder
