Here we go... is it just me who rates all of the then-new tracks on 40 Licks?
While I don't think they are up there with the very best of the band, they are still better than most of the stuff on ABB in my opinion and yet that album gets so much praise.
I can honestly say all four tracks are a pleasure to listen to.
It would be a dull world if we all liked the same things but when most people seem to agree that the "Big Five" albums represent the Stones at their peak, it baffles me that the above songs don't get the credit that I believe they deserve.
I know plenty aren't but is anyone with me?

Don't Stop is commercial pap. A Jagger solo number with the rest of The Stones guesting on it. The only thing worse on ABB is Streets of Love.

I love Stealing My Heart. It's a track I never get tired of. The other 3 are ok for me.
I also like most of ABB

Don't Stop - mediocre at best.
Stealing My Heart - a level below Don't Stop
Key's to Your Love - the bands worst ballad ever until Streets of Love came out.
Losing My Touch - I always forget this song was even released unless I'm reading a 40 Licks thread - which says enough about it. And about Keith.
None of these songs are very good songs. Predictable, paint-by-numbers stuff. that just takes up room on disc 2 for far superior material that SHOULD have been on it. These four songs are nothing but an annoyance soiling an otherwise decent compliation.
A Bigger Bang = garbage.
Um... can't wait for these two new tracks on GRRR.

A qualified as I'm going to be cautiously optimistic on the new toons.
Hope we get a listen before November.

Just guessing, but I would think classic rock radio stations will likey play one of them (the Jagger one obviously... IF one of them is a Keith vocal) for a couple of weeks to hype the release. It won't last, of course, but it will give someone out there a chance to slap it up on youtube for the rest of us to tear apart.
