I like the following a lot more now that I did before, although I wouldn’t go so far as to say I ever disliked them;

It’s Only Rock n Roll
Fool to Cry
Emotional Rescue
Silver Train
I Got the Blues
Live With Me
Country Honk

What To Do?
The Lantern
Walkin' The Dog

Jigsaw Puzzle
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Emotional Rescue
Start Me Up
She Was Hot

Ride like the wind at double speed.....

Hide Your Love
SHort and Curlies
Luxury
Turd On the Run
Send It To Me
Emotional Rescue

SOngs I still don't like
Fight
HoldBack
Winning Ugly
Back To Zero
Infamy
Sweet Neo-Con
Gomper
Sing This All Together - Both versions
Might As Well Get Juiced
Look What the Cat Dragged In
Going Home

The whole Exile album (the first times I listened to it, then it became my favourite)
Dancing With Mr. D
Midnight Rambler
When the whip comes down / Respectable / Lies (to me that was all the same song and a sign for a decline in their creativity, now I enjoy it)
She's so cold (loving is exaggerated, but I have to admit it can be quite fun)

And as a band - The Rolling Stones (I used to be a Beatle guy)

I don't care much for the albums 12X5 and The Rolling Stones, Now!. Too many schmaltzy pop tunes.

Interesting topic, but I cannot come up with five songs..

- Emotional Rescue. I just didn't like the disco beats and the falsetto. I quess I learned to love it over the years and now it's one of my favorite Stones tracks..

- Gimme Shelter. When I bought Hot Rocks 2 in my teens, I always skipped it. Didn't like the dark vibe of it nor the 'screaming' of Miss Clayton


Songs I still don't after multiple like and probably never will...

- FIngerprint File
- Feel on Baby
- I Just wanna see his face

And then there is You can't always get what you want.. A song I used to like, but due to hearing it way too much (especially live) I nowadays always skip it. I also think it's too long. 4 minutes would have been enough. I don't like the hysterical end of the song..

Empty Heart
My Obsession
Gomper
If You Really Want To Be My Friend
Winning Ugly

I don´t like Suck on the jugular. And that will never change.

I reckon «but now you love» saves it

I Got The Blues
Melody
When The Whip Comes Down
Respectable
Before They Make Me Run

This is quite literally the only batch of songs I could come up with. I have to say that the opposite is bit more often the case: some songs that I've liked for decades suddenly cease to amaze me the way they used to do. But on the whole I'm pretty much set in my estimation of their songs.

Emotional Rescue

I would hope that he interprets this thread as intended.... Not so much dislike as least favorites.

I think I am in the minority here but there are no Rolling Stones songs that I have ever disliked or skipped when listening to their albums.

I never skip anything, I listen to it all in its/their entirety.

I don't skip any either.

Can't come up with any that I didn't used to like and now love, but I do have some that I haven't liked and still don't!!

Angie
Shattered
Beast Of Burden
Rambler - it's sometimes tolerable live, though I wish it wasn't a staple every damn show these days!
MAWGJ - to the point that I actually SKIP this one! The only song in the catalog that has that honor!

Early in the 1960's, especially before I had a recordplayer myself, also I strongly and actively disliked "Empty Heart". Love is a much too strong word, but now and from I don't remember how early I like it.

One song I was utterly bored by, and another I was very much reserved to. Those were "Down Home Girl" and originally "High and Dry". Now and through the decades, I have loved both.
