I LOVE the song Dirty Work. Very underrated. Passionate, cutting guitar solo:

Back to Zero, though, now that's another story. It's up there with My Girl, Sad Day, Short and Curlies, Can't Be Seen, Pretty Beat Up and Suck on the Jugular as strong annoyances. Overall the Stones have very little truly bad songs, IMO.
p.s. I LOVE Indian Girl and On with the Show.

Love both those songs!
Have to disagree....Too Much Blood is solid....video was excellent too!
Great post. Completely agree with this, except I'd leave out Almost Hear You Sigh and put in Continental Drift and Can't Be Seen. Worst Stones album by far. Which is still a good album compared to most other artists' records!!!
Love You Live is far better than some of the repetitive live compilations since then. IE Flashpoint Still Life

One of their very best 80s songs.I'm totally in shock about the hate for this song.
Yeah, Come On is a cute single, but not something you'd pull your friends into a room, put the 45 on the record player and say....'you just HAVE to hear this!'.
Hardly a career-making single. Says a lot about how great the band is that this was their debut single, followed with a B-rate Beatles song.
While they subsequently had an impressive catalogue, it was the live performance then and now that made and continues their legacy.
There have been bad records before (My Girl) and after (Back To Zero, etc.) but Too Much Blood stands out because it was the first record that didn't even sound like the Stones played on it...I can't make out the style of Charlie... or Keith...or anybody in the band behind Mick.
Those ultra-slick horns heralded that the Stones were trying to stay relevant in the post-Thriller pop music world. For me the worst part is where Mick name-drops The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Stones were so late to the party on that one, I just recall thinking that it was sad how out of touch they were.
Unlike the Satanic Majesties era, where they were just keeping up with current style, in this case they were old men trying to stay "with it." Where some earlier misfires (like Indian Girl) might have been ridiculous, Too Much Blood was the first time that the Stones looked pathetic.
But then...on the same record you've got Pretty Beat Up, which cooks with the heat of Slave, and sounds like it could have been recorded in Keith's basement during the Exile sessions. How do people not love that one??

agreed. just a little less blood would have been preferred.
You are definitely following the wrong group
Are you for REAL?.... think you should follow some other groups Forum

Or as Buckwheat would say: seats pa nub.
That's gotta be at the top of my list right now as well.
There are other misfires but this piece of sh*t was shoved in our faces as a single,on tv and in stadiums.
If you don't like the song that's fine but they didn't shove it in anyobody's face. These guys have been doing this for a long time. Maybe they know what to release as a single better than you? Yes they played it live but some people who didn't like the song actually liked it live. Most of us guys don't watch soap operas so it wasn't shoved in our faces that way either.

Dirty Work, Sweet Neocon, one can kind of snicker at those songs. Yeah they're terrible, hahah!
Streets of Love is so bad that ALL you can do is feel pain.

I think Too Much Blood is about the biggest steaming turd they have ever laid on us. Utterly unlistenable. About half of Dirty Work is in the same category, as is half of ABB (the rest is merely mediocre).
Have to disagree....Too Much Blood is solid....video was excellent too!

6. Terrifying/Almost Hear You Sigh/Hearts for Sale/Blinded By Love/Break the Spell - SURPRISE! 1/2 of Steel Wheels is an insult to the band's prior catalog due to its contrived and slapdash composition. Clearly, the Stones had so little in the can after the first of the public feuds b/t the Glimmers until the bottom of the barrel is splashed all over this record! I KNOW it's 5 songs at once, but it's like one HUGE spoonful of schlock complete with studio tan production! UGH!

Interesting to note that some of the more maligned (by some as being weaker) LPs are wholly unrepresented in this thread. No serious mentions of songs off Goats Head Soup or Undercover or Flowers, all of which have never been critical favorites.
It would be interesting to see what folks would list as their least favorite officially released live track?
WOW, THAT's a hard one!
3 out of 4 sides of LYL.
Love You Live is far better than some of the repetitive live compilations since then. IE Flashpoint Still Life

Too Much Blood is just abysmal. Nothing much to redeem it and purely embarrassing. Streets of Love also is a definite low point.

Where to start, there are so many - pretty much anything from 1979 onwards with the exception of a few. If I really had to go for one contender it would be Indian Girl...a truly dreadful song and I don't care how much of a political message it sends, it's just plain awful.
