Mick said it. He wanted to play Emotional Rescue & Out Of Time.
Criteria: The underrated would make a CD for being stranded on a deserted island...also, they're not really known by non-Stones fans...
Underrated- Salt of the Earth, Loving Cup, Slave, Sleep Tonight, Torn And Frayed, Worried about You, Tops, Tie You Up (pain of Love), Til the Next Goodbye, Out of Tears, Let Me Go, Highwire, Everything Is Turning To Gold (I know...probably hated by some!), Blinded by Rainbows
Criteria: I could live without ever hearing the overrated ones ever again....and some of these were released as singles and receive good radio airplay!
Overrated- She's So Cold, Hangfire, Little T and A, Neighbors (not bad really), Harlem Shuffle, Heartbreaker, Bitch (the last two are pretty damned good though!)
Couldn't disagree more re: HTW. Might be the the most simplistically brilliant song in the Stone's catalogue. Sure it's overplayed, but...the way the cowbell doesn't match the drum intro, the sparse one chord guitar intro, the riff before the singing begins, the raunchy lyrics...it's all genius.
I totally agree with you guys, HTW is pure brilliance. It defines the essence of the Stones: a solid "square" drum rythm, simple yet kick-ass starting riff, the amazing solid solo before the chorus, the sexually explicit lyrics. Come on guys, the album version IS the Stones!
I forgot to mention the most underrated Stones song imo. I think Waiting On A Friend really is one of the all time greatest songs written by anyone. Ok, it's a Stones classic, but not as classic as it deserves to be.
