I like Angie better and I think it's underrated.

Wild Horses is stunning and is light years ahead of any other "ballard" (as Mick called them at the 02) that they have done. A colleague of mine was given a download voucher at Starbucks for Fool To Cry. I expressed my disappointment for him.

and misunderstood. Angie is "dirtier" than its reputation. I love it and prefer it to Wild Horses which I find childish although the 1975 version was ok.

Wild Horses is a very well-written song, both musically and lyrically. It's one of the Jagger/Richards compostitions that comes pretty close to Lennon/McCartney level of excellence.
The theme is universal; "We've hurt each other so much over the years, but I still ache for you", shows Jagger finally hitting a mature stride, lyrically (a strength that, for me, divides the 'big four' into 2).
Musically it's gorgeous; the chord sequence alone is moving, the leads and topline evoke tears, it's so beautiful. It's the kind of song artists WANT to cover, the notes alone evoke emotion. Again, well done, Mick.
I'd say Mick expanded on this type of writing a bit with Let It Loose (which I've always felt was a musical/lyrical direct evolution of Wild Horses in a way).
Comparisons to Angie for me are unfavourable. While Keith nailed that one musically, Angie, lyrically, falls up short in comparison.

if i could whine for a minute - and i rarely do...
i didn't understand it or like it when mick started adding "'cos" to the refrain on these past shows. there is no cause and effect here, mick. stop saying "'cos" - it doesn't work. stop it.
i do like the song alot, though, "'cos" or no "'cos."
