No Use In Crying is great. I love it. Great lyrics, great music, great vocals. It is completely underrated!
I thought we all liked it!
I thought so too.
I all love it...
So it's well-rated, then?

It's songs like these that put the Stones in a class all their own. Side 2 of Tattoo is a masterpiece.

I think "Ain't No Use In Crying" is soooo underrated.
I hate the term "criminally underrated".

My most vivid memory of this is hearing it for the first time in my dark room on a sweltering summer night in '81.
I had played the "Start Me Up" single a couple times, and then flipped it over and out came this masterpiece. The Stones were reaching back to a more delicate and quieter Brian-era sound that reminded me of "Lady Jane."
Even more than that, this Ronnie-credited song evoked side two of Faces' Ooh La La album. It would fit right in between "If I'm On The Late Side" and "Glad and Sorry."
It can't be overstated how incredible "Start Me Up" was to fans back then. "No Use In Crying" was the confirmation that their upcoming Tattoo You album was going to really be something special.
And it was.
