Because it is. In Stones standards.

I think it's a hard-rocking gem, but that the production and the sound is horrible. The live versions I have are great.

Maybe you are right. I think that is the problem in other IORR songs as well. The band sounds too forced and uninspired there. I think "If You Can' Rock Me" is the worst example. I have long thought what's the problem with that song (IYCRM)that it doesn't work for me. It has everything a classic Stones tune needs: distinctive Keith guitar hooks; good lyrics; a nice idea even for an anthem, but the result just don't hit home. The same sort of problem I have discovered in "One Hit (To The Body)" later. Perhaps over-production?

The first "Glimmer Twin-production". Some of the answers might be in there.

When I think of underrated songs, I think of tracks that are so good, that they were regarded as great tracks at the time of release and are regarded as classics by RS fans today, but were never released as singles, never appeared on compilations, and never became concert warhorses --- therfore, not known to the "general public". From 68-72, Stones output was so good, that the tracks that are well-known are all five-star classics (HTW, JJF, SFM, SFTD, Gimme Shelter, IYCAGWYW, Midnight Rambler, BS, Bitch, Wild Horses, Tumbling Dice, Happy, Rocks off/RTJ, etc.). I would take these 12 relatively "obscure" album tracks from that period, and put it up against any album by any artist.

No. 1 all time? My choice would be either Let it Loose or Stray Cat Blues.

Stray Cat Blues
No Expectations
Salt of the Earth
Memo from Turner
Monkey Man
You Got the Silver
Live with Me
Sway
Can You Hear Me Knocking
Moonlight Mile
Rip This Joint
Let It Loose

Winter - may be the best studio song Andy Johns thought so

Winter is wonderful, fine choise OpenG.
The more I think of this thread´s theme the harder
it get to pick only one most severely underrated Stones-song.

Out of tears

An odd choice, but I have always believed that "Moon is Up" is vastly underrated.

Chris F

TOPS
almost the whole second side of Tattoo

casino boogie

Brand New Car. Has the same bluesy feel that many of their songs from the Exile period had. Great wah wah solo from Keith.

"Sway" -- even my soul brother Schuine doesn't like this one.

Worried about you

Whos been sleeping here?

Winter

Yeah the flipside of Tattoo you is one of my favourites too. Underrated indeed.

Silver Train, not most underrated, but should be in the group. WOuld love to see it live.
