Maybe it´s a great piece of music, but too complicated for me. It sounds so weird, I can hardly bear it. And there are strings on it, i don´t like strings in rock music, strings belong to Frank Sinatra. Just listened to Moonlight Mile and had to put on She Said Yeah to blow this strange song out of my ears.

Haven't read this whole thread, but did catch the bit about MM not being worthy. I must beg to differ. Music wise, sonically, the sound that hits your ears, the lyrics, the tone of the instruments, the whole vibe of the song. This is primo, at their best, Rolling Stones.

This was my third album that i got into with the Stones. After the Hits album Rolled Gold initiated me into Stonesworld and then after that Tattoo You.
Sticky was my favourite album then, and to this day, it still is.
I play it more than any other. Although Exile is more critically acclaimed, i prefer this. Its so easy to listen too.
Its soulful, moving and spiritual, you cant help but be taken in by it IMHO
I'll take this one as my desert Island disk..

That's the problem with liking bunk things: when you hear something that is truly excellent, you are tragically confused.

I agree. I think if you spent 6 months without listening to Dirty Work to let your hearing and taste recover, and came back to "MoonLight Mile" you would hear something completely different from what you hear now.

How do you even call yourselves Stones fans? ... absurd ratings for all-time classic tracks!

Only WH is a classic among those songs, though. I love them all, but find Sway the weakest one on the album. A good track, nothing special, imo.

Sway and 'weakest' should never be in the same sentence. Not even sure where to start on the 'nothing special', other than to link the track talk for Sway:Quote

The only rating I see above that is unreasonable is You gotta move a 1/10. I'm guessing some bully stole redhotcarpet's lunch money the first time he heard that song and he is still traumatized. You Gotta Move is as Stonsey as it gets.
