as much as i love the world's greatest rock and roll band, i can safely say there are a few songs they've recorded that i can do without. i would like to start a thread that explores stones fans' LEAST favorite tracks. i'll start. in reverse chronological order, they are

streets of love
stealing my heart
hold back
memory motel
have you seen your mother, baby...


what are yours?

drew

Stealing My Heart
Losing My Touch
Heaven
Cherry Oh Baby
Hold Back
Feel On Baby
Back To Zero

I suspect, as from other similar threads in the past, that 'Back to Zero' will be one of the worst Stone Stinkers.

I just don't get it, all those threads: worst stones album, worst stones song, etcetera.
I could maybe say: "this or that is my favorite stones record, or song" . But that would
change every week. I can not possibly say, "this is their worst track". Cause that would imply I dislike listening to it. And I cannot imagine one single track I dislike listening to.

HERE HERE !

Actually Key To Your Heart is a brilliant track! I'd love to hear it on the new tour!

percystokes

What do you mean? Again I don't get it.

Under the Boardwalk
Hold Back
Blinded by Love
Sparks Will Fly
Rock and a Hard Place
Losing my Touch

Sorry to confuse you
I am just agreeing with you Whale

I think you wanted to write "hear, hear" instead of "here here", percystrokes?

I actually never liked Fool To Cry, I generally hate when Jagger sings falsetto...and I dislike quite some songs on Dirty Work and Undercover.

Wouldn't it be a miracle if you loved all songs the Stones ever recorded ?
How much songs did they record over the years, 120.000 ?
There will always be one guy in the world that doesn't like one of that songs.

My absolute least favorite has to be Fool To Cry. Actually, to use the word favorite here is no good...I hate that song!

ALL THOSE SONGS ARE JUST MAGIC. IT SEEMS A STONE GIVE US SONGS ONLY IF HE S PROUD OF THEM. AND I THINK JAGGER CAN BE PROUD WITH ALL HIS SOLO WORK. ISN T THE SONG PRIMITIVE COOL A BAD SONG ?

Sweethearts Together
Title track ER
Ditto Undercover

332. But thats pretty close, I guess....

Another vote for "Hold Back" from me. Truly unlistenable

Sing This All Together (See what happens) and Anyway You look At It would be close

Fool To Cry (although I love Keith's guitar when they did it live in 1976)

Where The Boys Go

Might As Well Get Juiced (I know there is a cool blues tune in there somewhere but can't get past those horrible techno effects)

Sweethearts Together
Too Rude
My Girl
Luxury
Cherry Oh Baby
Ain't No Use in Cryin'
Feel on Baby
Sing This All Together
High and Dry
Any Way You Look At It

Too Much Blood
Can You Hear the Music
Gun
Fingerprint File
Sing this Song All Together (reprise)
Back to Zero
It Must be Hell
Indian Girl


Nothing at all from the Jones period (well, one). The London years were remarkably consistent, in my view.

Karl

ps: I can't BELIEVE you Hold Back haters! A classic in my book.

Emotional rescue
Summer Romance
Where the boys go
Harlem shuffle

There are many songs I love in your lists... Summer Romance, Where The Boys Go, Fingerprint File, Memory Motel... well, tastes are different


Belgrade-Bucharest-Budapest-Brno

Rock And A Hard Place is a fairly popular song that makes me cringe. The chorus just repeats over and over on and on!

Ross

Rock And A Hard Place
Sex Drive

Where The Boys Go -- least favorite by far.
Might As Well Get Juiced
Too Much Blood
If You Really Want to Be my Friend

sweethearts together...it just isn't my cup of tea, but I know some pople who like it a lot.

"got to be worked on
don't have no bark nor bite..."

O.k. Gazza, you got me there.
But I was close.
My least favorite song is the one they didn't write yet.
Title must be: Get off of my grave !

Just listened to Dirty Work and.......

When it came to Too Rude and further... I can say I could have been without the songs.... I rushed through the songs.....

The songs I tend to skip are:

Angie
Down in the Hole
Fool to Cry
All About You
If You Really Want to be My Friend
All Down the Line
You Gotta Move
Sister Morphine

Mother's Little Helper
Suprise Suprise
Back to Zero
Sweethearts Together
Suck on the Jugular
Hot Stuff
Must Be Hell

looks like, so far, hold back is winning (if that's the right word). sweethearts together, rock & a hard place, and emotional rescue seem to be frequent vote-getters as well.

but the polls are still open, so maybe a darkhorse 'winner' will emerge...

must be some book, Karl

awful gnarling, barking vocals
the worst drumming on any Stones record - EVER
a mix that was obviously supervised by a baboon (and not a baboon bro)
absolutely nothing remotely resembling a melody

The lyrics actually arent bad. They're just struggling in vain to find a tune to place themselves in
