Kind of similar to overrated/underrated, I'll admit. There are the usual suspects like Streets of Love or Indian Girl, where I see some reasoning is involved, even if I disagree, but sometimes the musical tastes within the Stones canon by the folks here leave me scratching my head. I'll confine myself to songs done by the current band lineup (Black and Blue to now) to minimize "personnel selection bias".
Shamed for no good reason:
Fool to Cry
Lies
Hot Stuff
Infamy
Shattered
Brand New Car
Hang Fire
She Saw Me Coming
Inexplicably Put on a Pedestal:
Terrifying
Harlem Shuffle
Sex Drive
This Place is Empty
Rain Fall Down
Laugh, I Nearly Died

I have said it many times:
"Streets Of Love" is a fine song and a standout track.
It's pop and it's sleazy, but so what? The Stones have never relied too much on a certain style and those who prefer them playing c***-rock-riff songs all the time, are simply trying to put them in a certain box of style. One of the reasons The Stones are better than most, is because they a great songwriters and "Streets Of Love" is a fine fully developed composition. Those who witnessed the song on the 2005-07 tour, knows that it had tremendous effect on audiences.

At least Infamy is shamed for good reason, imo. Very uninteresting, very uninspired Keith-song.
I often scratch my head reading comments on certain songs... but it´s all a matter of personal taste in the end... Others maybe scratch their heads when reading my posts, especially when it´s about the glorious Dirty Work album...

I always liked "Sweethearts Together", which seems to get substantially trashed on this board. Mick & Keith singing together, the great Flaco Jimenez on accordion, and some killer doo-wop b/g vox. Pleasant throwback-type tune, something a little different.

I'm not crazy on the lyrics of that Rice Krispies song ...

Rock and a hard place generally gets a justified bad rap from any serious fan, bland and boring.
