There is one that was fortunately not finished for VOODOO LOUNGE that sounds like Jagger wannabeing Kenny Loggins with that horrible Danger Zone song, whatever it's called; Sweethearts Together,Keys To Your Love, Stealing Your Heart - whatever those 2 awful songs on FORTY LICKS are called; Might As Well Get Juiced, Gunface, Always Already Over Suffering Me and possibly the biggest worst one this side of DIRTY WORK, Streets Of Love (and the demolition that is Following The River) are the kind of songs to be terrified of having on the what looks to be the last studio album of originals by the Stones if or whenever it comes out.
That's what I meant, although I would partly choose other songs as "great" or "bad". I like Might As Well Get Juice and Gunface for instance, even Sweet Neo-Con. There were some - maybe 10 or 15 - real great songs since, hmmm, 1989, many good ones, fewer not so good ones and another 10-15 poor ones, incl. most 2002 tracks. On Beggars Banquet and Sticky Fingers there were 10 great songs each. That's another band.

I think they wrote "crap" as well in the 60s and 70s but wisely didn´t put it on an album like they did in the 90s. The 74-min-capacity of CD´s maybe made them think "more music to the people". Not a good decision. Think of 40min-masterpiece SF stretched to 68 min using subpar and mediocre material. It would have been completely ruined. And so are VL, B2B & ABB. Basically very good albums, but ruined by the incredible amount of fillers (VL & B2B most of all).
My homemade version of B2B runs 37 minutes and is pure delight, much better than, say, SG or GHS, IORR. Most of all it´s the fillers that make latter-day-albums seem weak.

The problem is: EVERYONE has their own favorite VL, B2B and ABB version so how can they cut a crap song as STREET OF LOVE or SUCK ON THE JUGULAR when many fans are including it on their playlist?
Which song is filler?
I've seen list with almost any song included on VL or ABB as filler.
The result is: we put everything out and anyone can pick up their favorite songs.
Thank god they released a good, short and direct album as Blue and Lonesome, 42 minutes, no filler, a great flow... yet many people wants more songs, bonus tracks, B sides, etc.
It's impossible to please all people.

I don't get the Dirty Work hate or the hate for Streets Of Love.
I like em all, and I enjoy Keys To Your Love
Different strokes I guess

I'm the 2nd or 3rd biggest DW fan here (and there are only three I guess), great great album. Stones go hard rock, that is what this one is about. But Keys To Your Love is just bad. The only new song on FL which is pretty good is Stealing My Heart or how was it called? But this is still substandard.

Keys To Your Love, Don´t Stop, Stealing My Heart & Losing My Touch are good-to very good songs, although a bit mellow sounding and rather poppish tunes... I like the Stones more aggressive, more powerful. But the songs are ok. Losing My Touch is the best.

I'm one of the other 2 or 3 that like DW. I totally get that it is not classic Stones but it does rock out. I love the guitar work on the album. One reviewer at the time said that if the tension and angst between Mick and Keith could create that kind of music it should be bottled and sold.

The issue is it's not good rocking out. And that was strictly tow-the-line hype for a non-functioning band releasing their worst ever album to get attention. It's pathetic.

I think DW is better than halfbaked pop albums like GHS or ER. It's also a matter of taste.

It looks like the Stones may do some more recording in London later in February, with the aim of having a new album of original material done in time for the summer tour, if there is one. We'll see.
