Not necessarily bad songs but where the hell are the good songs? The album is loaded with boring ballads and second-rate rockers. Even the best songs on it (Star Star, Hide Your Love, Heartbreaker) are miles away from SF- or Exile-quality... and to be honest, there are some bad songs on GHS, not as awful as Streets Of Love, Moonlight Mile, Out Of Tears, Rock And A Hard Place, Indian Girl, New Faces, Thief In The Night, Out Of Control, Blinded By Love, Sweethearts Together, Saint Of Me, Always Suffering, Already Over Me but nevertheless sub-standard, namely Coming Down Again, Winter, Can You Hear The Music with Coming Down Again obviously being the most boring Stones-song ever.
Top-10-albums? Well let´s go:
01 Sticky Fingers
02 Let It Bleed
03 Beggars Banquet
04 Black And Blue
05 Exile On Main Street
06 Dirty Work
07 Emotional Rescue
08 Undercover
09 The Rolling Stones
10 Blue And Lonesome
No TY of course...
TY = no regular studio album.
TY = compilation.

TY: No songs were especially written for that album. It´s all old material. For all other studio albums they went into the studio recording at least mostly brandnew songs. TY = compiled by the producer, finished by Mick without any or only minor new contributions by other band members. Half of it is from 1973-75 - That´s simply not the way new studio albums are created, therefor TY = no regular studio album. Anyone can see that.
A good one, but not a new one. They were cheating on us and gave us a fake album, back then I indeed thought they had invited MT to guest on brandnew songs. TY is just the same as most of the bonus material on Exile deluxe and nobody would say Exile deluxe is a regular new studio album. A Bigger Bang is a regular studio album, Blue And Lonesome is a regular studio album, even Black And Blue is a regular studio album although it took them rather long time to finish it. TY isn´t a regular studio album.

Neighbours & Heaven were brand new songs especially written to go on TY.

That means that Sticky Fingers and Exile aren't real albums...

To me one vital question is: What did the band in each case intend their release to be?

As there are several 1968/1969-songs on SF and Exile, those songs probably were intended for release on earlier albums.

I did not say recording, but release. That is, it was more or less a rhetorical question: What did the band mean, for instance, TATTOO YOU as?
