Considering what did make BRIDGES TO BABYLON that is terrible and what was not finished for VOODOO LOUNGE and some of the horrible tracks that went on it, Mick's idea of what is good and bad is moot: he has no clue.
GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY is a testament to that.

Yeah, I am curious what happened to it. I wondered if we would have heard things like "Thief in the Night" with Mick on lead vocals or "You Don't Have To Mean It" done Tex-Mex style. The problem of course is anyone who works with them describes these lost tracks as "amazing." It's hard to know what is just being star-struck or a yes-man and what truly was a gem worth uncovering. Overall, I tend to agree with Mick and feel they developed their best material and what was relegated to B-sides or left to languish in the vaults was not as strong.
I believe "Ever Changing World" was one of the first tracks Don Was mentioned in an L.A. Times interview around July 1997. If memory serves, most or all of the unreleased tracks James Karnbach and Nico list come from the extensive Rob Fraboni interview with Stones People Magazine at that time.

I never understand taking opinions personally. I love VOODOO LOUNGE and BTB and you don't. It never made me dislike you for a second. I really like Hideaway, Too Far Gone, and Dancing in the Starlight but didn't care much for the rest of GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY. They're opinions. They're not right and wrong unless someone says something insane like "Flip the Switch" had as big an impact on 20th Century pop culture as "Jumping Jack Flash."
