Made a playlist of ballads (all LP versions, no edit versions) for some reason, with the mindset being part hits, part deep cuts (or whatever people say about non-hit tracks). It's not ALL of their ballads, that would be a bit too long, seeing that it's quite long as it is already.
I've found it quite interesting, not hearing the roaring tracks like Jumpin' Jack Flash and She Was Hot and Crazy Mama and Brown Sugar and Hang Fire and CYHMK and If You Can't Rock Me etc that are the usual for what I listen to of the Stones.

That's more a Blues .
[Is a typical slow Blues also a ballad ? A Good question perhaps ? ]

Admittedly, I'm not fully convinced by the song either. The intro and verses are simply great, musically and playingwise, but for me all the atmosphere building up there is then destroyed by the bridge and chorus. They somehow don't fit, different vibe. But I still prefer it to certain other ballads. I never cared much about the lyrics

Do you know what a ballad is?

I know nothing about counting out music as my dictionary explanation of ‘ballad’ alluded
But the song ‘Summer Romance’
has a repetitive structure like described?
More importantly, why does Gas Light Street need a tale of RS ballads?

back when ballads were ballads there was supposed to be a King Arthur reference too but apparently we’re way past that now.
