I think it's absurd since it was the freakin first single and a great song for a sing-along!
There's a video for it-shouldn't they promote it a bit more?
maybe it's too high for Mick to sing it live (but they got all those back guys 'cause of that)?!

because its widly accepted to be utter shit

please move along

I think that they will play it a few times.Kind of like what they did in 1990 with Blinded By Love.

Because its one of the worst songs ever written.
It sucks.

"No dope smoking no beer sold after 12 o'clock"

It is the worst thing they have ever released. Mere words cannot describe how much it sucks. If they play it in concert, a plague of locusts will descend and the earth will open up and swallow the crowd.

Most stadiums don't have enough washrooms for that washroom break song.

don't ask - just be thankful

We will have yet another bathroom brake song.

In keeping with the sheer idiocy of not even filming a video for it until
after people had stopped buying it, they are no doubt planning to play the song in empty stadiums several weeks after the crowd have gone home...

works for me, Gazza

Only on this forum I would suspect. It's a great song.


I ain't stupid, I'm just guitarded.

SOL is not a great ballad, of course, but from this point to the exaggerations that "it is the worst thing they have ever released", or "it sucks" there is a huge distance. Yes, there are on ABB atleast 10 songs better to be played live. But i can remember some worse songs played live during the history of the Stones: Hot Stuff, Terrifying...

disagree,would love to hear it live.one of micks best vocal performances ever.

john scialfa

Wasn't Rough Justice the single in the US? If that's the case, it's not so strange that they choose to play that one instead?

I would love to hear it live. After all those Angie's....

The ballad section should be: Streets Of Love, Wild Horses, Memory Motel or Fool To Cry

And I just don't care if everyone would leave for drinks, washrooms, p's...

Good God Almighty, they are saving it for the french.
Bush's Revenge.lol

Angie is a brahmsian masterpiece compared with AOR-style Streets of Love!

I wonder...if Angie would have been released on ABB instead of Goats Head Soup, would many of you not be saying that IT was the worst thing they ever wrote? You would be saying things like "Mick whispers in this song! What a friggin idiot!!"

i can't believe that you hate it that much-to me it's great-far superior to,let's say-anybody seen my baby

I like it. It's a nice melody, nice vocals, a very nice guitar solo by Keith. Don't see the problem.

They don't play it because they don't want a riot towards the toilets!!

I can take it. It's not that bad...EXCEPT for the line "I was so bad". I always think "You are so gay" when he sings that line.

People are out of hand here, I think its a much better song than some past singles like Anybody Seen My Baby, Fool to Cry or Emotional Rescue. I hope they play it live soon.

well I must say it's not THAT bad - I was joking a bit, but it's not that great either....!
I'd rate alot of Jagger's solo stuff better than this song...and that's saying something!

I agree.

As said above, it was not intended to be the featured single however I don't think the song itself is that bad. I remember hearing Anybody Seen My Baby for the first time and I cringed, especially after the rap part. But my first reaction to Streets of Love is that its not that bad and has a catchy hook which many people may like. I'd like to hear them give it a try live. Yeah its a soft song, which always seem to have people stating, "this is the worst Stones song."

maybe, but theyve made two bloody videos for it...so they obviously feel some kind of need to 'promote' it!

You guys are so harsh on Mick... Ok ok ok I secretly like it, and I think their version on the Rolling stones website is great.

agreed its not 'that bad'

in actual fact its @#$%& worse!

it makes 'Don't Stop' sounds like an Exile outtake

some people have very strange ears

lol

F@#king with something that is dead?Necrophilia?
