Love 'em all. It's an 8-way tie for first place! proceeds split evenly.

As I said before, (Billy, I AM hopeless!!!),

HOt stuff and melody are the best of the lot.
Memory, Fool and Hand of Fate are also excellent, but I prefer the other two.
Negrita and Crazy mama, both very good but somehow incomplete (they both start very strong but never truly take off).
Cherry oh baby is plain boring.

All in all a great album!

HOT STUFF--is the very best song ever recorded.....ha

1. memory motel..one of the best stones tracks ever recorded.
2. hand of fate-killer guitars & killer vocals..love it.yes i do!
3. melody. has some great jazz grooves, called the albums most original and strongest cut...it swings. lots of fans, (teens) don't like this track because its not rock or pop..more of a jazz/blues track..
4. crazy mama, keith on bass and lead..jagger on rhythm. basis hard stones track.
5. fool to cry...nice piano's by nicky h. & jagger.
6. hot stuff. too long.
7. hey negrita. just never liked this track.
8. cherry oh baby. didn't like it all when it 1st came out.not big into reggae.
but like it more now..

in fact after getting the new virgin releses of this album.. i love it..
i think its too short.almost like a casting call for a new guitar player than a true rolling stones album.. if they had a few more tracks, i think it could be one of their best....WITH WOODIE in place, look what they did on their next album? SOME GIRLS!

It is difficult to rank, but I consider "Memory Motel" the best, also great "Hey Negrita", "Hand of Fate", "Melody".

Memory Motel
Crazy Mama
Melody
Hand of Fate
Cherry Oh Baby
Hot Stuff
Hey Negrita
Fool To Cry



Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

They are all great and among their very best with two exceptions: CHerry oh baby and Melody.
