Y'all are too late...they already made their worst CD. It's called Satanic Majesties.

Well they did a fine encore in 1986...

Some obvious choices there, but some people really need their arses kicked with steel toe-capped boots for some of these appalling lapses in taste

HEARTBREAKER? Not on the 'worst' list. . .probably not on the 'best' list either, but keep it off the 'worst' list - IMO



The police in New York City. . . .put a bullet in his heart. . .heartbreaker w/ your 44's

heartbreaker - contrived drivel - was ahead of it's time in a sense - they perfected the art-form the following decade...

Majesties is way better than either DW of SW!

Citadel!

2,000 Man!

The Lantern!

2,000 Light Years from Home!

For me a worst has to consist of exclusively post '83 material--there's so much to choose from.

Heartbreaker, Almost Hear You Sigh or Little T&A among the worst????????
Oh my...

Georgelicks,

Do you have the current soundscan totals for the latest Stones release, as well as for McCartney?

How did you like the Stones and U2 shows? I saw you got Mothers Of The Disappeared at the March 2nd show. I still need to see that song live.

>>Do you have the current soundscan totals for the latest Stones release, as well as for McCartney?

Both albums are on the 500k mark now and both are out of the top 200.


>>How did you like the Stones and U2 shows? I saw you got Mothers Of The Disappeared at the March 2nd show. I still need to see that song live.

I went to both shows, Feb 21 & 23 (Stones) and March 1 (U2). IMO, the Stones show was a lot better. U2's show was most emotional, but TOO EMOTIONAL to my taste. The Stones were 2 hours of R&R with people going crazy, jumpin' and dancing. U2's show was quiet and the people went to the SEE the show and not to be a PART of it, as with the Stones.

Yeah. Combile 15 tracks from Bridges to Babylon and A Bigger Dump and you've got the worst of The Stones.

Cherry Oh Baby
My Girl
Lies
Think I'm Going Mad (B-side of something, can't remember)
Sex Drive

Half of "Dirty Work" is Horrible (Keith stuff, Back to Zero/Winning Ugly) other half is great (One Hit, Hold Back, Had it With You, Dirty Work)

You can take the best songs off of "Steel Wheels", "Voodoo Lounge", and "Bridges to Babylon" and make one EXCELLENT ALBUM, Maybe almost a 1.5 Album.....

With EMOTIONAL RESCUE and DIRTY WORK they already released their 'Worst' CD. What else can you expect.
Heartbreaker is a great song but a dull mix in the studio version. But it is terrific live in London 1973.

Oh my God; some of you mentioned Heartbreaker!!! How is that possible. Heartbreaker is possibly the best ever Stones-rocker. Beautiful guitars etc.

Could you please give some arguments on that, honestly I'd like to hear. I understand Back To Zero, Gomper or Cherry Oh Baby but Heartbreaker......

The worst in my opinion has to be Feel On Baby.

Goat's Head Soup is possibly the best Stones album (Winter, Heartbreaker, Coming Down, Angie, especially Hundred Years Ago etc.)

Hello,

I just received a call from your mental institution. They want you back in there, now!

It's a really tough exercise

Back to Zero
Blinded by Love
Sweethearts Together
Continental drift
Losing my touch
Cherry Oh Baby
Hold back
Back to zero
Neo con
Through the lonely nights
Gomper
I'd Much Rather Be with the boys

But each time I type in a song title I start humming the song ...
Please help make a serious list, so afterwards I can burn a copy with worst songs and listen to it all the time.

speachless

I think Hold Back, Through the Lonely Nights, Continental Drift, Gomper (gotta take Satanic Majesties as a complete trippy package. It's really pretty interesting these days. Citadel/2000 Man/She's a Rainbow/2000 Light Years - there's some interesting s**t on there - who would have thought) and Neocon's are not too bad. I'll go with the rest of the list. A few other ain't super rock bottom but, dif. tastes...

Some funny choices here. For instance, I'd would never place Heartbreaker, Where The Boys Go, Terrifying or Almost Hear You Sigh on this kind of list (But then again; this makes music fun - different taste...). My suggestions:

1. Congratulations
2. I'd Much Rather Be With The Boys
3. Sing This All Together
4. (Walkin' Through) The Sleepy City
5. Cool, Calm, Collected
6. The Singer Not The Song
7. Indian Girl
8. Might As Well Get Juiced
9. Suck On The Jugular

Back To Zero barely escaped because of Keith's brilliant rhythm guitar playing on the track

Now I am speechless.
7. Indian Girl ....
But "Might as well get juiced" is a good one.

66 Please Go Home
67 Gomper
76 Cherry Oh Baby
86 Back to Zero
86 Hold back
86 Back to zero
89 Sweethearts Together
89 Continental drift
94 Suck On The Jugular
94 Blinded by Love
97 Might as well get juiced
02 Losing my touch
05 Neo con

(Walkin' Through) The Sleepy City
I'd Much Rather Be with the boys

Including things from Metamorphosis is a bit cheating, because they never authorized that release as far as I know. Help is needed, cause I want to burn that CD.

<Help is needed, cause I want to burn that CD.>

Is a vinyl conversion good enough for you (BTW, I love the warm sound on vinyl conversions)?

you should burn yourself instead for choosing Continental Drift - one of the best songs theyve ever done and certainly their best song in the last 2 decades

you obviously must hate Back To Zero, Whale - as youve listed it twice.

Oooops! I forgot the awfulness of Neo-Con!

good song. Great horns. Always a treat when played live. Especially in '73

I love it. Especially the 12" dub version (I normally hate those things too)
