I must say that I like both songs the same, but I like recent versions of "Let It Bleed" more than those of "Dead Flowers", because they are more edgy, like "Dead Flowers" was in 1971-72. I think both are typical Stones songs, musically and in terms of lyrics.
I loved the duet with Dave Matthews (Well, I never liked their version of "Memory Motel") when Dave just growls "But she knifes me in my dirty, filthy basement...".
Also, "Let It Bleed" features one of my favourite lines ever: "Take my arm, take my leg, oh baby, don't you take my head".
Let It Bleed: 10 out of 10
Dead Flowers: 9,5 out of 10
