It's becoming more and more popular to hate the Rolling Stones.  They've been places. They have some all-time greatest songs and are all-time recognizable performers.  Yet they've put out 30 (studio) albums and casual listeners would have a hard time naming 30 of their songs.

I'm kind of with weddingsinger.  60 years 30 albums (plus 12 live albums and a million other compilations) and hundreds of songs you've only heard once or twice or never.  But if I hear Brown Sugar or Beast of Burden for the thousandth time for more than 5 seconds I twitch.

I just happen to be almost done going through their discography, thanks to a nice combo of YouTube and adblock, so I'll chimie in with "anything that Keef sings on." He's not a terrible vocalist; it's just that it doesn't sound like a Stones song without Mick.

They've been around for decades and have released dozens of albums, some in the 1980's.  Of course they're going to release some clunkers.

Beatles did too.

Deal with it.

If there was one Rolling Stones song that I would pick as their worst, it would be "Angie." That song makes my skin crawl every time I hear it's maudlin strings and Jagger's attempts at sounding heartfelt. It just doesn't work for me.

Same with Led Zeppelin's "All of my Love." Yes, I know it was dedicated to Robert Plant's son who died while on tour, but that doesn't make it any easier to listen to.

What's far worse for me is that because of "Angie", every other rock band felt the need to put out their own cheesy rock ballad.  So we have to hear cringe shiat like "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" in supposed rock mixes.  Stay in your lane people.


Same with Led Zeppelin's "All of my Love." Yes, I know it was dedicated to Robert Plant's son who died while on tour, but that doesn't make it any easier to listen to.

There are at least two very obvious mistakes during the keyboard solo in that song, which frankly is just lazy recording/editing.

I have more vinyl than all of you combined. I master records for vinyl as a job. Exactly one LP out of the 2.5k or so is a Rolling Stones record, and it's never been played. I like me some weird and gully music; I have OPs from Mrs Miller, David Allan Coe, Al Jolson and Burzum. They all get more plays than the Stones' crappy bar band schtick. Mick is the worst singer in rock this side of Anthony Kiedis and Isaac Brock, and Charlie Watts was the only one of those little uggo troll men to have anything approaching a sense of time. If you listen to that half-assed drunk crap, you deserve to. The Stones have always sucked.

Personally I find Angie to be one of their best. Mick's singing comes across as honest and a bit pained. To each his or her own....

I truly dislike the Stone's Wild Horses. There are a few covers out there that really do that song justice IMHO, The Sundays, for example.

*Cringe*

I guess I shouldn't have expected better from clickbait. The phrase is "war-torn" and always has been. If you Google "worn-torn" without quotes, it gives you results for "war-torn." The only other time I've seen someone make this mistake in my life was by a teenage kid on social media a decade ago.

While stationed in Germany in the mid-1990s, we'd be driving around the countryside and often see tractors on the road. One of my buddies was playing Judas Priest's "Turbo" on cassette and "Turbo Lover" came on just as we got behind a big tractor w/"TURBO" on the back of it. 
I started singing (poorly) "I'm your turbo FARMERRRRRR, spreading manuer like no OTHHHEEERRRRR" and for the rest of our collective time there, those were the lyrics to the song whenever we heard it.

"Fool to cry" would get me a slap from my mom when it came on the radio back in the day. I'd always, without fail, try to go toe to toe with Mick's vocals at the climax.

Seems like a top 12 worst Stones songs list would be dominated by nuggets from cash-in trash albums like Bridges to Babylon and A Bigger Bang. As a fan I've listened to both and there's no comparison to their worst album filler from the 70's, or even the 80's.

Except Laugh, I Nearly Died from A Bigger Bang. Great writing, fantastic vocals by Mick, real enthusiasm from Charlie Watts, definitely up to Stones standard as far as I'm concerned. But the rest? From their last three albums of original music you could easily compile a "top 30 worst Stones songs list" before you had to start plumbing the depths of Steel Wheels and Dirty Work, let alone anything from the '70s.

I dunno, I can pretty much enjoy any Stones record when it pops up on shuffle. I'm actually less likely to skip newer stuff because I've likely only heard it once or twice when the record was new, as opposed to Sticky Fingers/Let it Bleed which I've legit worn out multiple copies of.

The closest I can think of to a 'bad' song was Ruthless People.  Attached to a movie that didn't do well(and a Weird Al parody done ahead of time), it just didn't perform like everyone expected.

I'm not a fan of the Stones, at all, but wow you sound pretentious as fark.

I'm not even sure that you can aptly call this a song. It's just an assortment of carnivalesque sounds that has sailed over the pretentious sea from the Democratic Republic of Faecal Flingers on HMS Clownshoe to blight the brilliant era with an Achilles heel of overcooked nonsense. It's like being waterboarded by the spit spray of whichever factualist is playing the brass. A strange sort of self-indulgence whereby you can't even fathom who is being indulged.

TFA is excessively pretentious, but at least the writer realized it. That last sentence is calling out the rest of the paragraph, right?

I apparently deserve one for not liking Keith's singing. Ah well, you can own all the vinyl and high-end equipment in the world, listen and read and study night and day, and art is still always going to be subjective.

They illustrate my loose rule of thumb that a band's best period probably happens in the ten years following their first album. With the Stones, I think it concludes with Exile on Main Street.

His attempt at "Country" in Faraway Eyes is no winner, either.  It sounds almost parodic until you realize it isn't; it's just terrible.
