: : Christophoros came up with this idea below but left no answer. Since it friday and things are slow I'll start a new thread with my answer.
: : Most overrated Stones album for me is EOMS. That should not surprise anyone here who knows me. Please note that doesn't mean I don't like it, it just always seemed overrated to me. A close second would go to Steel Wheels which I never understood all the hype it got when it came out. Overrated song? Gimme Shelter. I very much like this song. It makes my top forty Stones song list (35). But it seems that most Stones fans like this song the best if you go by our on going song poll. Not me. Yes its a good song, but IMO, overrated.
: Most overrated album? My vote goes to...Exile on Main Street & Aftermath (yeah, the 4 initial songs are classics, but the rest of the album is pretty borin'...)
What are the four initial songs of Exile and what the four of Aftermath in your opinion.
: And...most overrated song? My vote goes to Sister Morphine (yuck!)
Sister Morphine is a sad and angry song, but that' s just what makes it so great to me. If you prepare for your golden fix, you say the same as Mick there.
