: 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.
What???????????? Gimme Shelter is the definitive "Vietnam" song. I make my witness because I was there......slugging it out with Charlie, shooting Smack, .........while all you fine people...........................................Hey, Wait a minute, where did my Smack go?????????? Oh no......I have lost me Smack. Joey.
