Brown Sugar is an abysmal song, one of the worst of all time, and has absolutely no redeemable traits. I am shocked that to this day it's considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Albeit, I don't have much respect for 'rock history', and it's bizarre slanted view, I don't understand how exactly this turd which is by far one of the Rolling Stones worst songs, can be so highly rated, and even by the standards of the darkest end of their overrated catalog, it's completely ridiculous.
I find it especially bad considering old fart classic rockers would covet it, and hold it as a protest against Justin Biebar, and Britney Spears even though it's obviously equally inane, and even more simplistic, and over-repetetive.

From a compositional, or lyrical aspect, I'd like to know how Brown Sugar is necessarily more mature.

Compositionally, "Baby" is yet another manufactured commercial piece of garbage featuring uninteresting instrumentation (if you can call electronic "thump thump thumping" instrumentation), whereas Brown Sugar has "blues-rock riffs, a dual horn/guitar instrumental break, and danceable rock rhythms". Clearly the work of a band, in a studio, instead of a producer with a Mac. I don't know, I just can't even fathom the comparison. |

Baby at least has some rhythmic consistency. Not just the feeling it's cycling randomly through two completely disconnected melodies for seemingly now purpose. Now, I'm obviously a fan of jumpy music, but Brown Sugar is not trying to be 'jumpy' it's trying to be a catchy pop song. In that sense, it lacks the essence of any building subtlety. It's not an artistic quirk, it's just poor songwriting. Furthermore, the lyrics themselves are just scattered with bizarrely politically incorrect themes for shock value. I'd say they're obviously more well thought out, but not necessarily more mature. I can't say I am offended, but it's not interesting or humorous enough to elevate the song above the state of 'cheap sex song'. It's a miserably bad song, and a shallow inane disaster. The Rolling Stones CAN write decent songs(Sympathy for the Devil), but it doesn't mean that this song is anything more than a stinking turd. Furthermore, I'm 99% sure this song would be looked at in a different light if you replaced the guitar with today's more acceptable pop textures, gave it the exact same notation, and people who love it today would ****ing loathe it.
