Kind of. It’s an underrated record though.

Saying you don’t like the Stones is to me a lot like saying you don’t like The Clash. As an opinion or a statement of fact about what you enjoy or whatever I’m incredulous. You might as well tell me you think two plus two equals five.

It’s not a knock on you it’s honestly how my brain processes it. I don’t get it.

I'm not a huge Stones fan but Gimmie Shelter is an exception and I'd say there are probably only 10-20 songs ever in the whole world I'd say are better than it so this one is no contest.

Shelter.
You sound like Elph after twelve lines of cocaine, cause only someone high as **** could think the Hand of Fate is boring.

Gimme Shelter, for that narcotic tremolo guitar/guiro intro which I could listen to forever; and for Merry Clayton taking flight on vocals pregnant and in curlers in the middle of the night – that “crack” at 2:33! Pretty amazing.

Voted for Gimme Shelter. SFM hasn't aged particularly well.
