I cannot stand that song. And Miss You always left me cold. All that falsetto crooning turned me off. I don't like Just My Imagination either. So it was never my favorite album or even close, but too many just dismissed the album as a throw-away fluke, or even the Beginning of the End for the Stones. Yeah, it's no Let it Bleed, but when it rocks, it rocks harder than a lot of other shit out there at the time.

I am with you on Beast of Burden, but dammit, like November Rain, it plays a lot in my head. Pops up all the time and won't leave. Does that mean a song has at least some merit, because it's memorable?
These days it has competition with Rhianna telling me she likes the way it hurts.
