this is on my short list of best Stones songs too, and the only thing that taints it is that I saw them in like 2018 and Mick couldn’t do the “with some Puerto Rican girls that’s just dyyyyyyin’ to meet you” part anymore, he just kinda danced through it 😭😭
This is my favorite Stones album as well, and when I say that, oh the looks I get. I think it’s an age thing. These were my Stones. Not the mid-60s Stones, not the early 70s Stones. 1978. That was MY Stones…Shmatta, Shmatta, Shmatta…I can’t give it away on 7th Avenue…also, my NYC…😏
I think that mirrors the way opinion has changed, critically, over the years. My brain tells me that the early Rolling Stone Record Guide, which I read cover to cover, listed it as three out of five stars. Critics saw Miss You as selling out to disco. Over time, they realized it was way cooler…
