Thread Name: Worst pop song ever!
Subject: RE: Worst pop song ever!
John, I grant you that "Angie" by the Stones is pretty horrible, but that is surely by the Rolling Stones standards. I am not sure that it reaches the demanding standard of atrocity which this thread requires. Does it really deserve to be ranked alongside "Feelings", "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" or even my own candidate, "Ebony Eyes"? Played live, "Angie" was redeemed to some extent by Mick Taylor's guitar playing - and if you bought the single, you got the superb "Silver Train" on the B side. You appear to have had the good fortune never to have heard the Stones' 1976 abomination "Fool To Cry" - all about baby Jade sitting on Daddy Jagger's knee and telling him not to cry... Now there's a contender...
