The Rolling Stones "Heart of Stone" The Rolling Stones "Back Street Girl"
Their best ballads - maybe their only great ballads. In both of those, the words go to war with the ballad feel, and the balladry goes to war with the words. (I'd say "Lady Jane" has merits as a song, and there's some good melody in "Angie" and "As Tears Go By," but those tracks are weak performances.)
