You're telling me Sympathy with the Devil doesn't have one of the catchiest basslines ever? And it's got some sweet backup vocals too...
Actually, I think the weak tracks on Let It Bleed are at the beginning, and I don't think Aftermath really has any weak tracks. BB just doesn't do anything for me.

I never got the big deal over Sympathy, bass line or backup vocals or not. It's decent, but nothing to write home about.
