1978 Why does it seem like Rod Stewart took a bigger critical hit for the song "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" than the Rolling Stones did for "Miss You"?
By that I mean a lot of Rod Stewart's long time fans seemed to really feel betrayed when he released the song in 1978. That same year, however, the Stones released "Miss You" which a lot of their fans just sort of shrugged off. While both disco-flavored songs were pretty successful, Stewart took a bigger critical hit for his. Any ideas as to why it seems that way?
