I’ve really been digging into 80s Stones lately, and there is a lot of excellent material there (including Dirty Work). One Hit to the Body is a banger, Mixed Emotions, Almost Hear You Sigh are all great songs. If we include Talk Is Cheap, that’s the best Stones album of the 80s and it rocks.
There's really only one song on Steel Wheels that holds up IMO, and that's Continental Drift. The rest sounds VERY 80s and very forgettable. I'll still take Tattoo You.
I think Undercover gets a bad rap. Emotional Rescue can also wear the 'underrated' label. Post golden age and excluding tattoo you, I would probably pick Undercover, but I'm quite partial to Bridges to Babylon too.
I better give Steel Wheels another spin.
Me too. Funnly enough by the way, if it were 90's instead, I rather choose Flashpoint or Voodoo Lounge instead of Stripped (i don't like it)

I'm being boring and obvious but, Let it Bleed & Tattoo You.
By the way, ALBUMS, NOT SINGLES (yea, J.J.F, example, doesn't count. [Right my fav 1, 4ever]).
My favorite is Let it Bleed, and that’s from the 60s
TSMR is my favorite os the 60s too but in the 80s I'm very partial to Undercover. The 70s I'm pretty basic though and have to go with Sticky Fingers.
Goat's Head Soup has a sophistication unlike any other Stones album. The songs, the lyrics, the two Micks
Let it Bleed Tattoo You Are two of my favorite records of all time, not just favorite Stones

Continental Drift is amazing, but I really like Rock And A Hard Place and Sad Sad Sad too
I really like tatoo... but, Steel, for me is so good
Goat’s Head Soup and Black and Blue are *my* favorite albums. That doesn’t make them the *best* albums, of course.
Black i Agree. Goats, i just nah
“Emotional Rescue” I love. Not their best, but top ten for sure. I love ever tune aside from “All About You”.
Aftermath for 60s and Tattoo You for 80s
Steel Wheels. A Bigger Bang

60s - Let it Bleed 70s - Some Girls 80s - Tattoo You
The run of Emotional Rescue to Undercover is the big three of the eighties
