Agreed! And in the same album, two songs with the worst set of lyrics of all time: Back To Zero & Dirty WorkQuote

A fourth tier type of song at best, no where near as good as Start Me Up or whatever was suggested.
Better than Rock And A Hard Place?
You bet. It kicks, yes. Mick howls throughout the song. But there's nothing spectacular about it - just like Luxury - it's just another album song.

"Fight" I kinda like for the reasons you've stated, although the drum sound drags it down a bit.

Same here, although I must say that the whole "Jagger-Richards fight" shining through in certain lyrics on the albums sounds extremely staged for me.

The Dirty Work album had the ingredients to be a decent album the problem is Jagger wanted to end the Stones and was not into the album at all. Fight and Hold On are two of his worst vocal performances ever in my book. If someone likes them fine but the album does not work for me. I never listen to it except One Hit which I love.
life's too short and there's way too much great music out there to waste on crap like this album...and for those who like "hold back" it really makes one wonder what rock'n'roll they DON'T like....
when and where did jagger ever state that he wanted to end the stones? this kind of crap comes from keiths endless BS and spin doctoring.micks solo was part of a multi-record STONES DEAL.keith was the one who put the entire future of the band at risk by carrying drugs over an international border,he had planned a solo album of his own as far back as 79 and he toured without the stones years before mick ever did.jagger was and still is all about the stones.he probably needed a break from working with that drunken junkie ingrate.Quote

lem - Jagger never actually stated he wanted to end the Stones but it was fairly obvious in 1985-1986 that he was not into being a Rolling Stone at all I firmly believe that has She's the Boss been a huge hit Mick would not have gone back to the Stones. Mick was not up to par on Dirty Work he was concentrating on his own stuff. He clearly did not want the Stones to do live Aid and his vocals on DW just plain suck. Did he need a break from Keitth yes I can see that and after reading Bill German's book and a couple of others I can see why the other 4 neeeded a break from a very very conceited Mick Jagger. I can see how both of them could be a real pain in the ass to work with. There is some truth in that Keith is somewhat of what you sated above but he is all about the Stones he never put a solo album out until he was sure the Mick was not committed to the band.

Rock and a Hard Place is better than anything on Dirty Work except One hit!

Luxury kicks ass, has a great groove, a great melody, a unique and instantly recognizable sound - in other words, everything that tracks like Hold Back dont have.

If Luxury is a filler, it only shows how good even fillers were 10 years or more before Dirty Works came out.
