Shot of Love is good but uneven. Same with Trust, which was the first EC album that wasn't GREAT, imo....
1981 happened in the 80's...and, well, we know what happened to music in the 80's....

We disagree here..."Trust" is a minor masterpiece. Elegant songs with lovely arrangements. Every bit as good as the ones that came before it...just different.

Was the Stones "Tattoo You" the best album of 1981?

No it wasn't. But "Start me up" was, at least in my mind, the best classic rock-song of the year 1981 (almost 30 years ago, think of it...). Look at the song's longevity: it is still played around hockeyarenas and still gets some radio rotation.

Yes, was considered ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
Are you kidding me? The ballads are great! There is no Angie-like atypical stuff on Tattoo You. Putting them all on side B was still a smart move, though.Quote

It was a very well produced album (albeit with too many ballads).
