I'd say better than SG.

ER / TY / Undercover / Stripped were better IMHO.

Steel Wheels is a great album.

Anything is better than Some Girls. Except Undercover, ER and DW.

My three favourite post-Tattoo You RS albums are Dirty Work, Steel Wheels v& Bridges To Babylon.

I love em (own em) ALL..... as should everyone
As usual, every Stones release has some awesomeness and some duds, it is what it is.

The thread I have been waiting for. Bridges is a strong album and the 97-99 tour was one of their best. They were on such a good path in the late nineties but they lost it. In 1997 Keith Richards said everything was better than saying "just let us be the Rolling Stones". In 2002 the same man said about the four new tracks: "We just wanted to show that we are still alive". What a decline.

and i love that No Security Cd, they are on fire here, the sound is beautyful, a lot of "new" songs and few "hits", even the pictures are great! i love this bridges to babylon era, i hope they do something half as fun soon..

yes i agree, but aside from that, they do things on this, even in the " so-so" songs like Hearts for Sale, that you think " how did they come up with this??" ...nothing like this can i find in Bigger Bang......i still like though..

I would agree SINCE Some Girls. Some Girls was great!

Both are great discs for me, thaks to B2B i went to see them for shows here in Mexico, then as my uncle worked for EMI (he was removed because the piracy) he gift to me the No Security cd at date was released!

since the 1998 i fall sick with the stones! i dont think B2B was a great album, but they still have the touch on that and in my opinion the tour was the last where we can see them full energy and most important they still PLAY in concert, Keith really was amazing with guitar. then 2002-2007 they depend too much from backing vocals and musicians as Chuck or Blondie.

SW is good, even if the mix is weak. When they did ABB they had lost great parts of their passion, they played four songs of the album in the beginning of the tour but they did not believe in it, so great songs like BOMH vanished.

1. Tattoo You
2. Steel Wheels
3. Bigger Bang
4. Undercover
5. Emotional Rescue
6. Voodoo Lounge
7. Bridges to Babylon
8. Dirty Work

they should hire Chris Kimsey for a new CD..IM NOT KIDDING.

No Security is outstanding. I've always thought it underated. The Last Time kicks ass as does Sister Morphine.

maybe Dave stewart..................................

Chris Kimsey did work very well for the Stones but there will not be a new album.

BB and NS were thrilling times for Stones fans. Yeah, Bill is gone. But there is a lot of tension on that disc. Reconciling the past with the now and future. Which created some very fun rock and roll. No way though would I be able to say it is better than Some Girls. SG was the quintessential best album since Exile. They reached back to the grubby clubs of yesteryear and injected it with their rock and roll bravado that brings on that thrilling ride. They punk, they rock, they vamp, and slink around so many styles on SG, which staying close to the core rock sound they excel at.

This is the sound of the stones in midlife crisis.

BtoB was not great, but a few great songs. No Security is very good, save Dave Mathews.

No Security the CD sucks as a representation of that thrilling tour of '99. The cuts aren't even from the tour! They're from the flaccid Bridges to Babylon tour of '97-'98. I'm surprised no one has put together a bootleg DVD of cuts from the No Security tour, they're all over the internet.

Bridges to Babylon simply fails on repeat listening. Except for 'You Don't Have to Mean It'.

(insert Emily Litella rebut here)

"Bridges" is a great CD, the last great Stones full-length so far. In 2002, they would have had another full-length album in them but they chose to do 4 new songs only. They could have easily written and recorded enough material for a full album right there and then during the "Licks" sessions but they chose not to. Instead, they were fully content with the money that kept pouring in from the first joint Promotone/ABKCO release ever. It's a good compilation but that's how you become a catalogue artist which is no longer relevant: by just giving it up and not believing that there still is interest in new material (which still is there, by the way).

"A Bigger Bang" unfortunately suffers from production flaws of the mid- to late 2000s era and has the "swan song" all written over its album title as it alludes to the saying "They went out with a bang". Yet, I like its length because fans got "A Bigger Bang for their bucks" as another saying would go.

(aside)

Hey "Max'sKansasCity": did you ever hang there? I Would love to hear some stories.
