The Steel Wheels album would have been a great one if Wandering Spirit and Talk is Cheap had not been created prior.
Wandering Spirit was released in 1993, which is after 1989 (Steel Wheels), not prior to.
That's how its done folks...cold hard fact
I hate people who cloud issues with facts.

People who think that they play as well now vs the pre-Vegas years 3) simply don't hear music like a musician and literally cannot tell how bad they are....
You don't have to be a musician to hear how they've lost a few steps. Keith can't solo anymore. Charlie's lost that snap.
The Rolling Stones are not a blues band, even for the 1-2 years when they tried to be, they were unsuccessful. The Stones are more of a 'jack-of-all-trades' band, but not a master of any.
How were they unsuccessful? They had a number one hit in the UK with a stirring rendition of Little Red Rooster. The blues players they emulated praised them. If anything the Stones were masters at turning current sounds into pop records.
There's nothing The Rolling Stones do, or have ever done, that has not been bettered in some way by bands, or members of other bands.
Who did better rock/disco? Rod Stewart? I've never heard better Elizabethan pop than Lady Jane. Give me your example of better. What band had better dynamics than JJF/HTW/Brown Sugar? Okay, maybe they weren't the best Reggae band in the world. Or very good at covering the Drifters. But I could name a few cover songs they made their own, or at least equaled the original.
As for my own unpopular opinion, Indian Girl is a great song.
Better Rock-disco - yes, Rod Stewart. Hell KISS did beter with 'I Was Made for Lovin' You'. But yeah, rock-disco-funk. I'd say the Stones never outdid Sly and the Family Stone, Earth, Wind & Fire. As for pasty white UK people giving it a go... the #$%&ing Bee Gees OWNED it.
Elizabethan Pop (could this have a gayer name?)... gah! Who the hell made up that term?? If you mean frilly pretentiously-repressed sounding harpsichord-laden drivel, The Beatles outdid the Stones with that psuedo-style. In Fact Both Aftermath and Between the Buttons don't come close to Rubber Soul and Revolver. Not even close.
What band had better dynamics than Jumping Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women or Brown Sugar? Oh, I don't know... maybe The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin??? Add in The Allman Brothers and Jimi Hendrix... with those five there's no need to listen to The Sones ever again.
Maybe someday you will reach the point where you never need to post again lol.
I'm flattered that you can't seem to think about much else here besides me. I don't swing that way though I'm afraid. Good luck in your search.
You don't swing that way? Could've fooled me since you whine and complain like a teenage girl. No, I don't think about you that often but you are somewhat of a peculiarity here. The band is certainly not above criticism but what sense does it make to hang out here if all you do is whine and complain? Do you just need attention that you can't get elswhere in your life? Or perhaps your own band is so shitty that it is envy of The Stones that is driving all this negativity?
But you are right that I shouldn't pay that much attention to you. It's kind of like driving down the road and listening to the radio. You hear Air Supply come on and you just change the station. No point in getting upset. So from now on I will just ignore and skip over your posts and recognize them for what they are.
The Air Supply of IORR.
Wow Frank, sound as though you're, 'all out of love'.

I dont see Frank being the one out of love, he is usually pretty upbeat and positive.... it is James and his 100% constant stream of hate towards the Stones that is puzzeling.

Max, don't tell me you missed the air supply hit single reference. I even put it in quotes!
I think we need to cut Jimmy some slack. After all he is Canadian!

See what we had here...was a failyah to communicate. This led to some nasty feelings. Fortunately this seems to have subsided.
Unfortunately, it's turned into a bit of a love fest, and that is infinitely worse.
Can't we all just not get along?

My opinion: There is nothing like seeing and hearing the Stones LIVE...especially non-stadium shows.

Duane in Houston
They play too loud in concert. It literally hurts my ears. They should cut the volume down 25% and it would sound much better.
