I stopped watching at about 3 minutes as I am not impressed with anyone who dismisses Goats Head Soup, IORR, Black and Blue, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You AND Undercover as sub-par albums. Maybe you don't like one or two of those, but really... this dude is a little goofy to suggest every one of those LPs was a disappointment (personally, I love every one of them). I agree (though there are many who don't) that DW was a major disappointment of an album, but those others? They are all among the gems, in my opinion.

Does anybody actually listen to all of Dirty Work in one listen anymore? There's a few good cuts on the album, but, ehhh. I'll take Goat's Head Soup or Tattoo You over Dirty Work anytime. The second side of Tattoo You (Worried About You through Waiting On A Friend) IMO is the best album side the Stones put together in the past 30 or s0 years.

Why does the song "Melody" get slammed so much? Yeah, it's the Stones getting a bit goofy, but at the same time, it's a great riff on and homage to jazz/blues music and still holds up music wise. The walking bass line and keyboard work in it is really good. It's like a forerunner, bass wise, of what's to come down the road in the bass line of "Miss You". Looking back on the track list for the B&B album, there's only one other tune on the album beside "Melody" I consider still worth listening to: "Memory Motel". Otherwise, IMO, the album's pretty much a dud.

True: I have no brain and I regularly listen and enjoy the whole album.

Maybe 'second tier'isnt the best expression, but there's the Big 5, and then there's the next level. in comparison, yes that would be second tier. I know that "Black & Blue" and IORR albums had a huge impact on my personal life; my memories. But I know that their impact on rock &pop culture didnt come close to "Let it Bleed" and "Exile".
Not forgetting that 'second tier' in Stones catalog is lightyears above most other acts 'top tier'.
