The Stones tracks featuring Richards lead vocals from the period 1980 to 2005 never cease to amaze me.

All of them? Infamy included?

Yes, that statement reads as being deliberately provocative doesn't it (), but it wasn't intended as such... I should have qualified: some are better than others.
'Can't Be Seen' is the weakest, and 'Wanna Hold You' and 'Thru and Thru' are the weakest lyrically although both have their merits, especially the former.
'Infamy' was my favourite track on A Bigger Bang when I first heard the album. The drums are fantastic and the lyrics, wry as they are in places, fit Richards' persona perfectly.
Whilst the opposite could be said of other(s) in the band, Richards voice, in every sense, seems to have grown in sincerity since the turn of the 1980s.

For me the most boring song on the Bridges-Album. And it sounds weired, needless to say that it´s tooooooo loooong.
Two minutes of ideas strechted out endlessly and it´s totally overproduced, maybe to camouflage the lack of ideas. A hopeless case.

It isn't a Stones tune, but one of my favorite Keith songs is "Say It's Not You" from the Bradley Barn Sessions with George Jones! Absolutely amazing! Dig it!

They don't even use a real piano anymore. On pianoheavy songs like Losing My Touch it really shows that lack of a real piano.

I am just re-watching 1980's "The Blues Brothers" and guess what during James Brown's sermon he says... "For the day of the Lord cometh... as a thief in the night!". His words exactly!
Weird huh? I'm sure Keith watched this film back in the day. Did the line come up to him more or less consciously 17 years later?

They played it because they liked it. The fans loved it, too.
