LOL
Like Too Rude, Sleep Tonight, Harlem Shuffle, Had It With You and the title track?
Fight, the demo, was actually pretty good, imo, without all the barking and shouting.
I'm pretty sure the only tracks where Charlie is MIA are TR and ST, possibly one more.

Take Undercover of the Night off the Undercover album, throw the rest away.
I don't stand for this reductionist attitude towards any Rolling Stones album. However, if I would have been, one option might be to give such treatment to TATTOO YOU. In contrast, UNDERCOVER to me is one of approximately twelve great Stones albums, out of which the last three are SOME GIRLS, EMOTIONAL RESCUE and UNDERCOVER.

Don't care what other people here think, but DW is a good album.
It could have been great, given what was left out. Yet it remains a good album.
For sure I played to death when it was released, and still listen to it a lot now.
Production gets slammed often, but it stood the test of time better than Steel Wheels or Voodoo Lounge.
Of course, it adds nothing to the Stones' legacy and there are at least 15 other Stones albums that I like more. But one thing is to say that DW ain't no Exile - no discussion, we all agree, not even close - another is to say DW is a bad album, which it is not.

name 2 good songs on Dirty Work. If you say, name one, invariably people will throw One Hit to the Body at you. OK, maybe that would have worked on another album.
Name a second KILLER song. Not possible.

Since there is not one, or a first, killer song on the worst Rolling Stones album in history, there can't be a second killer song.

No, maybe TATTOO YOU is not their weakest album to me, but no Stones album irritates me more.

It throws me that people see B2B as a lousy album. I find it as by far the strongest late era album. And I could surely make that point track by track.

... I can recite the titles of all songs in their proper order for all albums from 68-83 and I know a DW song or SW song when I hear it. I’m not so old - I still possess the mental acuity to differentiate the two albums if I wished but I don’t see the point – ‘90s Stones’ is good enough.

It's their 1990s UNDERCOVER... without the talent and interest.
BTB has some pretty good songs on it... and some pretty bad ones. The unfortunate aspect of that, for me, is the awful bad songs drag the album down too much. U is opposite of that.
I get where people don't care for Feel On Baby but I find it quite interesting.
All The Way Down is hilarious and I love Mick's snideness. It should've been a proper single.

No, B2B has some bad ones on it, not BTB. Remember the code!
(Sorry, couldn't resist).

Ahhhh... I can't help that there are 2 LPs with BTB as their initials and seeing that BRIDGES TO BABYLON is being spoken of here, it's within the context. After all, the spelling of 2 starts with a T...

Rocky, I respect your knowledge of the Stones, but you just rated Side One of UC as a perfect Stones side.......
