I agree with many, the all time worst Stones lyric is "sharks will cry"

I think there was a bet between
Dylan, McCartney and jagger about who could put that line in a song and maintain a straight face. No one told mick that McCartney and Dylan were just goofing around.

Along with «you better tell the fire chief to quit playing cards», this is first class prose, LOL!

I'm not gonna dig deeper into the lyrical pearls of SWF.

....anyway...i liked Dirty Work when it came out and still like it. I would say that I enjoy more than A Bigger Bang.

A Bigger Bang was well received by critics and so was Dirty Work, if memory serves well.

I like a lot of it. Nice to see HMS backing DW up. I've defended that album countless times through the years
My theory is that people aren't too proud of the 80s music and that decade's sound in general. When the Stones came with (partly) a modern production that symbolised what they hoped the Stones wouldn't become.
But cheer up, folks, more than 50% of DW hasn't got those drums, that reverb or those synthesizers

Yep as i have said before DW came along mid 80's and was a breath of fresh air in comparison to Duran Duran , Midge Ure, Howard bloody Jones and Ultravox

I never heard a bad word about SW when it was released. As a matter of fact, people were pretty content with DW at the time as well

okay...i've already given my opinion about Steel Wheels...but for some reason i feel the need to defend Dirty Work. I know it's popular here (IORR) to bash Dirty Work and say it's their worst album etc...but it's not bad.

Sadly no high school pictures – none whatsoever - survived my move to Japan. And to be honest Miami Vice was probably more responsible for my fashion crimes than DW.
More on topic, I recently heard the early version of ‘Fight’. The chorus is a lot less snarly than the album version thanks to the whole gang singing groovy harmonies on it; I was hooked momentarily (‘yeah, this is better than the released version’) but by the third minute it occurred to me that they sound like a 60s garage band. I don't think it's the arrangement that makes 'Fight' filler. What we have here there and pretty much everywhere after 1973 is a skinny singer in need of fatter lyrics.
