They didn't record a great song past 1981. They have done some good stuff surrounded by weak stuff and thats it. I don't listen to anything past 1981. I don't listen to very much music and when I do I search out the great stuff.

Rock And A Hard Place
Mixed Emotions
Slipping Way
Sad Sad Sad
Love Is Strong
You Got Me Rockin'
Sparks Will Fly
Moon Is Up
I Go Wild
Flip The Switch
Lowdown
Already Over Me
Gunface
Out Of Control
Saint Of Me
You Don't Have To Mean It

They're not evergreen classics that will be loved and admired 500 years from now....but that doesn't mean these are all at least excellent ditties

All of 'em except Suck on the jugular and Might as well get juiced (good title though).

You're a rag trade girl, You're the queen of porn, You're the easiest lay on the white house lawn!!

I divided the songs that deserve to be praised into three halves:

First half is really great, second half is very good and „third half“ is not on par but still deserves honorable mention.


Front row:
Undercover Of The Night
Feel On Baby
One Hit To The Body
Hold On To Your Hat
Break The Spell
Highwire
Love Is Strong
Moon Is Up
Brand New Car
Jump On Top Of Me
Flip The Switch
Gunface
Rough Justice
Rain Fall Down
This Place Is Empty
Oh No Not You Again
Doom And Gloom




Second row:
She Was Hot
Winning Ugly
Had It With You
Dirty Work
Mixed Emotions
Hearts For Sale
You Got Me Rocking
Mean Disposition
Too Tight
Losing My Touch
Look What The Cat Dragged In
Driving Too Fast




Third row:
All The Way Down
Fight
Sexdrive
Might As Well Get Juiced
Dont Stop
Keys To Your Love

I Go WILD!!!!!

Almost Hear You Sigh and Love is Strong are truly of the standard we were accustomed to in the golden years as far as I'm concerned.

Always really liked Highwire - kind of a lost forgotten song. Thought Almost Hear You Sigh and Out Of Tears and Blinded By Rainbows were largely forgotten classic ballads as well.

Love Is Strong
Laugh, I Nearly Died
It Won't Take Long
Continental Drift

Are the only "classics" after Tattoo You IMO, but there are more strong songs and even more sub-standard stuff.

You managed to skip Out of Control...well then...

If I'm being totally honest, and in comparison to pre-'82...nothing is 'truly worthy of praise'.

yeah, there is a lot of good stuff post 1982. On it's own merit their catalogue, if you didn't have to compare it to the 60s and 70s stuff, which is largely bullet proof, you'd have the makings of a great band.

I think the later material suffers mostly because it's compared to the early stuff.

Jump on top of me baby.........their best.
She Was Hot
Slipping Away
Don't Stop
Keys To Your Love
Brand New Car
Moon is Up

Some decent songs, few and far between. I can't think of anyone "truly worthy of praisal" though. But maybe I'm a bit mean?

Too Much Blood
Love Is Strong
Anybody Seen My Baby?
She was hot
Undercover of the night
Highwire
Like a Rolling Stone
Doom and gloom

And there might be some more..................
