A completely uneven match of albums!
To me UNDERCOVER is the Stones latest great album and, besides, is the final album of the last peak period of their studio career. In some way a peak period even with a certain continuity through its albums. .
STEEL WHEELS, again to me, simply does not belong to their great albums, but instead with the preceding and the following album constitutes a comparative slump in their career. STEEL WHEELS nonetheless includes one song (or piece of music) that is one of the all time career greats by the Rolling Stones. It is obviously "Continental Drift".
Agree 100 percent Continental Drift is one of those hidden gems.Quote

U was, for me, clearly their last inventive album as a band as well as advancing their production methods and has some of Jagger's best vocal work on a record. Some of the songwriting is a bit weak but also there are some outstanding songs, like She Was Hot, Tie You Up, Feel On Baby and All The Way Down. I still like Undercover Of The Night, it is one hell of a rhythmic force, but Too Tough is, although dated, quite forced. It Must Be Hell is OK, a bit too much like Soul Survivor meets Honky Tonk Women. But whatever, it's the Stones.

UNDERCOVER over STEEL WHEELS by an EXILE ON MAIN STREET canyon.
With U, they weren't yer daddy's or grampa's Rolling Stones - they were truly different, invigorated, creative, they challenged themselves and the fans. It was absolutely new.
With SW is was Stones by the numbers 'We're back' blandness... with some highlights.
