Undercover would be a great album without "Wanna Hold You", "All The Way Down", "Too Tough" and "Must Be Hell". The greatest songs on it are "Undercover", "Tie You Up" and "Feel on Baby".
From DW, "One Hit" is great, "Sleep Tonight" is good, "Winning Ugly" should get rid of the 80s production and it might get good. The rest should never have existed.
Steel Wheels is an average album: mostly not great and nothing really bad. The only really good songs are "Almost Hear You Sigh", and "Slipping Away". "Between a Rock" has potential, but it should have been worked more.
Voodoo Lounge, the only songs worth to remember (nothing great but at least good) are "Love is Strong", "Sweethearts Together" and "Baby, break it down". The rest is redundant.
Bridges to Babylon: keep "Saint of Me", "Out of Control" and "Thief In The Night". "Anyway You Look At It" is really nice and should have been on the album. Maybe rework "Flip the Switch". The rest is mediocre.
ABB: "Laugh, I Nearly Died" is great. The rest is good at best. "Streets of Love" is not so awful bad as people say it is, but it's not very good either. Of course, "Sweet Neocon" and "Infamy" should never have existed.

To play the cynic: Basically everything after Tattoo You is redundant. They could have quit in 1982. Wouldn't have made a difference. By the late seventies, everything was done. Nothing more to add.

If I were to play that cynic, I had to declare TATTOO YOU to be redundant as well. Only with "Waiting on a Friend" really to keep. On the other hand, every song on UNDERCOVER is to treasure, their last great album.
However, I am not a cynic, and I don't want to play cynic.
