If you want to listen to a good entertaining pop album, this is a good album. Better than some of their others of the past couple of decades. Most songs have good, strong melodies, the production is fresh and sharp, Mick sings well, the guitars have some cool licks. It's pop, rather mainstream, but with some noticeable blues, soul and obvious country influences, but rather in the way one can

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 I'm sitting here, drowsing, doing one of my favorite things, i.e. thinking about the Stones. And I thought about 'Dirty Work'.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotepadre69 Is it Keith again on bass? The lead guitar does not sound like Keith, it’s more like Ronnie or Waddy. Keith left, Ronnie right. They both play lead/rhythm. Mick adds to the power chords towards the end and in the coda. Great song. (I have only heard the long version, I am sure it's better than the shorter one) But how can you hear which guitar is Kei

This is all getting slightly ridiculous.

QuoteMonkeyMan2000 I wonder whose idea it was to put overdrive on Keith's bass. This, I think, is what gives the bassline and also the whole instrumental a lot of character past the obvious Stones by the numbers riff. With my band in the studio, we sometimes use overdrive on the bass part to hide some inaccuracies, so that less editing needs to be done and it can sound intededly rough and ra

I'm not a big fan of this song. The studio version is alright, although certainly not the best song on Beggar's Banquet. The lyrics are clever, but the "riff" is hardly a riff, it's just to full, too bombastic, not very groovy. Like a big wall of chords. Live, it's worse. I am glad it's the last song on Get Yer YaYa's out, so I normally stop the CD when

Quotedeardoctor I know this track gots a lot of hate. But indeed I love this remix: brilliant guitar weaving Winning Ugly is potentially a very good song, also the Dirty Work version, but it gets ruined by the 80s sound and production. One day, a grungy, swampy, funky rock and roll band will make the perfect cover version of that song.

The 80s were a terrible decade. It was the time of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and a whole lot of other terrible nonsense bands. Even the Stones fell victim to the 80s sound on Dirty Work. One Hit is a great song but it would have sounded a lot better with a different production (especially the drums and bass).
