I think "Had It with you" is just great, an unappreciated gem.  I also like Dirty Work a lot.   

You can just feel the tension that was in the studio throughout the album.   That was clever You rock!

Sleep Tonight
One Hit (To the Body)


After that, I'm struggling to find a VERY good song. Theres a few good ones, a couple that are OK and a couple of steaming toids.... ("Hold Back" is a contender for the most unlistenable song theyve ever put out)

At a push, I'd say "Fight" (only the crappy drumming brings it down) and "Too Rude".

DW is one of the few Stones albums where the outtakes are often better. the production on the released album is crappier as well.

Man, I don't even have Dirty Work, never bought it, never will... I don't even want to download it for free...
I like One Hit though, but the rest of it??  Puke all over me (wait that is BLEED)
Dirty Work makes ABB sound like a masterpiece.

Too Rude by Keith on "Live at Hollywood Paladium" is wonderful too. But it has nothing to do with Dirty Work.

(Edit : on a positive note I got to say that Dirty Work is still better than "Goddess in the doorway"...) Blank Frigging Stare

We must be running out of things to talk about!

With that said, Harlem Shuffle is my favorite on the album. It was my introduction to the band.

In second place is the Chuck Berry-ish Had It With You.

3rd place is One Hit to the Body.  I have no idea why Jimmy Page was on it, in the studio, or anywhere near a Stones session given Keith's dislike for Led Zeppelin, but I guess you can like someone as a person and hate everything they release as an artist.

It was a long slumber for us (so it seemed) after this came out.  Three entire years with no new Stones albums went by until Steel Wheels in 89.

Music, to me, is the joy, right? I love my kids most of the time, and I love my wife most of the time. Music I love all the time. It's the only constant thing in my life. It's the one thing you can count on. :Keith Richards 1993

Dirty Work haters can Kiss my undercover ass .

Marko is right on, the three best songs on Dirty Work are the three best post-Tattoo You Stones songs.  He even has them right, if not in the right order.

Had It
Dirty Work
One Hit

Masterpieces all.  Great lyrics, brutal guitars, evil stanking decayed rotten vibe on a Sticky level of evil stank.

after that, merely great:

Sleep Tonight
Harlem Shuffle
Hold Back

merely really damn good:

Fight
Too Rude

good songs fucked by 80s production and arrangements:

Winning Ugly
Back to Zero

too sad and touching to be believed:

Key to the Highway

obligatory genius outtake that should have been a b-side:

Strictly Memphis

WHAT A GREAT GODDAMN RECORD!



What the fuck?

Had it with you should be performed on stage I tell you that!

IMHO there are good ideas on the record but the production ruins the party.
The 80's clunckers (back to zero sounds like a keyboard demo,Winning Ugly is their all time worst song) are very embarrasing too.
Sleep tonight is another All About You. 
:funny

I like the reggae Keef, the idea of raging guitars (which may be Keef answer to Mick's wedding with pop music??), Dirty Work and One Hit.

To be decent, I won 't talke about the Stones look and Micks fantastic mullet Ouch!

On the Dirty Work song, the guitar solo where Keith n' Ronnie mesh, just for only 2 or 3 seconds, is the best since a long time.

I forget the seconds where it is but it's like a whole different album w/ those 3 seconds.

Durring that time it seems the band found the weave, but then lost it.

Still great album.

Dirty Work
Fight

Winning Ugly
Had It With You
One Hit To The Body

I don't think it's as bad as a lot of people think. It's better than Voodoo Lounge or Bridges To Babylon imho. Smiley

My favourite Stones record of all time...this is where it all began for me...I still love it to death, always have, and always will like it, love it, yes I do...my first Stones experience at age 15...never looked back...it rocks like a mother...even the 12" singles, esp. One Hit London Mix and and Winning Ugly NY Mix...shows just how much Ron Wood could contribute in terms of songwriting, creating riffs, and otherwise everywhere else...I could write 50-page essays on this stuff.

Sleep Tonight
One Hit (To TheBody)
Had It With You.

I must add though, Sleep Tonight, is the only real standout imo.
