23. Dirty Work (1986)
The best moments on Dirty Work come when the atmosphere of intra-band animosity in which it was recorded is channelled into the music: One Hit (to the Body) and Winning Ugly fizz with nasty energy. Elsewhere, it’s lifeless, and the period production on Back to Zero has dated abysmally.
22. Bridges to Babylon (1997)
Mick Jagger attempts to gussy up the Rolling Stones’ sound with samples and loops courtesy of trip-hop producer Danny Saber, and an intransigent Keith Richards responds by throwing Saber out of the studio. Results are as uneven as you might expect.
21. Voodoo Lounge (1994)
More stripped down and straightforward than its predecessor, Steel Wheels, this isn’t a bad album, exactly, but it sounds as if hard work was involved, the product of craft rather inspiration: tough coming from a band that, at their best, made it all seem effortless. Also, it feels as if it goes on for about six weeks.
