Right in time for its 40th Anniversary, join me as I rank the songs on Dirty Work!

In this episode, I rank every track on Dirty Work (1986), one of the most polarizing albums in The Rolling Stones’ catalog. Recorded during a tense period for the band, the album blends hard-edged rock, glossy ’80s production, and flashes of classic Stones attitude—often in uneven ways.

Is Dirty Work as flawed as its reputation suggests, or does it hide more value beneath the surface?
