Rolling Stones in the 80s

In common with many "heritage" acts, the Rolling Stones did not have a good Eighties. It started off well enough off the back of the late-70s success of the Some Girls album and the tours were getting bigger than ever. But soon into the decade the Stones had something of an identity crisis. The Glimmer Twins were at loggerheads as to where the direction of the band should be going, with Mick wanting the band to keep up with modern sensibilities while Keith favoured a more belt and braces blues-rock approach. And they kind of fell somewhere down the middle. There were other issues too: Bill Wyman was in the tabloids for his rather questionable relationship with a teenager and even dependable ol' Charlie Watts had his nadir, succumbing to heroin.
But, just as the Eighties has flowered into fashion and then some, maybe it's time the music of the greatest Rock 'n' Roll band of the lot from this period deserves another listen...
