After bum-rushing the '80s with Emotional Rescue, the Stones released Tattoo You, the second half of a potent one-two album punch that showed the band asserting themselves as they entered their third decade of music-making. Essentially made up of songs dating as far back as 1972 sessions for Goats Head Soup, the Stones' 1981 release is still a potent slab of swagger and sass. 'Hang Fire' is a tight two-minute and twenty second redefinition of surf music, and 'Start Me Up' is classic Stones, replete with Jagger's sexual braggadocio and Keith's patented 'Honky Tonk Women' - style riffs. The bluesy shuffle that is 'Black Limousine' is only surpassed by the cocky 'Little T and A,' sung by an endearingly raspy Keith Richards. Most impressive on Tattoo You is the wistful 'Waiting on a Friend,' featuring jazz giant Sonny Rollins wailing away on his saxophone as the song fades out.
