I would say that 1978's "Some Girls" was the last of the really good "all the way through" Rolling Stones albums. At that time, even though they were already considered rock dinosaurs, they had been together only about 16 years.

1980s "Emotional Rescue" was the beginning of the downward slide though there were some good songs on that. As for the big 1981 single "Start Me Up" - that is one of the most annoying songs ever. Probably because it reminds me of Bill Gates and Microsoft.

“Hang Fire” is a good song.

“In the sweet old country where I come from/Nobody ever works/And nothing gets done/We hang fire!”

Pretty much described England before Thatcher.

Miss You was a great disco song before disco became passé.

And “Shattered” showed the punks, how it’s done.

It was the perfect record for the year 1977.

Really? It is Stones all the way back to Honky Tonk Woman. You can't hear the similarity?
