Emotional Rescue, the Rolling Stones' fifteenth studio album, came out on Rolling Stones Records in 1980, trailing in the wake of Some Girls and picking up right where that record left off: rock, blues, a little punk sneer and a lot of disco strut. The title track is the giveaway, Mick Jagger purring over a groove built for the mirror ball while Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman keep it locked tight. "She's So Cold" is the counterpunch, a wiry, nervy rocker with Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood jabbing at each other's guitar lines.

It went to the top of the charts in the US, the UK and Canada, and the sessions ran so hot that the songs left on the shelf became the backbone of Tattoo You the following year.
