Now, find a diehard Stones fan and ask them to name 2 or 3 songs from that album or what songs they want to hear live. Are any of those cuts from Steel Wheels? Pearl Jam is still relevant. The Stones were clawing back to notoriety status in the face of all else.
i said this somewhere before but the relevant comparison timing-wise right now is voodoo lounge.
steel wheels is more like s/t in that it was considered a rockin' return to form that brought them back into the consciousness as a team ready to play the game again.

I’d welcome your aversion to the comparison. Are you referring to the comparison to their age from 1989 to 2020? The above wasn’t a comparison in terms of either band’s music so when you have quality to back up what it is you are attempting to infer or state, then you have a leg to stand on. Otherwise, it’s noise for the sake of not a lot.

Eddie Vedder is as old now as Mick Jagger was in 1999.
