Interesting

Stones Yes Genesis The Clash

I love all 4 of those bands.

Interesting for me to consider if I prefer their early 80's releases or mid to late 80's

With the Stones I most definitely side with early 80's. I think Tattoo You is very good and Emotional Rescue is great and that last true Rolling Stones classic.

With Yes early 80's is the clear victor with Drama and 90125 easily beating the poop out of Big Generator. And original line-up or no 90125 is a terrific record.

With Genesis you got Duke, Abacab, Genesis-Genesis Vs Invisible Touch. Obviously early 80's again. Those three are all great.

The Clash. The Clash disbanded in 86 but with Sandinista (a contender for my favorite record of all time by any band) and the brilliant London Calling Vs Cut the Crap your hypothesis sits well with me.
