you gotta be kiddin. First, if it's for "artsy", then let's forget about the best Stones songs, those from the Brian Jones era. After that, they made a couple of good tunes and then... repeat year, after year, after year, after year. No surprise Keith Richards said "there's only one song in the air". At least in his head is a proven fact
If it's for edge, I would never, ever listen a band of 60 years old grandpas pluggin a Telecaster trying to look cool and playing the same song for... 40 FUCKING YEARS!!!
then your first statement is hilarious, you're comparing composers which in their solo careers took very different and definite ways, making some incredible music (as well as some of the crappiest things ever done, thanx Sir Paul) to a band not creating a NEW tune since Exile on Main Street
OK, case closed, even tho I LOVE Brian Jones' Stones, Beatles rules by far, there's no comparisson to start with other than they started at the same time.
Aw, and the "they still rock" argument is one of the things that decide me against them, get a grip and fucking quit robbing!
