    Rolling Stones = 60's buttrock IMO. Like the 60's version of Warrant or some other shit band but one that made it bigger due to the charisma of the band members and the tabloid circus of their private lives. Never heard a song from them that really caught on with me. So it's Crosby by default.


    I'm hearing you can get the entire Stone's catalog on CD from Amazon at reasonable prices.

    Stones are Kobe, Wilt, Kareem status.

    CSN&Y is Doug Christie.

    There are two Rolling Stoneses on some level: the Mick Stones which is just “let’s do what everyone else is doing” and the Keith Stones which produced all their classic work.

    If you just take the Keith Stones, they are as good as anyone... the Mick Stones are basically Stone Temple Pilots.

    Some oversimplification here, but the poont becomes mor valid post Exile. Mick is the OG bad boy front man in Rock and everyone that came thereafter owes him a debt.

    I’m talking about songwriting. Mick’s direction always led to Ruby Tuesday, Satanic Majesty’s and Shattered.

    Keith’s songwriting produced Street Fighting Man, Gimmie Shelter, etc.

    Mick is a truly great frontman.

    You know what fucking crazy though about Mick following the trendy bands in 1966- 67, is that "Ruby Tuesday / Let's Spend The Night Together" might have been better than anything the Beatles did on Pepper or Magical Mystery Tour. It's one of the greatest double A sides ever. And Between the Buttons and Stanic's Majesties are loaded with great Stones "deep" tracks that many here have never fucking heard. 2000 man is fucking amazing.
