    # 2 The Rolling Stones

    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.

    Stone Temple Pilots were amazing. I wish I would have seen them live.

    I actually saw them open for MegaDeth in the early 90's before anyone knew who they were. I remember thinking to myself, I hope that lead singer up there dies of an overdose one day.

    They were fucking terrible live. Tbh, so was Megadeth.

    Also saw Stone Temple Pilots live opening for someone else, did not think enough of them to even wish death upon them(safe post). Went and waited in the shortened beer line instead.

    Saw Megadeath live once but maybe in the mid 2000's? with Iron Maiden? Can't remember. Also can't remember if it was their original line up or not. Either way, they were really good.

    CSN&Y had exactly two good songs (Judy Blue Eyes and Southern Cross), neither of which would crack the Stones' Top Ten

    Woodstock was good. Wooden Ships was good. Ohio was actually a CSNY song and is incredible.

    But you're mostly right. CSN were mostly undeserving of Young's assistance, as he repeatedly realized. They'd do well in a singer/ songwriter battle with the likes of Jim Croce, Cat Stevens, James Taylor etc.
