This is what I'm talking about. The only argument that can be made for "The Stones are the best band EVAH!!!" is if it's purely a monetary argument, however even then I think if you adjusted for inflation there are several bands that would have made as much if not more.
Add to that bands like The Greatful Dead who barely charged and allowed their live shows to be recorded and shared (bittorrent was built specifically for their shows) and I think the argument is thin at best.
There simply isn't a genre spawned by the Stones and they haven't bridged generational gaps like U2 and some others. I'm not that impressed.
