Listening to The Stones in class, compared to The Beatles, I didn't like them. Yeah, I'm a Stones fan, but you can't just listen to Beatles for Sale and then listen to 12x5 right after. It just doesn't compare at all. The Beatles take the lead for sure.
BUT. Once you get into the Stones later stuff, a favourite song of mine being Paint it Black, it's really great. But you have to listen to the music. I think people listen to the Rolling Stones because they feel like they SHOULD, because The Stones are so legendary. People just feel obligated to liking them. While I like the Stones, I think they're overrated and when they started, they were trying too hard to be like someone else, so they forgot what their real style was.
