Sadly, we are on a list with U2 and Bon Jovi.....another humiliation. All who agree with this list are not true fans (us) and shall not be greeted. |

This board is completely useless whenever there is a break in a tour. All anyone ever does is bitch and complain about other bands and "this and that" poll. C'mon, jealousy is not an endearing trait. There are lots of amazing bands out there, The Stones being at the forefront. |

I agree. Very boring band that attracts a lot of stoners.
Their songs are always way too long and they all sound just alike. |

Pink Floyd were and are still great innovators, who took psychedelia British style, gave it a twist of blues guitar and came up with their own still very listenable music which has not dated. Led Zep made some great albums - I think of them as blues orientated hard rock with eastern and English folk influences rather than as a metal act. Both great bands. Both very much still retain a loyal adult audience while gathering new generations of fans: neither Zep nor Floyd make me feel insecure about the Stones enduring legacy in any way - The Stones also keep their older fans while gathering new ones.
The Stones at the end of the day will always finish around the top of the various polls, depending on the particualr demographic of the poll conductors readership. Basically the same bands have for decades. So who really cares? |
