im just saying, people gotta move on, im sick of hearing about the rolling stones, talent wize, there not even good, there old news, get over it!
Sorry, but Rolling Stones > Beastie Boys...and pretty much everything you mentioned (not that your list is bad and yes the Pumpkins are good). The Stones may not be everyones taste nor do people have to like them, but they are good. Maybe not what they were, but "not even good" can't apply to a band like the Stones who have created many great songs over the years.
I do agree with you though. People should listen to what they like not whats “cool.” I have a wide range in music, I love the old rock music and a lot of the newer as well. But I also like many genres and bands, from big to small.
Phases are stupid, classic rock, punk, rap…freakin emo. Haha. They all come in trends. People should just listen to what they like and be open to listen to new things.
in terms of skill, talent, rythem, everything, claypool alone > than the stones in skill. its only a matter of taste as someone above stated, but in terms of musical skill, the stones are way at the bottom of musicians in the world, doesnt matter what genre.
