After all, by the end of the sixties the Stones had become "The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band".

 

 

 

Debatable

[Hepcat]

No, sorry. That can't be questioned. It's been trademarked at patent offices in all civilized countries.

 

 

Here's an article on the question though:

You have to appreciate that this is an argument that persists almost fifty years later.

 

[Hepcat]

While the argument persists, the Beatles packed it in by the end of 1969. Coincidentally that was the same year the Rolling Stones were first introduced with that moniker.

 

The bottom line though is that if you don't show up to play, you can't win the game - and the Rolling Stones have been the ones who have kept on rocking and rolling all these years.

 

Here's one of my favourite film clips of the Stones, and one of the very first rock videos ever made:

I don't think you can use live shows and going out and playing though as an overall litmus. I would then elevate Phish and U2 to Rolling Stones and Beatles status.

I still fall on the Beatles side of the argument...

 

and you are really stretching with Anybody seen my Baby.

 

Although I was at the Meadowlands on a cold November night to see them on that tour. Pretty sure that the Foo Fighters opened and both bands were pretty good.

[Hepcat]

and you are really stretching with Anybody seen my Baby.

 

Yeah. Relative to their earlier days they've gotten kinda lazy in the last twenty years.

 

[Buzzetta]

I laugh every time I see this...
