The stones were great from 1966-1981

the beach boys at their peak are better than any other group at their peak and that's the truth. The horrible thing about it all was the boys had no longevity once Brian lost it :/ their music started becoming worse as the years went by.
The Rolling Stones were great well before 1966. They did blankety-blank SATISFACTION before that, fer cripes sakes.
I'm speaking as far as albums go

Albums aren't the be-all and end-all of rock and roll. And even then, The Rolling Stones Now! is one of the greatest rock albums ever.
that's true ...there's too many covers on that album
COVERS? As if that somehow makes a performance inferior to one that is written by the artist? Boy, you must really look down upon Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, The Ronettes, etc. Boy, come back in five years or something.
I don't know any of Frank Sinatra's work..My favorite Elvis songs are the ones he did not his earlier cover songs ..
I just can't get into many covers it seems so unofficial to me and most of the blues songs the stones did seemed so inferior to the original it's an absolutely ridiculous way..
