The Rolling Stones have yet to die, their new disc opened in the top 5. And while I know you don't think its a mark of success, not just any band can charge 500 dollars and sell otu stadiums. People pay, and people go because the stones throw down live like no other band. Jack White said when he was opening for them that they were arguing on how to play satisfaction during rehersal. A band that cares about every song, no matter how many times they've played it, thats a band that plays because they love music.
The Rolling Stones are probably the greatest band of all time. They are an exact testiment to what a band is, 4 guys (occationally 5) who live to play music, and they never retire, and they never quit, and they still make songs that people love.

In less than half a decade, The Beatles made Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Let it be and Abbey Road...Were the stones able to make that many great albums in such a short time period?, i don't think so.
