I disagree.

The Beatles broke up when they were still considered great, and that's how people will always remember them.

The Stones will be remembered by many as a band who should've known when to quit. They're reminiscent of a professional athlete who refuses to retire, then ends his career with many people either shaking their heads or booing at his weak performances.
