The Stones have been nothing more than a money making machine since the mid 70s.

But that shouldn`t detract from what they did before that.The Beatles may have been more diverse , better songwriters (Although I disagree , Jagger & Richards are the only songwriting pair that could rival Lennon & McCartney).
But the Stones made rock n roll dangerous again , the songs were more honest & brutal they were by far the better live act.

I would take Exile On Main Street over Sgt Pepper EVERY time.
