I`m talking about in this one instance.You might think it`s tired crap , but that tired crap influenced some of my favourite bands over that 40 year period and continue to do so. I`m not actually a fan of much 'traditional rock n roll' I just happen to think the Stones do it far better than a great many other bands , which is why I listen to the Stones far more than any other 'Traditional rock n roll band'
I like diversity , I like experimentation , but like I said to me when the Beatles did it , it sounded watered down. If i`m going to listen to a pyschadelia album i`ll pick up The 13th Floor Elevators Easter Everywhere,Floyds Piper At The Gates Of Dawn , Red Krayolas Parable of Arable Land or Frank Zappas Freak Out.Not the Beatles 3 minute watered down pop attempts at it.

What the hells that got to do with anything?
No doubt you`ll have a fit if I say all prog rock is sh*t based on Rick Wakemans solo career.

Dunno what arguement you`ve been reading but for the past few days myself & Big3 have expressed a preference to the Stones based wholly on music.

People look for different things in music.I can relate better to honest music.Like I said to me Sgt Pepper is one big excercise in window dressing.
