I mean what are you more likely to see on a prime time TV show, some winner of some pop idol type show singing Yesterday , or some new rock band doing It`s Only Rock n Roll?

Yeah, but a lot of rock bands drew from the beatles, and not a lot of pop bands drew from the stones. I agree that the stones were a great band, but I don't think they were all that innovative or influential. They didn't contribute anything really new to the music scene, just went on with what other bands had already done, and although they did a good job, I wouldn't go as far as to call them innovative or influential.
