Well Angie is a great song, I can't deny that.

Even if one is to say that the Stones didn't start making really notable music until 1965, the same year Rubber Soul came out, the Stones still put out quality music for at least twice as long as the Beatles.

I think you're wrong about that one. Meet the Beatles, Beatles For Sale, Hard Days Night and Help! are all excellent pop records. And just about any true Beatles fan will tell you that.

I mean in 64 they released Not Fade Away , It's All Over Now , Time Is on My Side , Heart Of Stone & Little Red Rooster as singles. If your going to count the Beatles 'good' stuff from 63 with stuff like I Want to Hold Your Hand or Love Me Do, then I think the Stones can be given those songs.

Well except for Heart of Stone, those are all covers, I was talking about when they started writing their own material. But whatever, you got me there.
And convenient how you forgot to mention I Wanna Be Your Man. Hmm.... I wonder why.
