Virtually all pop bands in the early 60s recorded loads of covers for their albums. Albums were just seen then as a way to make more money off the singles that had already been released, and filling them with covers was the quickest way to ship them out. The concept of an album being one body of work in pop music didn't become commonplace until around 66/67.

You know nothing about what I listen to, i'm a fan of most music, especially the early stuff.

The Beatles were a short lived phenomenon, great recording musicians. The Stones pasted the test of time, they did it all. Songs like "Paint it Black" will be with us forever.

Yeah. 40+ years after they broke up and they're still relevant and influential as any band ever was/is/will be. Talk about a shooting star.

I disagree about passing the test of time needing to be an indicator of greatness. You can have a short lived band/artist and/or a small but consistently great discography and still be considered great.

Take Beastie Boys. They released 7 very good, sometimes great, albums in roughly 30 years. I think they'll be with us forever (which was a true statement even before MCA died today)

Or someone like The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Yes, Jimi had a solo career with lots of great material, but the band released 3 stellar albums in less than 2 years. Last I checked, he's still revered and influential to many rock artists and fans.

When it comes to the Stones, there are positives to them staying active for so long. They still put on a damn good live show and they can fall back on an excellent discography with the likes of Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Beggar's Banquet. On the other hand, they are responsible for the likes of Flashpoint, Voodoo Lounge and Black and Blue.

Admittedly, I don't sit next to you in your living room or bedroom when you listen to music.

The Beatles a short lived phenomenon!!! Do you really think anybody will take you seriously with a comment like that?

I think you're confusing band durability with band quality as well, if you think the Stones are the best band ever then fine, but it should be based on the quality of their music and not the durability and time the band have been together, that gives no indication of the quality of a band.

Um...

short lived? What would you consider long lived and still relevant?
