>>> The Stones, of course, were not as imaginative and experimental as
The Who, but they were (and maybe still are) a good rock and roll band,
without any pretentions.
Without pretensions? Hardly. Your first statement is certainly correct
(they weren't nearly as original). The second correct without the
parenthetical modification (they *were* a GREAT rock & roll band). But
the third, I believe, is way off. Especially since the late seventies,
when they forgot what they do best and tried to be original. I for one
am real tired of listening to Jagger groan. It just emphasizes how good
he used to be, and how far he's fallen into the "so what if I can't sing
anymore? I can still gyrate" mindset.
OK,
