The people on this board + Rolling Stones hate = Wrong
I don't listen to the Rolling Stones that much, but I can tell you for a fact that they ARE great, they just aren't as accessible at first as the Beatles. A good example of this is Midnight Rambler. The first times I heard it nothing seemed to jump out at all. It was just people playing forever. But once you actually get into it you realize that the parts you had relegated to the background were actually the point of the song, and were great. Give the Stones time and you WILL be rewarded.
And the reason I don't listen to Rolling Stones is not because I hate listening to them. I just kind of shifted away from rock.
Oh, and:
The Flaming Lips - perfection + Crazy cult hippies in white robes = The Polyphonic Spree
