    Beatles Whup Ass

    Stones suck.

    How's that for criticism?

    Stupid? Yeah. Just like this "review."

    It was, quite literally, ground-breaking. Within a year, everybody else had gone psychedelic, they were trying to make complete stories out of their albums, and they were setting their A&R guys free in the studio. Lots of great music.

    The Stones are great, too. Just not quite as smart as the Beatles, and besides, they were heroin addicts and crazy. And their idea of a good time led to Altamont.
