DURATION!

I love them both and my answer would have been different 20 years ago. It is just the more I listen to the Stones, the more I hear just how great they really are.
Wild horses. Sweet Virginia. Let It Loose. Gimme Shelter. Angie. The list goes on. The point is... Keith Richards and Mick Jaggar. Enough said.
influence on hard rock
They embody rock and roll. They are also romantics of the first order.
the stones have always played soulful, honest music, just real rock and roll, man!
The Rolling Stones didn't let egos get in the way of making great rocking music. I mean they have egos but in the end they could work together violently sometimes and still work on their own stuff. Then get back together to rock. I guess the difference from a "blues" based band instead of a "rock" based band as with the Beatles.
Rock and roll
True rock music from "The Stones". Can anybody picture the Beatles writing true rockers like Monkey Man, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Sway, Stray Cat Blues, Can't you hear me knockin', Live with me etc ...
jumping jack flash!
i love their music
