For a band to grab my ear there has to be one of two elements, a great bassist or singer/song writer. The Stones material never touched me like Mott The Hoople or The Alarm. From a bass players point of view Wyman held no interest for me unlike McCartney, Entwistle, Jim Lea, Martin Turner etc. I don't dispute the Stones contribution......................... but I always felt they were trying to catch up to the Beatles.
