"But compared to contemporaries like the Kinks or the Monkees, even the best Rolling Stones records of the 60s and 70s are hard to listen to without wincing; the whiff of Dad-dancing unmistakably surrounds them, drowning out the more exotic scents that once made them seem so edgy."

Well, it's by Julie Birchill, that should tell you something.
She's one of the subjects of Pete Townshend's song Jools and Jim.
To be fair, she just mentions the Monkees (a rather odd comparison),
so who knows if she's a fan.
