Disappointing to see how many like other groups as much as or more than the Stones...this is why they owe the fan base nothing. Most Rolling Stones fans are classic rock fans and would take The Beatles, Led Zep and/or other act. There are very few true Stones fans left.

Good lists.. I will give 5 besides RS
Beatles
Allman Brothers Band
REM
Talking Heads
Bluesbreakers

Are you serious? Disappointed? You don't have to like the Stones exclusively or even best to be a huge Stones fan, imo. Not that I believe the Stones owe there fan base anything but to insinuate they would if they singularly liked the Stones is a bit crazy.

I'd go so far as to say everyone who posted on this thread is a huge Stones fan. But hey we've been through this true and real fan stuff here many times and I think it's pretty meaningless. If you go so far as to say to be a true Stones fan you can't like other rock music perhaps you and onlystones are the only true Stones fans left on the planet.

Well, I consider myself a Stones purist and chose not to listen to other classic rock bands, especially ones like Beatles, LZ, Floyd, Eagles, who many constantly say are so much better than the Stones.

Yeah, him and his band are pretty cool. An interesting rock/blues hybrid.

I always feel extremely disloyal if I listen to anything but the Stones (or solo Stones stuff). I just love the Stones so much, and (to me) they are the greatest band there ever was or ever will be

Put down? Its just opinion. And basing your (narrowing your) musical journey down so terribly just to be a Stones Purist is, frankly, sad.

Brian Wilson loves Connection - he was there when it was recorded and it completely blew his mind so I guess it's ok for you to listen to The Beach Boys but i'd suggest you don't stray past 1971.
Do you listen to any of the many artists who influenced The Stones ? Chuck,Muddy,Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, The Beatles ( ) ...go on cut yerself some slack, there's a world of brilliant music out there - there's no point being faithful to Mick, he'll shag around on you sooner or later.

Golbin (Italian Soundtracks)
Shinedown
Blackberry Smoke

I assure you dandie those are classic rock bands. In fact, they pretty much define the genre.

Can't believe none of the Scandinavians or the Dutch here share my love for symphonic rock...

Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows were not mentioned ??? or Harold (TP)
Melvin and the Blue Notes?
