Except it may not be true anymore. I think someone like the Foo Fighters are more dynamic. Come on, they're a lot younger. Charlie understands that he can't wallop the drums like he used to.

The Greatest doesn't have to always be the best. At the end of his career Ali was clearly no longer the best, but he still was the Greatest, by a country mile. Still is. Same with the Stones. Though on a hot night in the flesh, they are still able to go out and play amazing shows.For a bunch of old guys, Rolling Stones are still capable of going out and ripping the joint so good, any other band in the world would be hesitant, to follow them. Are they always on top of their game? No, but the ability to amaze and surprise still exists with this band.

"The Rolling Stones!"
- and if you don't already know they're the greatest, you soon will.
Comparisons with present day bands like the Foo Fighters are difficult because the Stones are not and never have been simply a Rock band: Rock is a child of rock'n'roll but they are different animals. Don't ask me to define the difference: the nearest I can get is that rock'n'roll makes me want to dance, and Rock doesn't.

It does feel that way.
No bands excite me any more.
The Stones still have more energy and excitement than all the young pretenders put together..
It's this kind of thinking that frightens me. But hey, to each his ownQuote

No it wasn't . It was a FACT then and is a FACT now. No one comes close.

I think this whole "greatest rock and roll band in the world" thing is just complete nonsense. How the hell do you even judge something like that? It was just a clever marketing ploy that they used and it worked.
