To be fair...
Stones solo albums really only started coming after they jumped the shark in the mid 80s - and let's leave Ronnie out of this.
So comparing Apples (fallen though they may be) to Stones albums may be the better way to look at it, at least through the 70s and compare Stones solo albums to albums by McCartney and Harrison released AFTER 1984.
In that case, which I think is totally reasonable, the Stones do very well indeed.
I'd say the Beatles plateaued at Abbey Road and stayed at a reasonably high level until the early seventies and petered out.
Stones triple peaked LIB through Exile and dipped slightly but not severely before another double peak with Some Girls and Tattoo You.
Beatles didn't quite achieve that.
Mick and Keith had two good solo albums, that's all. Wandering Spirit and Talk is Cheap.

I'd put Macca ahead of Wyman but otherwise, spot on.

With solo albums like Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, McCartney’s Ram, Harrison’s All Things Must Pass, and others, it’s tough to compete with The Beatles. Where do our boys stand when it comes to solo albums?
