RS vs. PF...The Stones AINEC I've rated PF as #9 on my all-time list. Though the older I get, the less I like them, if that makes any sense, so they'll likely drop out of my Top 10 & hold position around #12. For me they're not an every day kinda band, nor every week. Maybe 1x per year for a few songs. Part of that is during the '80s I listened to their big 4 albu
