roberjerman, i don't wholly disagree about the stones. although they still could crank out the odd great song thru the early 80s, some girls was their last essential album, and even some girls did not match their beggars banquet/sticky fingers/exile zenith. likewise, i find everything the who did after 1979 to be near-worthless. however, in the context of their entire bodies of work, to say that the who or the stones are overrated seems silly to me. my own picks for overrated would be zappa, tom waits and u2, who all seem like fine people but will not get near my turntable.
