First off Taste is subjective. Some people are only exposed to
What they hear on the radio others dig into various genres to explore different sounds . Mcdonalds is the largest restaurant company and Walmart is the biggest retailer just because they are popular it does not make it the best.

Just because someone is talented does not mean they are all good. Billy Joel is is talented but his song writing does not compare to Bernie Taupin and Elton . Listen to them side by side and Elton blows Bj away pun intended. Elton is an equal if not better piano player than BJ. Elton likes BJ they toured together.

The stones even in their early years copied the style of other acts. They are not innovative and they do not have the best position players. The Who on the other hand had one of the best at every position. Townsend is an abosulte genius. Moon is considered one of the top 3 rock drummers ever even with a time signature that was all over the place. Entwhistle is considered to be the gold standard of rock bassist. Daltry is a great front man not the best voice but that's not a requirement of front men . You can say the exact same thing about Zepplin. Sure the stones have some great songs but the majority are average.

It's interesting that people get bent because someone does not like their taste in music. But the stones still blow and their fans are pedestrian. Most of them live in planned neighborhoods with catchy names like chestnut hills .
