I'm a much bigger fan of the Rolling Stones than I am the Beatles. Even though I love a lot of their work, the Fab Four are a bit overrated for my taste. The Stones have a darker appeal in some respects as well, and I always find that intriguing.

For what Berringer likes, they aren't quite as good as made out to be.

In other terms he doesn't rate them too highly because he doesn't like em as much.

Gimme Shelter wasn't a single.

But yes, I agree, most of their non-single albums tracks are very boring. In fact I find Stones albums quite dull, a single compilation is really all you need (along with the above mentioned song).

No, not really. I've got almost all of their albums in my collection. I just feel they're given far too much credit when it comes to being originators of certain styles. In my life, I have actually heard people give credit to the Beatles for producing the first concept album ("Sgt. Pepper's"), the first heavy metal single ("Helter Skelter") and numerous other laughable accolades that have been attached to them simply because of their popularity. Their music was indeed great, but by no means were they the progenitors of even half of what they're ackowledged for.
