So on point one. In what way was Keith Richards a cool guitarist? McCartney was a great bassist and could play lead, and so could Harrison and Lennon. I don't think Keith Richards looks cool either.

Sounds like somebody doesn't have "cool-dar."

Mick was just as charismatic as a show man as any one in R&B or Pop music.

The Beatles most noted songs were about fantasy - trippy in your mind fantasy. The Stones most noted songs were about reality - in your face reality.

Really the Stones were ahead of the game comparing some firsts to the Beatles. The Stones were the first band to have a sitar recorded on an album and the first band to write all the tracks on an album.
The Beatles, no doubt deserve all the accolades thrown at them, they were actually quite apt at taking cues from artist and bands.

The Beatles were the guy next-door, and the Stones were the bad boys of Rock. The were the best dressed in Rock (until Jagger donned the white jump suite which almost every frontman did in the 70s) but still Keith is the
-est guitar player.
