So nah, they both had an equally long run as far as quality is concerned. And The Beatles at least knew when to quit.
I think the Rolling Stones consistently put out good albums from their debut album England's Newest Hit Makers to Tattoo You. OK, some albums were weaker then other but every unpopular Stone's album had at least one or more classic tracks on it. England's Newest Hit Makers and 12X5 even though kind of basic compare to the Stone's later stuff are two very good albums, the first one being one of my favorite Stone's album, I love every song on that album, a lot of classic blue songs, It's All Over Now and Time Is On My Side are classic tracks from 12X5.
