When has anybody claimed the Stones to be anything more than the exemplification of that kind of 'sloppy' playing? They never 'get claimed' to be more than they actually are (ie. "The Rolling Stones invented world music with those bongo-things in "Sympathy for the Devil"!!!"). I'm not a fan or anything, but all of the credit they get is completely fair. I've rarely seen anybody arbitrarily give the Stones a title they didn't deserve. And they do deserve quite a bit, considering their influence, longevity and whatnot.

Don't see how this kind of thing makes them underrated. Especially on this site.

I get you here. I feel sorry for this band; the fundamentalist sect of their fanbase kind of ruin everything.
