Are the Beatles overrated?

[Gandalf]

I think the Rolling Stones are overrated. They have a few good songs, but they repeat the same tricks again and again and then wander off into that really mediocre country pastiche thing they did all too often. Quite boring. Mick Jagger is a terrible vocalist with some of the silliest front man moves. If you are going to do that then at least be for real and cut yourself up like Iggy used to do. Take it somewhere beyond vaudeville. People always go on about the Beatles and the Stones, but the Kinks were a much more talented group than the Stones IMO. They did vaudeville too, but Ray Davies wrote such exquisite songs with beautiful melodies. The Stones could write nicely crafted songs too like with Out of Time, but they all too often fell into dull repetitive dirges and bluesy meanderings. They mostly had nothing to say.
