I'm not even a fan of the Rolling Stones and this comment sounds ludicrous to me.

FWIW ... When I checked my iTunes playlist I see I have more Rolling Stones tunes among my Top 100 most frequently played (2) than from The Who (1).

It doesn't get much better than this, folks:

Waiting On A Friend

Moonlight Mile

Dead Flowers

There ain't too many rock bands that can go from a jazz sound to blues to bluegrass like this.

Moonlight Mile in particular is a gem. But the Stones have a great many from that period.

Isn’t moonlight mile the best?

Exile, sticky fingers, goats head soup, some girls, let it bleed, blanquette, black and blue…

Wild horses, sweet Virginia, waiting on a friend, honky tonk, brown sugar, winter, memory motel, can’t you hear me knocking, dead flowers, til the last time, tumbling dice, it’s only rock and roll…

We were looking for video of Pete Townsend playing summertime blues there was a reference to it on an old sit com. The kids were curious.

It’s great. The kids like it.

Had a tough time even coming up with two songs by The Who. Don’t have any albums

Why does daltrey do this? Why does any artist do this? It is the worst thing to do. The greats never do this. I remember the people who talk like this as being in a low class

You forgot, "Can't You Hear Me Knockin" with its amazing jazz sax/guitar bridge.

Other Stones country are Wild Horses, Tumblin Dice, Sweet Virginia, Country Honk. Nothing gets more country than "High and Dry" on their Aftermath recording. That was one of if not their best albums. C'mon man.

He seems to be talking about their live performance, which is quite different from studio productions.
