Had I been a teen in the 60’s I would have been more of a Stones fan than a Beatles fan..

Well, as a teenager in the 1960's I can say that though the Stones had some good tunes, they were (and still are) very limited musically; which is not to say that it hasn't been lucrative for them. They tried to ape various styles to keep popular (Ruby Tuesday springs to mind as well as Their Satanic Majesties Request ), but their best stuff was more like Satisfaction, Spider and the Fly, and later, Shattered. At least they didn't try to be as plastic as Jefferson Airplane going from psychedelia to leftist politics to "Jefferson Starship" to "The Starship" to the pop of "We Built This City."

The Mothers of Invention were musically (and lyrically) far more advanced than almost anyone else in that era.

Their music got worse with each name change.
