@vanessa I would argue that ‘if you were there’ chances are that you couldn’t hear anything!

To me I would have the Beatles over the Stones any day - but still not a band I go back to a lot ... as I think I said ... they are all just there in me

But there are few bands in the history of music that I think shaped what was going on and are remembered that way ... eg - something like sgt peppers today still holds as music - but at the time was so revolutionary that it stood out in other ways, so the context makes it even more important. Just check out billboard and / or NME for what other albums and musicians were doing at exactly the same time ... and it all falls into place.
