What about Johnny Cash? I'm a firm believer that there's good
music in every genre - it's just usually obscure and takes some
digging. (Obviously Cash isn't obscure, he's one of those rarities
that actually deserve their fame.)

As for the Stones - I like a few of their early hits (in particular,
"Gimmi Shelter") but overall they're no better than most bar bands.
Luckily I like music that isn't very popular (comperably) so I can
go see the best bands in the world for their genres at shows of a
few hundred people, and they're really psyched when you go up after
the show and tell them they were good...
