Everything in the Rolling Stones’ garden is very nice at present. But despite their heights of appeal, they haven’t got the staying power of the Beatles. Because of changes in taste in popular music, the Stones cannot hope for lasting popularity. The very nature of their music precludes drastic change… It is difficult to see or discover which direction they are travelling in. Where do they go from here?

Melody Maker, January 1966 - as quoted in Bill Wyman's memoir, Stone Alone
