The "wide variety" of music that the Stones recorded doesn't seem all
that wide to me, not when compared to the wide variety of all music.
So if I hear some Stones and don't like it, I'm more sure that I won't
like the rest than I am of most music. And other music has randomly
produced things that struck me as wonderful. That's never happened to
me for a Stones song, and - as I mentioned before - I went through the
whole of "40 Licks" in a failed attempt to figure out what people see
in this band. That was dedication in a hopeless cause, man. Almost as
bad as the time I listened to Jeff Smith's tape tape of his favorite
Rod Stewart songs four times, with utter and increasing revulsion each
time. But by gum I was going to give this fellow a fair try.

No, of course not. But compared to the output of your average band, it is
pretty wide. Most bands you really can write off after hearing a bad
song or two on the radio. Even if you wind up hating the Stones, it takes
more than a song or two to prove it.
