But talk to most guitarists who have a clue, and they'll tell you that Richards is the *****.
Watts actually drops the hi hat on 2 and 4 for a reason. It is part of what makes the stones sound like the stones.
So who do you think actually is a good guitarist and/or bassist and/or drummer?

100% correct! You don't have to love the Stones to appreciate their individual members' contributions or chops on their instruments. There are few drummers out there, who've played as long as Charlie has, who aren't at least very good at their instrument. I used to think he was a bump on a log until I saw him live, doing a soundcheck and banging around with no mics on. That guy beats the living pi$s out his drums and doesn't work up a sweat doing it. Keith has so many awesome riffs, weird tunings and solos, I don't know where to begin. I'm probably the only one in the world whose favorite Stones tunes are "Waiting on a Friend" and "Highwire". But those songs just oooze great guitar work. And I LOVE the drum in "Undercover of the Night". Taking the pillow out of the bass drum for that one makes the tune.
