Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I'd argue that King Crimson are a much more significant band. /ducks.

The Kinks are the best of all time.
But if I never hear King Crimson again I'll be a happy man.
From a musical perspective that classic run of albums from Beggers Banquet to Goats Head Soup were great rock’n’roll albums and a run that has been hard to surpass for other bands.
Likewise, the band have been fantastic myth creators and self promotors -much of the ‘legend’ of what is perceived to be rock’n’roll stems from the Stones. It is true to say that may not be what most of us aspire to now but it would be ridiculous for most of us to not admit that Keith was a significant influence on a good chunk of us picking up a guitar in the first place. Even now, with teens starting out and learning to play, how many still really just want to be Mick and Keith, the pout, the swagger -it’s all the Stones.
The final piece of the Stones jigsaw has to be the draw they still maintain, the broad demographic that attend their shows and the kind of sell-out tours few artists can still manage, let alone seventy year olds.
Are they my favourite act ever / best bunch of musicians / the artist(s) I would most like to see live? No.
However, are they the greatest rock’n’roll band of all time? It’s an undeniable yes.
All things considered, l would have to say yes.....
But even so - no. The stones wouldn't make my top 50.
