The Stones belong to my top ten artists. I haven't liked their albums much in the beginning, as I only liked stuff from Forty Licks, which was my first connection to the band.
Now, most albums are worth five stars. I love to praise my faves, hehe!
I changed the average values though, making it now harder for albums to achieve higher grades. For instance, the minimum average rating for 5+ albums is now so high, that none of the albums by the Stones achieved it.
