The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones' reputation is inflated, resting almost entirely on a four-year golden era ending in 1972. While 1968-1972 produced classics like 'Exile on Main St.', over 70% of their top-streamed Spotify tracks come from this period, a ratio 20% worse than the average legacy rock act. This reliance on past glory makes them less relevant than #3 Drake, whose cultural impact remains current. Four decades of diminishing returns have stretched their legacy thin, with only one top-10 album since 1990.
