Overrated Bands

Yes but I think the idea tommy was trying to get across was that the Stones melded all of those influences you just said + more, and did it all at once, in a cohesive and holistic way, as opposed to the examples you just gave where Floyd took certain influences singularly and only for certain songs and certain parts of songs, i.e;
--- Quote ---The brilliance of The Stones was the fact that they created a new form of pop music which perfectly synthesised rock'n'roll, the blues, country, soul, R&B, folk and gospel. My knowledge of rock music is fair and I can't off the top of my head think of another band which attempted this, let alone succeeded. The Beatles dabbled in a lot of genres but never actually forced it all together into one cohesive sound

Did I say Justice yet?
Justice.

The debut album was undeniably great but literally everything they've made and done since has been so "paint-by-numbers" that I don't think there's a lot of patience left for them.
Then again, I dunno, maybe people still lose their shit over them? I have literally no idea what the state of dance music is anymore.

The only good track was "DVNO", and that was a straight-up Daft Punk ripoff. And nothing featuring an Uffie feature can ever be considered great.

It was in the mid-30s of Tinymixtapes' top 50 albums of the decade list. They ranked it higher than Discovery, which I thought was funny. But I'm not sure it matters what critics say, the people love Justice. They love Justice and Glitch Mob. They show up to Bloody Beatroots sets.
As for dance music in its current state... A lot of the stuff on Hyperdub isn't nearly as good as it's made out to be. The post-Dilla west coast abstract hip hop scene (say that five times fast) is becoming overheated pretty fast as well, I think. I've had a bunch of freshman twats in Boulder try and sell me on how Shpongle is REVOLUTIONIZING MUSIC, but I'm pretty sure I identified the source of that praise, and it's almost exclusively the Burning Man festival and its assorted activities.
