You realize you sound utterly ridiculous, trying to argue that the Stones are better than the Beatles on the basis of the ratio of unique words within a song, right? And also that you've blatantly cherry-picked your data.	[reply]

Maybe I should have made the irony more obvious or you are trying to top me? :) The link I gave lists Beatles and Kraftwerk as most influential bands in music business. ;-) > "'The Beatles and Kraftwerk' may not have the ring of 'the Beatles and the Stones', but nonetheless, these are the two most important bands in music history".
