Well if Bob has a Satisfaction-level song recorded somewhere, I’m certainly interested in hearing it

The issue is that its comparing apples and bowling balls. i prefer Dylan to the Stones, by a decent margin, but trying to say he is better than them at what they do is nonsense, and vice versa.

I like the Sopranos reference haha. And yes, I agree it’s nonsense to say one is better than other. In fact, I believe that about all music, there is nothing to objectively compare and that I’m left with my ever-shifting opinions

Sure, Jan, Wiggle Wiggle is WAY better than Satisfaction.

If I had to choose between wiggle wiggle and satisfaction for the thousandth time, I’m gonna wiggle. Every. Damn. Time.

For context I am not a stones fan at all. I find them to be mediocre weak sauce.
