LIST: Ranking the Rolling Stones

1. Charlie Watts: Great drummer; maintains "above it all" attitude yet still not arrogant.

2. Keith Richards: The ultimate survivor — assuming he shakes off the effects of falling out of a tree in Fiji.

3. Mick Taylor: Superb guitarist from the group's glory period of 1969-1974.

4. Mick Jagger: As time goes by, his talent is overshadowed by his preening.

5. Brian Jones: Experimentalism went beyond music into drugs; dying in a swimming pool is not cool.

6. Ron Wood: The bizarro Rod Stewart.

7. Bill Wyman: Seemed old when "Satisfaction" hit No. 1 in 1965; got creepier from there.
