Jagger is the perfect singer for what the Stones are and want to be. As regards rhythmic accentuation of vocal lines he can also sing circles around Waters' funeral procession delivery. 😁 You really can't compare the two, Waters was as pivotal for Floyd as Jagger is for the Stones. Their aims are also entirely different, Waters wants to move minds, Jagger wants to move butts - there is room for both in rock. For the avoidance of doubt: I'm neither a Stones nor a Floyd fan (I find both similarly good to ok), I prefer Deep Purple and Judas Priest! 😎
The Rolling Stones had a lot of less serious music. That doesn't mean it wasn't as good as the teen angsty-ness of just about every Pink Floyd song. And Pink Floyd has nothing on songs like Gimme Shelter. When you're the most successful act in the history of rock music, there's a reason or two.
2 group acts that are documented to have globally outsold The Stones - Beatles (massively!) & Queen. Floyd & maybe Led Zep are on a par! There's a reason or two why this is the case, methinks!
I don't like Waters lefttist bias , but in this case he is right . Never liked the yelling voice of Jagger verry much , there is a difference between singing and yelling you know .
Mick Jagger is the best ever ❤
What does any of this have to do with Roger Waters??

This clip is a lot of nothing.
Both produced some grest music!
Waters own bandmates couldn't stand him ... envy is green not pink ....
Jagger will always be on the A list of R&R. Waters, B list. Though respected, a name that will be forgotten long before Jagger's.
I'd be happy on the D- list
Nuthin' against Mick and the the Stones, but I'm Beatles first and always, then Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Captain Beyond, ...
A person who define bordom angst and depression may have a lot to say about another star who's just the opposite --

@graniterhythm53 i don't remember mentioning money.
That's two of us then! I was just indicating one way The Stones are simply not the most successful act in the history of rock music, that's all!
BLAH , BLAH, BLAH. LOAD OF CODSWALLOP TOLD IN THE THIRD PERSON. GET THE STORY FROM WATERS OR NOT AT ALL. I NOW WHO I WOULD RATHER LISTEN TO
Mick Jagger is a Rock Star, waters is not,,
PINK FLOYD SUCKS
Utter garbish!
Jagger is at least still respected by music fans and the general public. Even the surviving members of Pink Floyd can't stand Waters.
Who can stand a clinical communist?
As soon as I heard the word ‘iconic’ I knew this would be an inferior presentation.
‘Iconic’ is the go to word for every poor commentator.
I don't like Waters lefttist bias , but in this case he is right .
