The argument that the Stones started as a cover band has been used in Beatles vs. Stones conversations. It's not my own. I think maybe what critics mean is that the Stones were a pretty high profile cover band up to the mid-60s, while the Beatles of course covered songs but before they broke out of Liverpool club shows.

Thanks for bringing up a few examples of leading rock ladies in bands. Yeah, I think that was what I was getting at, what you said, Stevie's longevity and continued name recognition today makes her stand out. Glad you mentioned Pat Benatar. She beat Stevie several years in a row at the Grammys. And Debbie Harry's another notable band female lead.
