Oh, come on. He was an integral part of their sound. He didn't derail their sound. He contributed to it. What the Stones sound like with Taylor is simply what the Stones sounded like during that era. They don't sound wrong because of him, or un-Stones-like. The Stones sound changed continually, so to say that he caused a problem is simply ridiculous. He was part of their evolution into the band they became circa 69 to 73. And I think the success of his part in the band is at least partly supported by how well, critically and commercially, those albums are received.
Ewww, yer a gettin my blood boiling!
