I like everything stones did from aftermath to tattoo you. Thats 66-81 and its alot longer than the Beatles were around. I like the beatles but find them less listenable today. At least the stones never did any gay yoko onto inspired revolution #9 shit. Let it bleed or exile on main street have a sound that doesnt seem dated. Its bluesy rock the type still played in small bars everywhere. The high light of the beatles was their psycedelic period and that whole style sounds dated now really. I never listen to sgt pepper or magical mystery tour. The stones graduated from psychedelic rock they stuck around and matured thru the 70s.
Fav Album sticky fingers / Abbey Road
And Floyd over zep.
And i like the who better than all of them.




ok, there.  comparing floyd and zeppelin.  two totally different types of music

Love them both but definitely gotta go for the Stones.
And definitely absolutely love Harrisons solo stuff.

I have. I've heard all the Beatles stuff. Of course the Beatles are better than Beiber, but music in general was better back then. The Beatles were one of first pop bands with screaming teenage fangirls. You couldn't even hear the music at their shows. Bieber of that generation.


Would you have considered the grateful dead's music bad if millions of young girls flocked to their shows?

The magnitude of popularity and demographic of show-goer's has no weight on the quality of one's music. Old nazis could have been the beatles' main listeners, I would still think their music is awesome.

I don't get the Beatles worship at all.  Never have.  Bunch of fluffy headed homos with no real balls.  I don't get Springsteen either.  Fuck them both and the Devil deserves sympathy.

I know 14 year old kids who are better musicians than the stones. Even if you dont like the beatles music, it at lease took some amount of appreciable skill.

Not really.  You want musicianship?  Every prog rock band in the seventies was way better than the Beatles.  They had a knack for writing catchy pop tunes that teenage girls peed over.  That's fine.  The supposedly deep thoughts later were as deep as a puddle in the Mojave.

I have no idea.

I don't like any or hate any of them more than the other. It was before my time.... Sure, I know the hits... But nothing more...

This is an invalid debate.

The Shaggs were the best, Zappa said so himself.

Well thats not what we're here to argue today, is it?

Even if the bealtes were a purely instrumental band (and they had a few), they would still be a better band.

Comparing the beatles to the stones is like comparing the technical merits of a classical composer to the  raw passion of traditional folk music.

The beatles give me inspiration, the stones give me motivation.

Thought provoking vs primal satiation

Apples and oranges here, just because they were popular around the same timeframe does not mean it's a valid comparison on obective musical superiority.

Ruby Tuesday, Honky Tonk Woman, Waiting on a friend.
Prefer the stones by a long-shot.
However if the Beatles get air time on my Rock station, I don't always change the channel.

I prefer the Beatles and in the end because I think you could objectively say they have a way more diverse catalogue.
The stones were GREAT blues rock
Amazing blues rock
but they aren't anything else besides blues rock.

The Beatles are pop/avantgarde/protometal/ska/folk...They
are simply way more musically complex.

But with that said,
I've heard so much stones and beatles through out my life
It's rare that I will purposely listen to either
and when I do
It's a small, particular set of songs.


Eaxactly, so true

I like the Beatles more for their music.

Never really liked the stones so much, I like them a little more now that I am older. Mostly has to do with how cool that band was though.

Check out this haunting song by Brian Jones and Keith Richards.

I'll take both. If I had to choose one it would probably be the Beatles, but I really do love the stones. My dad was a stones guy, grew up with that music and I love it. Beggars banquet is one of my favorite albums. Its great party music, keeps up the pace, it's driving and gritty and fun.

I love the Beatles for different reasons. I don't like every Beatles song, but the good ones are amazing. Some are horrible - obla di, maxwells silver hammer, octopus's garden, etc.... But then there's yer blues, happiness is a warm gun, get back, getting better, a day in the life, some of those tunes are so good they bring years to my eyes. The Beatles cover a much wider spectrum than the stones. Can be gritty and nasty (Lennon) but there is so much more. I don't think the Beatles are the least bit overrated, they deserve every bit of recognition and they will be remembered long after the rolling stones are more or less forgotten.

I like the song moonlight mile - rolling stones and I also like the song John Lennon - mother...
