    Really different types of music. If I had to choose one though, would be The Beatles.

    I tend to agree although I reall like both bands i can listen to the Beatles just about anytime I have to be in a kind of cruddy mood to really get into the Stones. But in a brawl I take the Stones, they probaby fight dirty

    There was a real funny review in an underground newspaper one time in the 70's that asked who was the best rock singer of all time, Mick Jagger or Eric Carmen from the Rasperries. The guy concluded it was Eric Carmen because he was wanted for statutory rape in more states and therefore by definition was more popular.

    It is said that the 'OO outperformed the Stone Rollers so profoundly during the filming of "The Rolling Stones Rock 'n' Roll Circus" that Messrs. Jagger & Richards shelved whole project. The "A Quick One" clip only saw the light of day in 1979 when Jeff Stein's movie "The Kids are Alright" was released.

    Was that the one where Yoko accompanied John with her artistic screaming?

    I like the Stones "but" I will always go with the Beatles

    I love all their albums but Rubber Soul thru Let It Be are the best.

    I remember playing Blue Jay Way over and over and over till my mom wanted to scream.
    I would play the Who, Zombies and Yardbirds before I'd play a Stones album.
    Go ahead and give me all the grief you like. :-)

    I likewise suspect that's true, but it's not a testable hypothesis.

    :- )

    I've always preferred the Mop Tops to the Rolling Stones... but the best of the latter's stuff was and is stuff for the ages.

    And, heck, Keith Richards is still alive... that's worth some points right there.

    When I heard the Stones version of Little Red Rooster, I Want To Hold Your Hand started sounding pretty lame.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    Being a Beatles fan myself, I'd have the say the Stones are the better band from both a more musically and lyrically diverse standpoint

    I like all the Beatles stuff up until they went to India. But the Stones (overall anyways) I still like more than "the fab four."

    That's Charlie Watts!!! [no Niel Peart, Kieth Moon,or John Bonham but still a better drummer than Ringo I must Say]

    Maybe, but both bands,music didnt really require a dynamic drummer.

    The Beatles get credit for a cultural revolution that came from bringing Rock back from the Motown c r a p that was on the radio at that time. The Stones rock. End of discussion. I have lots of Stones songs on my rock playlist, and zero by the Beatles. However, I do have a "I Saw Her Standing There' version by the Tubes on the playlist.

    I'm not a great fan of rock music, but I would give the nod hands down to "The Beatles," whom I believe will prove to have had a far more profound and lasting effect of the evolutionary trajectory of music in general, not just rock music.

    Beatles for me. They are, however, much more pop than rock, unlike the Stones.

    The Beatles did do a Motown cover or two, but I think what he meant was the radio was generally playing alot of Motown and Motown covers, and the Beatles took rock to a whole new level to the point where people were wondering what the Beatles were going to say about revolution and other cultural issues of the day, that being the Vietnam era and such. When Let It Be came out as a single, it had a dramatic effect on people's attitudes. Had they said, Burn It All Down I believe it may have been different. That's how important the Beatles were at the time IMHO. Not to say the Stones weren't important, but it appeared to me the Beatles were looked at as more of an intellectual and philosophical vanguard so to speak during that period.

    If memory serves me and I assure that it doesnt the Beatles didn't come into their own until after Mowtown had. Pretty much peaked. I supposewhen the Beatles show up on the scene they were a nice change of pace 64 65 6but not all that phenomenal
