Beatles or Stones - Who's better? (1 Viewer)

Just using surviving original members you could make up a pretty good combination band. Mick lead vocals, Keith guitar, Paul bass, Ringo drums. Sorry Bill Wyman but you are on the bench/taxi squad.
 
I think the Beatles are far and away the best and the most important rock band in history. Their music is more diverse than the Rolling Stones and, especially post-Help, more sophisticated. What they did in essentially 8 years is almost unfathomable. The Stones win the longevity battle which, in my mind, is worth very little. Beatles and it is not even close.

This.

I don’t think the Beatles music is more diverse than the Stones - and I think you’re heavily discounting what the Stones did during their overlap with the Beatles: Aftermath, Beggar’s Banquet, Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers are extremely strong records. It’s obviously close, or people wouldn’t bother asking still, 50 years later.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And I’m also entitled to hold the opinion that millions upon millions of people can be wrong about pieces of music or possibly many other things. I’m not a sheep.
 
Is Krista not even going to dignity this with a response?

Rolling Stones are neat and all, but come on. Beatles are possibly the #1 band of all time. I personally would put Led Zeppelin above the Beatles, but the Stones are not on the same level.

Ok
 
Not a massive Beatles fan but like them far more than the Stones. Outside of a couple song Stones have never resonated with me.
 
She hates the Beatles
And likes the Stones . . .

She’s my *****
Yeah, she’s my *****

She don’t like flowers
They make her itch
I try to call her baby
She says, “Call me *****.” - Eddie Supersucker

I can buy some arguments on why someone would prefer The Stones, but this is definitely not one of them.
I replied to someone that said the Beatles are more diverse and disagreed. I didn’t make it an argument why they were better. Frankly I don’t care who likes who better. Both are great.

Stones have blues, baroque, country, rock, disco, punk, pop, psychedelia, hard rock, reggae, ska and lounge songs and more in their catalog.
 
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh seriously, you're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something, like "Here Comes The Sun"

Would you rather hear The Stones cover a Beatles album? Or The Beatles cover a Stones album? For me, I'd choose The Beatles covering a Stones album. It would be far more interesting and full of surprises.
 
This is an artificial dichotomy. The debate was a media creation of the '60s. They're both great in their own ways. That is all we need to know.

Just because both are great doesn't mean it's not interesting to ask who you like better. There's nothing artificial about someone's preference.

With that said, it's a pretty difficult question and for me could change at any moment. In this instant I'm saying Stones.
 
I feel like I know and have enjoyed more stones than beatles songs but I also feel like I've never given the beatles a fair shot. Can a stones fan give me the top 10 songs I should listen to and a beatles fan do the same and I'll report back?

I'm absolutely sure you've heard all these.
