The Rolling Stones vs. The Beatles

[awesome 80's]

stones no questions asked. i never cared for the Beatles.

[crazyfan]

Last time i checked the Beatles took the sleaze away from rock. therefore my vote goes the stones.

[Blender]

Don't really like either of em, but if I had to I would go with the Stones.

[Black Sabbath]

I voted The Beatles.

I love 'em both though.

+1

[wheredowegonow]

thats a tough one. the beatles were probably more creative and experimented with more genres. but i like the stones more because im more of fan of blues-rock and i dont listen to much pop rock

[pain cake]

We're only going by the Stones work up to 1970. It would be unfair to judge Stones work post 1970 because the Beatles stopped existing in 1970.

Not true, that's one of the main arguments that Stones supporters use: The Beatles were only around for 8 years and the Stones are still going. And besides, how long a band has been operating for doesn't have anything to do with my opinion on them. The Gunner's didn't last long, and I consider them one of the best bands ever. It's their output that they should be judged on, and even with a 40+ year career, the Stones' output is dwarfed by what the Beatles put out in 8.

it's like a "Compare and contrast Rolling Stones to Beatles" topic... which is stupid, they both are great..! And really different .

They're not really different if you look at The Rolling Stones' 60s-material - they tried to copy The Beatles' every move.

The Who!!!

[Lithium]

Hey, The Who deserve a lot of credit for shaping the 60s and 70s music-scene, as well, they did some amazing and innovative shit, like Tommy, for example.

i agree, i was being half serious. i know a lot of people actually who prefer them to the beatles and/or the stones

im forever posting this but i think its one of the greatest performances by one of the greatest bands ever. whatever the beatles/stones might have had, The Who were the premier live act

Half serious, huh? But I completely agree, The Who are perhaps the best live band ever.

This is my favorite performance by The Who, though, just look at Townshend, he must be stoned out of his mind.

no way the stones had a lot more dirtier sound than the Beatles.

Definately The Beatles in this comparison since you aren't counting Stones albums post 1970. I think some of their best work was in the early 70's (Sticky Fingers/Exile on Main Street).

Listen to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, then listen to Their Satanic Majesties Request. Comprende?

in fact, the beatles wrote their first hit (I Wanna Be Your Man).

but to end this, The Beatles are the greatest band of all times. disagree with me and im gonna go all Jay and Silent Bob on your ass and find out where all of you live, and kill you. thank you for your time

Null vote, i cant choose between em.

Yeah I'd have to say the same, although if it were Stones compared to Beatles by whole discography I'd probably have to say Stones.

WTF!??!? How can you say that? The only way can you justify picking the Stones is by NOT comparing dicography's. God Damn It! The Beatles of the fucking greatest discography in the history of fucking music. Normally I would say "well thats just my opinion," But it's a fact!

This thread disgusts me. You are all morons.

Edit.. and I don't even dislike the Stones...
