You can trace the stones influence to all hard rock that followed, as for the beatles, well it's not that easy. So the stones were more influential.

The Beatles for me, they did alot of things others never did.

The Stones were great, but they are not even the best hard rock band, Deep Purple and Leppelin kill them.

It`s 50-50 now...This is exciting..

Anyway....I voted for Rolling Stones.

[Morten..]

Rolling Stones

Definitely the Beatles for me. They are very influential in my opinion. John Lennon and George Harrison were such excellent song writers. They made some great tunes over the years. All the Beatles songs are great and I always find myself listening to them lately. I love the Rolling Stones as well but I don't find them as great as the Beatles were. Mick Jagger often freaks me out with his dance moves lol but both bands were amazing during their time.

beatles

more influential imo

[Wildrose]

Rolling Stones.

[Rumin]

I can't answer. The poll asks two different questions with two different answers.

Who is better? Musically? I guess The Stones. But the Beatles are more important.

[*bad obsession*]

The Beatles in a landslide for me.

I can't find a song by them I don't like.

[darkstar_legend]

More influential / better band --> Beatles by far.

Personal preference --> Stones, but not by much.

I agree with username although I wouldn't say The Beatles were the better band.

It's strange how The Beatles are seen as the Fathers of Pop Music when today, it's mostly singers and not bands who are topping the Pop charts.

I think the Stones is better, but the Beatles are way more important and influental.

[Dachan]

Rolling Stones is nothing compared with the Beatles. Beatless.

The Beatles

The Stones are the better band just based on the range of music styles they have done and they have had some influence on (of course, when you're around 42 years, you gotta diversify). But when you talk of importance, I think each band is the most imporant band ever. The Beatles are the band that really made rock the worldwide phenomenon it is today. The Stones, on the other hand, are the band many people associate the rock n roll attitude and lifestyle with. Furthermore, they made rock the business that it is today, through their massive tours and overall brilliant promotion of themselves.

Stones.The Beatles are just hype that contributed nothing but fluffy songs.

[eschman]

I enjoy the Stones' music more, but I think that the Beatles were more versatile and definitely had a bigger impact on rock music, and on an entire generation. I also don't like the selloutiness of the Rolling Stones, though, to be fair, the Beatles as a band never got to get old together, so we don't know what may have been had they stuck together as long as the Stones have.

Neck and neck! Stones rocked my world. Beatles started it along with other rebels but they are far too mellow for my tastes.

[illusions]

I never really got into the beatles So I'll go for the stones !

[Turn_It_Up]

The Beatles were more influential, but I'd much rather listen to the Stones anyday...
