heymisterk Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I do love both, but The Beatles are my favs of all-time. Every time I listen to them, I am dazzled. That takes nothing away from The Stones. Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street are absolute masterpieces of rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 It's a hard choice, but I think The Beatles nudge them because of the sheer impact they had on culture, music, society etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The Stones are a good band, but the Beatles were more versatile, some of their work bordered on the symphonic. Â Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCI Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I hate Beatles vs. Stones polls. Their music is very different from each other and I like them both for different reasons. About the only similarities are that they both broke big in the 60's and are from England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I personally think the stones but i'm in love with the song norwegian wood. Tell everyone what you think  Norwegian wood. Isn't it good? I've been playing Norwegian wood and blackbird since moby was a goldfish. They're so full of rythm and melody they sound so good. Now I just need a sitar (and an acoustic lol).

G u e s t Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 . . Â No vote - you may as well ask chalk or cheese. Both great at what they do, but don't compare. Â Beatles - brain, soul, spirit, considered. Stones - guts, libido, viscera, raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 No choice. I grew up with those groups. Our band learned everything they did as soon as it hit the air or the juke-box in the high-school lunch room. Both of them. Very different musical styles, no basis for comparison other than era and country of origin. They are each integral and very vital parts of Rock's evolution.

fast fret Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 It's not so much a comparison just a musical preference, as they are the 2 bands that became VERY famous from the 60s they represent that era, it's the same debate of Zep and The Who, despite being very different musically they achieved the same thing, very loud rock n roll shows. Â The Beatles and the Stones were very different but both achieved thousands of hysterical girls at each show and turned pop into something more. Â It is a kick a55 thread!

charlie brown Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Grew up listening to both, have seen both "Live," at various times, and NEVER compared them! Apples to Tongues! :>) The Beatles have always been, and will always be MY favorite band, but... I like/love the Stones, too...just for what they are/do. Loved the Animals, Yardbirds, Byrds, Dylan, The Kinks, Spence Davis Group, Deep Purple etc...all for what They did. Â CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Both are great bands, the influence of the Beatles beyond music places them ahead of the Stones in my book. But after reading "Many Years From Now", Paul's Bio, it is interesting just how close the members of the two bands were and still are, they would even coordinate release dates for their records so they wouldn't knock each other off the charts. Paul turn Mick on to pot, in his book he states how they thought the whole image of the Beatles being the "good" band & the Stones being the "bad boy's" was so funny. During the recording of the Sarg. Peppers, The White Album, Mystery Tour, and the Let it Be album Jagger and some of the other Stones were always present in the studio.
