Overuse of the word badass ... Gimme (note spelling) Shelter is a great record .. possibly my favourite Stones track .. name me 5 decent songs they did in the last 10 years

Thats comparing apples and oranges:
Rolling Stones = Sloppy band with roots in the blues
The Beatles = More refined group with emphasis on melodics
......... and Im grateful for both

I'm actually surprised by how close this poll is! I thought the Beatles would run away with it. Alas, I chose the Stones. I wasn't exposed to the Beatles much as I was growing up but my parents still go to Stones concerts when they tour!
All you need to do, in order to see what influence the beatles had, and just how big they were, is go back and watch some of the footage of them in their early years of popularity- they were the template for pretty much every rock band that followed. They were one of the first (if not THE first) to write their own songs, and those songs were catchy, quick, and hooked the most important audience for them- the US.
As things went on, they got REAL experimental with the music, the drugs, etc. and though some of the songs suffered for it, they still were able not just to make hits, but songs that hold up even today.

I asked myself, " Just how good, musically, were the Beatles?".
Very simply, musicalogically and ethniically, The Beatles were essentially empirical mélanges of a rhythmically radical but yet verbally passe and temporarily transcended lyrical content welded with historically innovative melodical material, transposed , transcended and transmogrified by the angst of the beatlesque ethnic experience which elevated them from essentially alpha exponents of in essence millibeta potential harmonic material into the prime cultural exponents of an alien codensed cosmic stanza form.
I think most of you would agree.

The Beatles are the greatest ever. They paved the way for the rest. I like the Stones, the Doors , etc. The Beatles were pop music in the beginning but evolved and experimented and they could play anything and make it work. As for the great bands since them...well there are a few...but they weren't around long. And music today, there are some good ones out there, but music today is so diverse it's tough to say who has a great influence. Some of todays music is good....most in my opinion is noise and the rest I wouldn't call music at all.
