In saying that the stones were a better band wheres the proof? Are you fucking kidding me? You are comparing Britney fucking spears to the God-damn beatles!!? There is a big difference between the shit that is being played now to what the beatles, stones, and the who did. The main thing was the Beatles and the stones competed against eachother and the beatles won. In every fucking category. Only place the beatles lacked was in ringo. The Beatles are the best.
The Beatles VS. The Rolling stones

Eggsactly! :thumbsup:
One day, I might be in the mood for The Beatles Revolver album. I might want to go on a picnic. My girl could wear a cute sundress and those strappy/Roman cork sandals that I like so much. We'll listen to Good Day Sunshine, Yellow Submarine and Eleanor Rigby. It'll be fun and nice and romantic. And that's fine. :lovecoupl
But then on another day, I might be in the mood for Sucking in the 70's or Beggars Banquet. And when Mannish Boy, Street Fighting Man or Sympathy for the Devil start playing... I want to see (nothing more than) black lace panties and a French bra, and strappy black fuck-me heels. Cause, "I got nasty habits" (Live With Me) - and there's nothing wrong with that either. :nannerf2:
Two very different bands with two very different musical approaches. And everybody has, and is entitled to, their own opinion on the matter. Like you said, there is no (one) right answer.

the Stones, all the way.
The Beatles are a pop band. They just happen to be a pop band that had so much talent in it that you could take the 3rd songwriter in the group and assemble a set of songs that most groups would call their greatest hits. Genius is a term flung about at will these days. McCartney bled songs from both wrists. His saccharine tendencies were nicely balanced out by Lennon who bled from the heart. Sometimes a very black heart for it's time.
The Stones never were a pop band, even when they were obviously trying to be one. As someone else has noted they had a great drummer where the Beatles did not. They had a great guitarist where the Beatles did not. Harrison only became good later in his career - and even then never put a stamp on a style or sound (how could he, the Beatles were forever evolving.)
So, even as a Liverpudlian, I would say the Beatles had more imagination but the Stones had more execution.

not messing with you but charlie is a great drummer? c'mon now.
keith - good guitar with a style his own(and chuck berry's) but great?
mick taylor was the best guitar stones ever had.
good post though:thumbsup:
You know even as a big beatles fan I never gave Ringo much credit as a drummer untill my brother and I got to see "the concert for bangladesh" a bunch of times for free.The guys at the entrance booth of local drive in (which we don't have any more of in NJ) would leave for the night right after the beginning of the last showing at about midnight and you could just drive in free after that,so for a week we did.
The Band Harrison had put together for the concert included 2 drummers ,Ringo being one of them and while I would still not call Ringo one of the best ever I gotta say he was way better then the other guy.
No argument here. I'm not saying Charlie Watts is J Bonham or (insert genius here) but he is the perfect drummer for the Sones. ie he adds to the chemistry. Keef is no Jimi Hendrix, however, even in a band where the other guitarist (as you rightly pointed out Mick Taylor or Brian Jones) is more competant ,our Keef put his stamp and style on the band. I didn't think we were talking about Clapton or Stevie Ray etc but great groups.
Do not for one minute think I'm dissmissing Mr C Berry, he just wasn't in the Stones.
