The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?

If you had to choose to listen to only one...why?

Beatles. Nothing against the Stones but I see them as just a good rock n roll band. The Beatles changed music. Heck they changed the world.

Beatles hands down...you listen to every album they ever made, and none of them were the same..

Beatles! Their evolution as a band and song writers is AMAZING to me. The Stones got famous doing covers of old Blues Tunes......which is not a bad thing, but from a creativity standpoint, the Beatles win. Even the name is creative.....BEATles....the beat....the play on words.

BUT, if you go by guitar riffs and sheer rockability........the Stones would win.

The Beatles did a lot more interesting stuff. They wrote something like 300 original songs. It's amazing that the same guys did 8 Days A Week, Eleanor Rigby, Lovely Rita, Get Back, and on and on.

Stones. Beatles are so over played, over covered by the media. It's great music but so over exposed, I cringe every time I hear one of their songs.

The Beatles take me for a ride thru many places and many colors. Across the universe is a movie I can watch many times over.

The Beatles were good, but the stones are still around. Keith Richards wrote a book called Life, it's pretty good.

One more thing........did Clapton ever play on a Stones tune? NOPE, but he did for the Beatles ....... While my Guitar Gently Weeps. Look it up.

Beatles. Far larger variety of songs and much, much better singing.
@uncalled4 this is super hard, though. I love the Stones. Love the Beatles too. I’d give it to the Beatles by just a hair based on the library of work, but Stones are an awesome band and the rough part for them is they were during Beatlemania and got a bit overshadowed by the Fab Four or else they’d have even been bigger. Terrible question. Ugh.
@uncalled4 technically the Stones have a bigger library, though. I’d argue the Beatles have a bigger catalog of hit songs, though.

Beatles 12 studio albums 208 songs

Stones 25 studio albums 422 songs
