Stones totally. Don’t rate the Beatles at all

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.

Thrust · 56-60, M

As a perpetual rebel I much prefer the Stones

MisterMeccano · 56-60, M

Stones. A much more talented band.

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.

@MartiniTime Very well said. I couldn't agree more.

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

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.

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.

Definitely the Beatles. Much broader range of musical styles

Tantrapleasure · 56-60, M

Beatles. I've seen the Stones many time, never did see the Beatles.

Beatles. Far larger variety of songs and much, much better singing.

@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

Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M

@uncalled4 Lennon and McCartney were incredible songwriters. I other group or artist is even close to the number of amazing songs they created.

uncalled4 · 56-60, M

@Harmonium1923 Plenty of "game over" moments where they were concerned. Innovative and ground breaking.
