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

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

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