The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?

Absolutely The Beatles! I'm not really a Stones fan. I mean, they're quite good, but they haven't got so many good songs as The Beatles at all. The Beatles are legendary.

 

Stones, no contest.

 

did the Beatles ever release anything nearly as bad as Dirty Work?

no contest, sure.

 

Definately no contest... STONES

Early Beatles were just groomed for teeny boppers so its a bit like comparing Guns 'n Roses to the Spice Girls..!!

 

I disagree though, it's definately not like comparing the Spice Girls to GNR, you're way, way off! About almost everyone was groomed in the early 60's.

 

I agree that a lot of the 60's bands were groomed.....The Beatles..The Who...Hermans Hermits... all a bit plastic

The Stones werent and neither were the Small Faces..Geogie Fame and the Blue Flames.... and maybe the Animals and Moody Blues can be added here

 

you dont know your music, obviously...

The Beatles never had people write songs for them, they played all their own instruments, and the voices you hear on Beatles records are The Beatles themselves singing, not session singers.

The Beatles made music for themselves, not for little girls. They dressed how they wanted to and if they were so concerned about selling records they would've stayed with Capitol and not formed Apple Records.


***
ironically, you seem to forget the fact that Mick Jagger was really concerned with what people thought of him. His obsession with keeping up with the pop culture trends almost lead to the band's break-up in the 80s.

 

BS...the "beatle" cut was formed in france while they still had Stu and Pete in the band, and they saw a guy in france with that hair cut and they got stu's girlfirend to cut thier hair like that...

the only thing that is slightly contrived with the early beatles is the suits, but that is how ALL of the early 60's British acts dressed because of, well, thats how they were expected to dress, but make no mistake, they were all leather clad rockers at heart...

also the reason the early beatles music differed slightly from the stones, was cause although they were both heavily influenced by the Black American RnB music scene, the beatles were also highly influenced by the Mowton record label while the sontes were not

BTW- the stones first single was a chuck berry number, thier first #1 was a Lennon-McCartney and it was one the Beatles recorded themselves [a Ringo vocaled tune by the name of I Wanna Be Your Man]

 

I love the Rolling stones... but the beatles are better.

 

the stones are good, but ill choose beatles by a long shot. im a beatle freak.

 

beatlesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ok i got to say the beatles.. ya Rolling Stones are good.. but they dont hold a candle to The Beatles!

 

agreed

there is none other that the beatles...never will have such a phenomonon...

I still think the Rolling Stones TRIPLE in energy...these are two VERY different bands with different music...my taste leans twords the Stones though.....

 

I like the beatles much more.. Never was too fond of the stones.. D= sorry.

 

I like them both, but I prefer the Beatles more.
