Fact is, you can't compare The Stones to the Beatles. Both are awesome bands and I could probably pick an equal number of songs from each that I like.

The Beatles took over the world in the 60s. The Stones were runners-up. Only now is there a question. A question more of the Beatles success versus the Stones' longevity.

I think it would have been different if Lennon had lived, but you do have a point.

Shogun, why so disparaging of the Beatles and Stones? I don't see any hagiography on this thread, just appreciation by their fans.

then you haven't read the fucking thread. Indeed, had you made the attempt you'd have known that I have yet to disparage the Stones at all.

Lemme guess... Rubber Soul changed your life too, eh?

Nope, but anger management classes might change yours!!

me? angry? Perhaps you put a little too much weight in the bucket of your own significance, chap.




now, SING IT WITH ME!


Here's another clue for you alllll... THE WALRUS WAS PAUL.

Stones are great because they have a raw, gutsy sound that speaks to many generations. But for pure musicality, Beatles songs are superior (as a whole) to almost any group from any time. They just had two of the greatest songwriters competing to see how much material they could write, and it pushed both of them to be better than they would have been alone.

Yea, but did Lennon or McCartney ever snort their father's ashes?

Keith Richards tells of snorting his dad's ashes with cocaine

I do not own one beatles or stones album.

I was always of the opinion that they both suck
