Well after weighing in on the Sabbath vs. Led Zepp thread it made me wonder where people stand on this one...
My Vote is for the Beatles..

But you can't go wrong with either one.
Weren't the Stones the Beatles' favorite band?

Every time someone says the Beatles were "overrated," a tiny piece of our collective souls die.

|  | There are some who call me.......Sactobass | | Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Sacramento California | | | I voted for the Moptops, the Fab Four, the group whose drummer "has a hole in me pocket" (and blisters on his fingers), and whose bass player is the Walrus.
IMO, their level of musicianship and creativity trumps the Stones by a long shot, but that's just my humble opinion.

Hard to find a most diverse bands ever, from the moment they arrived in '63 to the departure in '69. They covered it all: each album stands on its own merit totally different and unique. They're the only band I know of that took it all in 6 years. From the strip clubs in Germany to Knighthood.
The Stones followed the Beatles, Zep followed the Beatles, the Beach Boys followed the Beatles. They set it up for the world. Music will never ever see anything like it again.

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.

oh, and, of course...the Beatles...the stones WERE great (emphasis on the "were"), but the Beatles were the GREATEST.
every album a winner, every song a masterpiece....there will never be another Beatles.

While John and Paul sang most of the leads, George sang quite a few, and even Ringo on occasion. Stones always had a great groove, but vocally it was pretty much "All Mick, all the time"...

Yeah, I was gonna say...if anything, The Stones were Beatle fanboyz.
Jagger & Jones used to hang out with them, right?
