Duke Ellington didn't quit before his 30th birthday
Miles Davis didn't quit before his 30th birthday.
B.B. King didn't quit before his 30th birthday.
Ray Charles didn't quit before his 30th birthday.

I like the Beatles, but they broke up because they were only thinking of themselves and not the rest of the world.

STONES FACT: Mick Jagger is said to be worth $900 million dollars. (why doesn't he quit? He loves the music)
STONES FACT: Charlie Watts stabbed Keith Richards in a fit of rage.

you gotta be kiddin. First, if it's for "artsy", then let's forget about the best Stones songs, those from the Brian Jones era. After that, they made a couple of good tunes and then... repeat year, after year, after year, after year. No surprise Keith Richards said "there's only one song in the air". At least in his head is a proven fact :1orglaugh

If it's for edge, I would never, ever listen a band of 60 years old grandpas pluggin a Telecaster trying to look cool and playing the same song for... 40 FUCKING YEARS!!! :Oh crap

then your first statement is hilarious, you're comparing composers which in their solo careers took very different and definite ways, making some incredible music (as well as some of the crappiest things ever done, thanx Sir Paul) to a band not creating a NEW tune since Exile on Main Street :helpme

OK, case closed, even tho I LOVE Brian Jones' Stones, Beatles rules by far, there's no comparisson to start with other than they started at the same time.

Aw, and the "they still rock" argument is one of the things that decide me against them, get a grip and fucking quit robbing! :mad:

Close one, but prolly have to go with the Stones ...

They don't say "It's far better to burn out than to fade away" for nothing. The Hives - a blatant stones rip off is making better stones music than they have in the last 2 decades.

The Stones have my vote... :2 cents: :thumbsup

apples.....oranges......but i voted for the beatles.

During my schooldays both were the biggest bands around, and it was also well known they were doing deals over new material release times -
Who was best? I don't know - I liked both - Both were from the uk and there wasn't a single band around who could touch them - Uk 2 usa 0

And even they really only have three songs they do over and over again in a slightly different tempo. Yet, they are entertaining.
