Beatles or The Stones?
 

ok here's the poll...

for same reasons as in thread #1

The stones are awesome, but they're not on the same level as The Beatles.

Beetles, hands down...

i agree :thumbsup

no contest...its The Beatles

I picked the Beatles, but the Stones also pretty much rule too.

You must be a real fan if you can't even spell their name correctly.

The Beatles for sure, by far the greatest band the world will ever see.

:1orglaugh

The beatles by a long shot

The Stones by far. The Beatels would have to be one of the worst bands out. And i mean that in a nice way.

The spelling Nazi is back!

i hate the stones...

rolling stones here...

The Stones.

How can the beatles be the superior band when they allowed their ego's and immaturity break up the band in 1970?

The Stones longevity, dedication and determination make them the better band. They have given the world more music and all around entertainment.

The beatles broke up the band over a period of arguments like
a bunch of selfish kids. Regardless of their hits and radio propaganda
they were selfish and immature.

Beatles, all the way! :thumbsup

You gotta hand it to the Stones for sticking together.

I like both but if I had to choose.... Beatles. The Stones may have longevity but the Beatles have versatility. It's hard to get bored of the Beatles. IMHO, at least.

The beatles suck....girlie music too sweet the tragedies brought them eternal
fame.....not their music.

Free Beatle fact: They came up with the idea for the name The Beatles by
Buddy Holly who's band was called The Crickets.

Free Stones fact: Roling Stones drummer Charlie Watts never hits the hi-hat and
snare at the same time.

The Beatles :thumbsup

Better? I say the Beatles is the best band.

Let´s rock!
Only The Rolling Stones !

stones or the beatles?

Beatles forever...:)

Hard choice.. While I'd love the opprtunity to have been able to see the Beatles live, the Rolling Stones put on the best live show I ever saw. So, I'd have to go with the Stones.. :GFYBand

It depends on the song but I grew up as the kid of two Beatles fans so I am more or less always going to say them.

However, I live about five minutes on foot from the train station with Jagger and Richards re-met each other before forming the Stones :)

Motley Crue

Agree. I always thought that The Beatles were the best band ever and the Stones were the coolest. :thumbsup

yes the stones music is good, but the beatles changed the face of music forever including how things are recorded and also in writing styles.

I'm a beatles fan!

That would depend what kind of mood I am in.

I'll have to say the Beatles.

The Beatles for sure
:2 cents: :thumbsup

The Stones by far. Much better sound than the Beatles. The Stones have an edge. The Beatles were too poppy. Sure the Beatles were a good band for their time,but the Stones are just on another level entirely.

Exactly.
The Beatles fantasy is for those who need to escape to an innocent time
thru "artsy" music.The Beatles would never had been able to produce music equal to the Stones thru the 70's, 80's and 90's and now, a new century.

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.

Beatles!

I went with the Beatles. I love their music.. I'm going to put on Abbey Road now. :)

Iron Maiden is better than both

I'am a big fan of the Stones for over 25 years but i also like some of the Beatles' songs

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 ...

SOoooo true. The stones aren't even in the same class as the beatles. As for not breaking up.. jesus.. since when has that ever been a virtue with the bland crap they've pumped out for the last 20 years? 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.

thats a tight fucking race ... i wouldnt want to live without either

The Beatles

I am From 1960's Liverpool so guess?
