I love the Stones, as I’ve always been a rock guy. I’m actually more likely to listen to the Stones than the Beatles. However, decades from now, the Beatles will be a in a different stratosphere. I think there’s more that appeals to the average person/music fan. The Stones were meant to be rough around the edges, and I think the rock sound will be considered a relic. The Beatles explored more musical styles, and I think the lyrics will hold up better, as they extend beyond drugs, partying, and heartbreak. Classes are already taught about the Beatles music and lyrics, this doesn’t happen with the Stones.
