The Poojer Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I'm a Beatles guy so in my eyes every one is a distant third/fourth(The Who being #2). For me a better poll would be The Kinks vs. The Stones Better poll would be: Beatles vs Doors
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Here's John Lennon himself to tell you why there is no comparison - the Beatles originated and the Stones copied. Seeing as how it is John, definitely NSFW. Edited March 6, 2015 by ChevyVanMiller
Greg F Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Hands down the Beatles. Second place, no matter who you want to pick, isn't even close.
coloradobillsfan Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Most of my friends argue with me Led Zep vs The Beatles. The Stones don't even come up.
Mark80 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 The Stones have 10 great songs. The Beatles have 10 great albums.
Max Fischer Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Most people like the Stones but if given a chance to see bands in their prime, they would not make most Top 10 lists. Beatles a clear #1, and then depending on my mood it could be Kinks, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Doors, The Band, Queen, Nirvana, Bowie, Hendrix, CCR, Beach Boys, The Ramones, Santana, Uncle Tupelo, Cream, Elvis, Talking Heads, Skynard, The Clash,
Fan in San Diego Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I love them both. Cant decide which is better.
Helpmenow Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 The Stones have 10 great songs. The Beatles have 10 great albums. That makes no sense! Better poll would be: Beatles vs Doors Again this makes zero sense!
Chef Jim Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I'm not a big fan of either but I am a big fan of innovation and taking a risk. The Stones pretty much had a style and stuck with it. The Beatles innovated with albums like Sgt. Pepper and The White Album so they get my vote. Edited March 6, 2015 by Chef Jim
coloradobillsfan Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I like the Stones better than the Beatles. Exactly.. you have to define what 'better' means in this question or it's hard to get anything close to an answer
Gugny Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 This isn't a throwdown. It's more like Mike Tyson vs. Danny Bonaduce. I have a TON of respect for the Stones. But they don't even come close to the Beatles with regard to musical talent, lyrical talent or overall influence on music as a whole. In fact, no one does.
Delete This Account Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 i like the Beatles,but my god, when it comes to rock and roll, the Stones are it. i care not to read through this thread since a "majority" are absolutely wrong. and i mean that sincerely. jw
