Jim in Anchorage 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 100% Agree. Beatles are elevator music, Stones bad ass rock.
bbb Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Exactly. I think everybody kind of gets into rock music by being introduced by The Beatles, but then you step it up to The Stones. This isn't even my favorite song, but this rocks so much harder than any Beatles song ever. Those horns!:

Mark80 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) That makes no sense! It means that while the Rolling Stones have a some great songs, the Beatles have collection of great albums all plastered with great songs on them which makes them significantly better in my mind. 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 Nah, the majority of us just read the title and answered the poll. It doesn't say which band rocks harder or is more rock and roll, it just says "Beatles vs Stones" and "Which is the better band?" Edited March 6, 2015 by Mark80

I believe the Rolling Stones defined Rock-n-Roll. I just think the Beatles put a bigger mark on the greater umbrella of "music," therefore making them the "better band." If the question was, "who's the better/purer rock-n-roll band?" then I'd say the Stones, hands down.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I'm not a huge fan of either I chose the Stones.
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones. We never got it off on that revolution stuff. What a drag too many snags.

Considering the only instrument Mick can play is his lips -- the Beatles are clearly the winner. Edited March 6, 2015 by Show Me The Baby

Considering the only instrument Mick can play is his lips -- the Beatles are clearly the winner. He plays all kinds of instruments, you just don't usually see him since the vocals are his thing... Guitar, drums (other percussion), harmonica... Etc..
Fan in San Diego Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I think Pink Floyd should have been included in the poll. And I still couldn't answer who is better even with Pink Floyd tossed in there.
gomper Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 This topic is silly. You might as well take a poll on which are your favorite bj's. Greatness is greatness.

Definitely that single mom who stopped half way through to answer the door, pay the pizza guy and then returned to finish the job before we ate the pizza.
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Definitely that single mom who stopped half way through to answer the door, pay the pizza guy and then returned to finish the job before we ate the pizza. LMAO... I always thought "Waiting on a Friend" was The Stones best song! Actually, written almost 10 years earlier during "Goats Head Soup"... But released on Tatoo You.

No one is "absolutely" wrong as taste in art is universally subjective.

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I still haven't voted. Is there an abstain box I can check?
Helpmenow Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 100% Agree. Beatles are elevator music, Stones bad ass rock. Elevator music. I guess you don't listen much. Go read some Books put out by Mark Lewishon The Who were overrated. Fact. Overated by you maybe, Huge influence with Pete and Keith. Go listen to Live at Leeds. LMAO... I always thought "Waiting on a Friend" was The Stones best song! Actually, written almost 10 years earlier during "Goats Head Soup"... But released on Tatoo You. Been a fan since 65, not even close. You like it that's all that matters. Goats head came out in 73. Tattoo you in 81 I think Pink Floyd should have been included in the poll. And I still couldn't answer who is better even with Pink Floyd tossed in there. Far from Rock n Roll here. Like them however. This like saying who was better Wayne gretzky or Mario
