Beatles or Stones?

[CGM]

Here's a point of comparison... When's the last time you heard a Stones tune in a department store or a doctor's office, or an elevator for that matter?

For the Stones, hiring Ron Wood was a step in the wrong direction IMO. It would have been better if they had found themselves a real good lead guitarist, which Wood ain't.

I was sitting in the doctors waiting room and a Beatles song came on. Their music was so beautiful. 50 years from now the Beatles songs will still mean something. People will still get it. The Rolling stones of 1964 are the same in 2008. The Beatles of 1964 were not the same in 1966. Thank you Marijuana.

No. Thank you Bob.

The Stones were waaaaaay more versitlie as a band, The Beatles were great but only branched out near the end and then as individual acts.

Absolutely wrong Lyle
The Beatles played folk,big band swing,spirituals,psychedelia,straight rock n roll,country and western,et all
The Beatles used more and more complex instrumentation when noone else was.
I like early Stones,but no way on earth were they more versatile
Elanor Rigby
Your Mother Should Know
A Day In A Life
Act Naturally
Let It Be
Norweigan wood
vs
Satisfaction
Sympathy For The Devil
Brown Sugar
I wanna be your man(written by Lennon/McCartney)
Lets Spend The Night Together
The Last Time

I like the Stones before Jones snuffed it,but it isnt even close,as far as versatility

Rubber soul was their first album while on weed. The LSD thing came later. I'm not saying the weed is good or bad but they did become better song writers.

Some interesting stuff here on the influence Dylan had on Lennon's songwriting

enlighten me. When did the Beatles do Country and Western? And did they ever do a straight ahead twelve bar blues?

They weren't too far behind with the insrumentation and psychedelia (Their Satanic Majesties Request ), they just didn't stick with it.

Act Naturally was a straight C&W song that became a C&W hit by a different artist

ok, that qualifies, but I prefer the Stones country: Dead Flowers, Girl with Faraway Eyes.

Still waitin on that Beatles 12 bar blues though.

[CGM]

Is this even a real question? I sincerely doubt the veracity that anyone even postulating what your 'friends' have are doing so for any other reason than to get a rise out of you. They are busting your Stones. If the Stones never existed, the world would be exactly as it is today. The Beatles? It would be a world unrecognizable to us, in a negative way. If they claim to be serious, have them take an IQ test - they probably won't even break double figures.

The Walrus was Paul. Paul died about the time of Abbey Road. The bare feet prove it.

Of course Id like to even hear the Stones doing proper big band,because "Your Mother Should Know" was allmost perfect fpr the style.
And the most of amazing thing about the Beatles is they did it in such a short time frame. Thats whats allways amazed me about the Clash as well

yeah, but that's not a beatles or a stones song that she's singing. And Townes van Zandt, the artist in my video, is not really known as a bluegrass guy, but he is a great songwriter.
