I have a few Stones albums in my collection, but no Beatles. That's not likely to change.
Early Stones, latter Beatles.
The Beatles, all day everyday. The best band of all time.
The Stones are ridiculously overrated IMO.
And Lyle, unless you count the ability to play shitty disco as the pinnacle of diversity, the Beatles were waaaaay more versatile than the Stones.
The Beatles were the most popular pop band of all time, no doubt about it, although personally I find a lot of their stuff overrated, IMO.
Musically they were probably ahead of their time, George Martin had something to do with that. So many great melodies also. But lyrically? Browse through their song catolog and make note of how many of their songs were filled with incredibly trite, inane, downright silly lyrics. But I guess lots of people like that kind of stuff.

Beatles never understand the Stones
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Yesterday is the most covered song in history. Frank Sinatra said Something was his favorite love song. Rolling stone magazine rated the 100 greatest albums of alltime. 4 of the top 10 were Beatles albums and 6 of the top 20. With over a half a billion albums sold world wide,that just about says it all.
Agreed on Lennon. Most of the silly stuff can be blamed on McCartney I'm sure. Harrison didn't write a lot of the songs for the Beatles, but there were a few. If I Needed Someone, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Something were all Beatles standouts by Harrison. In their last couple of years, Lennon and McCartney collaborated less and less, and generally sang their own songs.
