Beatles or Stones?

[Formerly D@vid Leeder]

When I was a child, I listened to The Beatles. When I was a teen, I listened to The Stones.

Now I'm a geezer and I listen to both, but too many of The Beatles' songs seem whiny and depressing. The Stones are fun and engaging. The Beatles were great, but over time they don't have that essential ingredient...they made great MUSIC in different styles, but The Rolling Stones made great ROCK AND ROLL!

I like The Beatles and The Stones. Both extremely important bands.

I dont see the need to choose between them because they were completely different. I do think The Beatles were more ecletic and more consistent. The White album is as diverse as you can get in pop music. But if you want a dirty rock album Exile on Main Street is still great.
