The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones

[Merkurie]

Yeah I think Brian's loss changed the Stones path, but Brian was out of the band when he died. I think Keith wanted a more blues based sound than where Brian wanted to go, and there was rivalry between him and Mick I hear. I don't really know much about that split though.

It would have been fun to hear where the Beatles would have gone had they stayed together through the 70s. The Beatles are the 60s to me, and Led Zeppelin, The Stones, Queen Black Sabbath etc are the 70s. I don't know if the Beatles could have continued.

Stones were a rock band.

Chalk and cheese.

This is simple The Stones are the greatest Rock and Roll Band ever, however the Beattles spoke to and about a generation and changed history. Beatles is the answer on a head to head competition or if you had to load your iPod with only one bands music.

Dead Kennedys were better than the 2 of em

Beatles from Revolver on were definitely not a pop band. Listen to Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery, Abbey Road, White Album those albums my friend is some serious rock and roll music, some of the best of all-time.

Remember the Beatles only performed once live as a band after Revolver was released in August of 1966 on the rooftop of Apple HQ, not even a concert just a jam session. I bring up this point because I think to mature as a band and have songs really reflect their true identity the songs must be explored and played live to fully appreciate the essence of the song.

Too Drunk to Fuck more of a classic than Hey Jude, A Day in the Life, Let it Be or Eleanor Rigby I can see that.

Hey Jude, A Day in the Life, Let it Be or Eleanor Rigby

This is my issue. I know these songs are legitimate classics. I just don't like any of them. No offense intended at all. I recognize The Beatles like I would Frank Sinatra. Great talent but not my thing. I don't like The Who either and am not crazy about Zeppelin. I'm a Sabbath guy and Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath was my first album.

I spent my teens dissing the Beatles, mainly because I was sick of listening to people go on and on about how great they were and how important John Lennon was blah blah blah.

But later after I calmed down a bit and realized how many songs they had made and how many tunes that I liked were in fact Beatles songs, I gave in and admitted that they did not suck.

They will never mean to me what they mean to my parents generation, but they did record a bloodly lot of catchy tunes.
