even though i haven't read all of the posts
i'm willing to bet this isn't the first time that was said!

I know its by the wayside...but the stones had a far cooler image than the beatles ever did...and it wasnt constructed by their manager.

Stones... Partly because I simply prefer their stuff, but when there are two bands as gold as these two, I sort of look at secondary traits, and being a great live performer is pretty high up there on the list IMO. Even though the Beatles focused more on creating studio albums, the ability to be a great live band is something different altogether and just as difficult in many aspects. There are plenty of bands where I hate their studio albums but I would willingly shell out a bit of dough to see them live simply because of the quality of their live performances.

for sure
stones were cooler

but i didn't like their music as much

in fact
according to me
they only did one good song

'under my thumb'

<-- will NEVER be a music critic

For the most part, both bands were active during the same years. The majority of great Stones albums were concentrated between 1965 & 1972, which almost mirrors the Beatles.

But vastly different sounds and images, I agree.

My favorite is easily 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'...and I am probably not a hardcore fan because I love all their popular singles: Gimme Shelter, Satisfaction, Paint It Black, etc. They a had a bunch.
