And as for the thread's main idea, all the 10 reasons that you've mentioned are perfectly incorrect, except that Mick Jagger is the greatest conman of all time, in my opinion he is second only to Gary Glitter, but still none of the Beatles can compare to him thankfully. In fact, The Beatles were the most marketable looking rock band of their era. However, you can't just mention 10 facts and conclude that one artist is better than another. As a passionate Stones fan, I admit that Beatles are way better and influential musically. On the other hand, The Stones are A rock band. They are the prototype of an average rock band that played the blues, after dumping their covers and just got lucky, they are way more charismatic and cooler than the Hollies. The longevity is an important factor too and it also pulls in millions of $ every year, but still I can't say that they are better. #1 Beatles, and very close #2 Stones, that's how I see it.
