Beatles - Wrote chart friendly pop songs & ballads. Stones wrote gritty hard rock songs

5. The Beatles had to have their faces on album covers , The Stones could stick a picture of a toilet on theirs & still have it sell millions.

6. Stones - The 70s , Exile On Main Street, Sticky Fingers, It`s Only Rock n Roll
Beatles - The 70s , Wings , Yoko Ono`s songwriting & Ringo Starr solo albums *shudder*

7. The Beatles stopped touring because they couldn`t hack it , Keith Richards played an entire gig at gunpoint.

8. Charlie Watts would never lower himself to doing Thomas The Tank Engine voiceovers.

9. Paul McCartney - The Frog Chorus , Mick Jagger - She`s The Boss.
Both bad yes but if forced at gunpoint I know what i`m going to choose.

10 Apperence , looking like you just got dragged from the street > Matching suits. How many bands these days look like this...



And how many bands these days look like this ....



No contest
It's all opinion. If you like the Beatles appearence, music, and lyrics you listen to the Beatles. Likewise for Rolling Stones. Songs about sex , drugs , deprevation , heartache , rejection , revenge & decadence are not necesarily better than the Beatles love songs, thats just what you may be into. You can only say that The Rolling Stones are a better band then the Beatles in your opinion. They maybe more musically talented then them but they're not better than them.
