It's just sort of a fact of life. The Beatles are better.
Could it be your disdain for the Rolling Stones be both futile and obvious?

What is the difference between a greater band and a better band?
Can you comprise and say that The Beatles are a greater band and the Rolling Stones are a better band?

I don't understand your "futile and obvious question" remark. If a question could be futile how does it make it automatically obvious? It is often said that there are no dumb questions just dumb answers. It is also generally known that questions that have obvious answers are generally unnecessary to ask, but how does that make a question both futile and obvious?
