The Rolling Stones or the Beatles? (rock, neil young, quote, bands)

sarxist · 05-30-2007, 08:30 PM

As far as nitty gritty deep rock and roll goes The Stones win. The Beatles take care of the melodic and experimental side. Neil Young once said that rock n' roll could be split into two styles, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Someone like Neil Young would be in the Rolling Stones camp, whereas a band like Jethro Tull would be on the Beatles side. What's your opinion?

That the Beatles piss all over the Stones.

There's honestly no comparison, the Beatles are just so much better. If they wanted to they could have been a great rock band, mirroring the Stones, except for the singing.

My opinion is Neil Young is a shitface.

Tom Waits once said "they fill the children full of hate to fight an old mans war, and die along the road to peace"

This is no different.

I think they are both overrated.

This is personally a hard choice for me because I liek both bands. I picked the Stones because of their memorable guitar riffs.

I pick The Beatles because I have a hard time telling Rolling Stones songs apart. So much for memorable, eh?
