10 Reasons Why The Rolling Stones Were Better Than The Beatles

Howard the Duck · 06-15-2011, 05:11 AM

i'd add - no Brian "Elmo" Jones. that's why

he's a clear linkage from the Delta blues to the British blooze

the beatles never released an album as bad as goats head soup or emotional rescue

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.

I like both. I think most people (maybe over 30's) would probably recognise more Beatles songs than any other band. . . . . . . . . . .I wonder how many songs you could hum or whistle along to? I reckon over a thousand.............

Your answer is in this question. What's The Beatles best live album?

SGR · 07-05-2011, 04:57 PM

Rethinking it, The Stones have 3 or 4 flawless albums while the Beatles don't have a single one. (Abbey is screwed over by Octopus's Garden and Revolver is messed up by Yellow Sub)

starrynight · 07-05-2011, 05:23 PM

Octopus's Garden is great.

The Monkey · 07-05-2011, 05:25 PM

The Beatles never had 33 active years without releasing any good material.
