11. The Beatles bought from George Jung. The Stones bought from Frank Lucas and Jung-post-incarcaration-era.

Keith and Mick the coolest guitarist and frontman ever? Hahaha, no seriously.

I love them both, but since The Who own them both this is irrelevent.

Many people think musically that was their most innovative. Their chord progressions amazed people like Dylan.

This is not a issue to me The Beatles trounced the Stones at everything except copying Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.

Yeh but do the Stones have 100 great songs? Are the Stones music is widely as interpeted as the Beatles? The answer is no. Please the Stones were a covers band until the Beatles inspired them to write their songs. There is plenty of filler on all their albums.

The Stones were better at doing the Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry thing. The Beatles were better at everything else. The Beatles were better doing the pop thing they revolutionized it from everthing backward instrumentation to guitar feedback. The Beatles were more complex and innovative.

The Beatles did the prog thing better also and they helped influenced it also. The Stones for the most part floundered except for some instances like "She A Rainbow' or "2000 Light Years from Home"..

The Beatles, for instance, used so many scales including for example: diatonic, chromatic, whole tone, pentatonic, hexatonic, heptatonic have five, six, and seven tone scales, respectively.
used in prehistoric music: ditonic or two, tritonic or three, tetratonic or four
used in jazz and modern classical music: octatonic or eight. Also, diminished, augmented, minor and major scales were used by the Beatles.

Man I can't choose between them... They are both two of most important bands in history! I also think Keith has been preserved really well. My grand kids will enjoy listening to him! LOL Honestly, without the Beatles, I don't think the Stones would have been as successful. The Beatles opened the world up.

Yes Mick is an amazing frontman! The best, I don't know... But he knows the game and has been successful at it! It's a toss up! I can sit and listen to both of them all day!

Well, Frank Zappa said in an interview that he liked The Rolling Stones more than The Beatles, so I guess they are better.

I took this entire thing as a joke, especially when the two bands were compared in the 70s. The Beatles broke up by 69, so it doesn't make sense to compare their side projects to the Stones.

I haven't listened to anything significant by the Stones, so I don't have an educated opinion.

Forgive me for not reading all 23 thread pages here -

My first thought reading the title is The Rolling Stones would win in a fair fight.

There`s always been more of them and they have an extra advantage now only two Beatles remain!
