Tu che. and since when is Miss You a bad song? I think it personally is one of the better stones song.

It helps that The Beatles never made a mediocre studio album while The Stones have made a few.

The Beatles went out in their prime, The Stones have been way past their prime for over 20 years, imo.

I disagree.

The Beatles broke up when they were still considered great, and that's how people will always remember them.

The Stones will be remembered by many as a band who should've known when to quit. They're reminiscent of a professional athlete who refuses to retire, then ends his career with many people either shaking their heads or booing at his weak performances.

Why do you disagree when that's pretty much what I said only in different words?

It's funny how when a band stops making music has such a huge impact on how good of a band they're considered to be. So how much of a factor is it really? When it comes down to it, does it matter that the Stones made a few mediocre albums when they (arguably) had just as many successful ones as the Beatles?

I like the Beatles more, simply because I enjoy the writing more (espically lennon's obviously). Plus they were more consistant and really grew as a band in a way I feel the Stones didn't do as much.

I'd say the Stones have made more than a few.

But you are correct--the Beatles were consistently great from their debut album through "Abbey Road". I sincerely doubt any other band in history has been that consistent over the course of so many albums. Their output was prodigious, considering the relatively short time they were together, yet the high quality of their music was unquestioned from beginning to end.

See I look at it differently. I see where you're coming from and how you came to your conclusion, but I look at what I consider the best beatles songs, and the best Stones songs, and I see two bands that are pretty equal in terms of lyrical content and musical ability.

I guess for me it's that growing up the first reference point I ever had of the Stones was Jagger making an almighty tit of himself on 'Dancing in the Street'. That isn't something you can easily forget when you're young. It influences you. It took me years to summon up the courage to listen to a Bowie album because of that song.
