I've only ever seen one Stones fan on here like that compared to hundreds of Beatles fans who are like that.

Yeah maybe Beatle fans are a little more extremist.

This makes no sense to me, theBeatles evolved with the times and were on the vangardt (sp?) weren't they?

Meanwhile the Stones are a laughing stock now.

Yeah how silly of me prefer gritty R&B to that :rolleyes:

If I want a band who 'evolved with the times and were on the vangard' I'll listen to Can instead thanks.

I'm sorry did you say Can?

My problem with Stones fans is that they're usually elitists of the "It's only good if it's rock n roll" varieity.

The kinda people who think any display of technical ability, a song lasting more than 4 minutes or musicians embracing any influence outside of rock n roll, country and blues is automatically pretentious.

I didn't say anything about what you should prefer, I just don't think many people would agree that the Stones have evolved better then the Beatles did.

I mean it's apples and oranges sure but it is what it is

I don't want to debate tastes, I'll always win if that's the format.

Names, Dates, Times

:D

I'm sorry, is this Can?

Old-school Beatles fans have always viewed the Stones as a threat. I know a lot of folks from the 60's and I always like to put them on the spot, as if I was interrogating them, and sternly ask...who do you like better? Nearly all have an emotional response favoring the Beatles, which they quickly reinforce with reasons like, "I saved scrap-books of all their pictures", "the Beatles were going to change the world", "they really believed in peace and harmony" yada yada yada. Almost as quickly as it began, Beatlemania began to wane with the release of the White Album, and by 1970 you had Altamount, Mick Jagger was in fact the biggest rock star in world, and the Beatles were finished. Pretty depressing scenario if you happened to be a Beatles fan. I think there's still a little resentment and may be even some blame placed on the Stones for the Beatles demise.
