It's quite simple.

B=-(X-C-T)
and R=(X+C+T)

Where B is Love for the Beatles
R is Love for the Rolling Stones
X is intelligence
C is common sense
and T is taste
as such negative intelligence, common sense and taste leads to a large love for the beatles, and vice versa.

I wonder what this inequality will do to Comus' mind.
What if I say...
Neutral Milk Hotel>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rolling Stones>Beatles>>>>> Mountain Ash Band.

:p:

No Mountain Ash Band love :(

Sorry, I've should had said 'irrespective and regardless of the poll numbers...'

And your Beatles equation,B=-(X-C-T), should be simplified to B=(C+T-X) algebraically speaking.

I thouhgt of other factors:
C for Commercialism
M for Musicality
O for Overplayability on the Radio
S for Staying power
U for Undergroundness

I hope my formulae are fair to everyone, both The Beatles' and Stones' fans

The Beatles = (Staying power/Overplayedness)(Undergroundness)+(Musicality/Commercialism)
The Rolling Stones = (Commericalism/Overplayedness)(Musicality)+1/2(Undergroundness + Staying power)

EDIT: o wait I'm not a mod here :(

I'm working on a bass guitarists list right now, and adding an album for each bassist.

And Urban, since you're the Stones expert, I have a question, which album has Bill Wyman's best bass work in your opinion?

I always thought that the live album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! / The Rolling Stones in Concert had a lot of memorable Bill bass-lines.

:laughing:

I just don't think you can compare the Stones to anyone, they're in a league of their own. I still have fond memories of seeing them live a couple of years ago. Keith Richards singing = major orgasms.

Keith Richards, when he was in school (many many moons ago) used to sing soprano in a boys choir.

Stones are genious, Beatles are a band of pussy boys, but they dont sound bad. Anyway, Stones are the best band ever, they own Beatles alot, they bold much better the rock songs and they still do it, all generations love them and they continue spreading magic, they will rock till the day they die, for sure
