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.

You were so close to XTC as an equation man that would have been something, R = (X+T+C), but XTC would have been a stranger comparison The Rolling Stones then Poison, who's the numby numb nuts that thought of "R.S. V. P." anyway??
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)
