Which band would you rather listen to, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?

As much as I love The Bealtes.... I can't stand any of their stuff before Rubber Soul. On the other hand, I can listen to any Rolling Stone album. Rolling Stones also have Sympathy for the Devil, which is one of my favorite songs ever, which I perfer over any Beatles song. So its the Stones for me.

Can't there be another option? Elvis, anyone? He is better than both.

If we have to go in more the same vein, I choose Velvet Underground.

I never liked the beatles or the stones.

Beatles, I have a Beatles Greatest Hits Album, One, but no stones. Not a massive fan of either, but got the Beatles as I felt that I should have at least a copy of some of their famous songs. Pretty lame excuse really I suppose!

I love the 64-71 era of the Stones. Some of my favorite songs ever.

Take the Beatles worst record, Let it Be, and it is still miles better than 60% of the Stones albums. This is my logic for picking the Beatles.

Elvis? You're kidding.

I voted for the Beatles. Stones are the U2 of that generation. Blah.

There would be more situations where I would want to hear The Beatles than The Rolling Stones. Therefore they get my vote.

Beatles. I like both, but Beatles.

Dorians choice of Stones albums are spot on, between about 1968-72, the Stones did some great stuff here, but before this its amazing to see them trying to find their feet and copying the Beatles time and time again. Beatles use a sitar on 'Norwegan Wood', so the Stones go and find one for 'Paint It Black'. 'We Love You' is a poor mans 'All You Need Is Love' Beatles stop touring, Stones do the same. And as much as I love 'Satanic Majesties', it's trying desperatly to be 'Sgt Pepper' and it just ain't.

Two great bands. But one is greater. Beatles.

I guess I'm the only other person to pick the Stones, I thought the Stones 2 disc greatest hits was better than the Beatles #1 cd. Of course who doesn't love both.
