August 9, 20196 yr Always been a lame question. Chalk and Cheese. Beatles a unique and fantastic phenomena. No significant influence subsequent pop music. Stones were the original punks, many genre took off from there. Always been a lame question. Beatles a unique and fantastic phenomena. No significant influence subsequent pop music. Both derivative of OUR African American music tradition. Who ended up gettin’ paid? I’d say Stones. They were the original punks, many genre took off from there. Stones still have SOME kind of relevance. McCartney has not released a decent song since 1973. Lennon and Harrison gone, Ringo a crap drummer who got lucky.

August 9, 20196 yr I could probably put on a Beatles tune for every mood I am in - Can't do the same with old gobby Jagger
August 9, 20196 yr I asked an old chap in our Local if he liked The Beatles . Bloody Love em Lad , and then started making a Hunting Horn sound. He thought i said Beagles . Never heard of The Beatles.!.[emoji86][emoji252]Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
August 9, 20196 yr Beatles (that Jagger bloke is an alien for sure) though the pair of them are overrated, overly nostalgic baby-boomer bands at the end of the day. Bring rich sound like Pink Floyd (a non-overrated baby boomer band) into the equation and we'll talk.

Give me Elvis, Roy Orbison, George Jones, Vince Gill. Unlike Peltin Elton, these people have or had great singing voices. What is Bo Rhap? I thought you used to be a professional musician.

But the fact that some people like The Beatles and others The Stones, or Blur vs Oasis, or Beethoven vs Mozart or The Shadows vs The Ventures ( lol ) is what make this world a wonderful place. Remember, one man's meat is another man's poison.

Remember, one man's meat is another man's poison. Yes. I do not like jazz, but I do appreciate the musical ability of jazz musicians, most of my time as a professional musician was playing American country music.
August 10, 20196 yr What often has amazed me over the years is how you can listen to a song and dislike it instantly, then, hear the same song, re-arranged, or performed by another artist/style and it's good. The beauty of music is it's diversity, and we all have different tastes. Just because we don't like a style or musician or group performance doesn't make them "crap" it's just just not to your taste, it doesn't detract from their ability to sell millions of records and attract a huge following and audience.

August 10, 20196 yr Rolling Stones. No question. The Beatles are the most overrated bubblegum band of all time. (For the record, Bruce Springsteen is the most overrated rock soloist of all time).

Record sales dont lie..........the question is who was better, its been answered by record sales, on top of that the "covers" of both bands, Beatles way ahead in both respects.
