Would it be a question of duration or sales, stones for a life time in! beats for sales, although if you were to check on it the facts might shake ya up.

I agree with that statement. Then, much like now, music was controlled by mass media and what they would allow across their broadcast/television show. That really pigeon-holed a lot of musicians, and you ended up with Neil Sedaka and the likes. The mid-60s, due in part to the arrival of the Beatles, IMO is when rock and roll really took off. And after the success the Beatles had, and all the other British bands that followed, I think that was a big shot in the arm for rock in America. I don't think the Beatles understood what was about to happen, and I don't personally see what all the hype was about, but to each his own.

So as to the original question, the Stones and the Beatles were both huge players in the creation of rock and roll as we know it, but I still think the Beatles were 'bigger'.
Just my opinions of course.

somebody that knows a bit more about the bands should do a quick search and see
the numbers of each band up to the point the beatles broke up, just to see what the numbers say.

The Beatles are bigger. Even their solo albums are bigger than the Stones' solo albums.

Having said that, I like the Stones better. For what it's worth, there's more songs that I like (per album) by the Stones (even on the best Beatles albums), and the Stones move me more.

The Beatles were/are awesome, but give me some Keef any day...

Why?

I mean, I understand hating a band or their music (I hate Yes and Styx), but why do you hate the Stones?

Beatles ; Only because they were like a ALLSTAR band. As individuals, they had more stars. As a collaborative group, their work was 10x better.

+1. Don't get me wrong, I dig the Stones but The Beatles grew so much as musicians during their years together and wrote such amazing songs. Think about the difference between "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "A Day In The Life" for example. Wow...:mrgreen:

I've never liked them,ever since I first heard them in '64 I guess it was.
About the only song I've ever cared for was Gimme Shelter.
just my personal preference,really,and I've played with lots of musicians who didn't care for them either....
but that's just my two centz. :)maybe hate was too strong a word. :mrgreen:
