Beatles or Stones?

(1/3) > >>

Brown Eyes:


Hey Friends,

I thought this might be a fun poll.  I, myself, am a pretty devoted Stones fan.  I've seen them 3 times in concert and have a large portion of their large oeuvre in my CD collection, etc.  I admire the Beatles and recognize their contribution to music, etc.  But, honestly they're not really my taste by and large.

So, I voted for the Stones.   ;D

dot-matrix:
I love them both but have just the tiniest preference for the Beatles  ::)  ;D  8)

David In Indy:
I love them both too. Both are excellent musical groups and both bring back many childhood memories for me.  :D

moremojo:
I love them both, and voted accordingly, but I do think the Beatles are more artistically accomplished overall and are historically more important. That said, the Stones have more songs that speak more deeply to my heart ("Fool to Cry", "Memory Motel") than the Beatles comparatively produced, but when they hit this nerve (e.g., "Blackbird"), they are among the most poignant emotional artists the rock genre has produced.

serious crayons:
Good idea for a poll, Bud! I really respect the Beatles for their influence and contribution to rock music. I'm not entirely sure even the Stones would be the same without the Beatles (at least, I think more this than the other way around). Every now and then -- I'm talking once in a decade or so -- I'll get in a Beatles mood and want to hear a bunch of their music.

But I've always been much more drawn to and interested in the Rolling Stones. I've been a huge Stones fan since high school. I can still get excited about old Stones songs.

Whereas the Beatles, aside from that once-a-decade-or-so thing, I can barely listen to now. Mostly because I've just heard all the songs way, way too often.

Another good question would be: Who's your favorite Stone? (Keith, for me.) Who's your favorite Beatle? (George.)
