Beatles or Stones?

<< < (2/3) > >>

        Well I voted for both.  I find I am a mood music person..  Not to set a mood, but the music that I am in the mood to hear.. If I am in the mood for strong gutteral and soul raking music, I like to hear the Stones...If i am in the mood to be lightened up or feel silly, then I tend to listed to the Beatles.  So I think they make the right music for the right attitude, and combining the two makes the ability to grab exactly what you are searching for...

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

Hey Bud!  I think these are great suggestions!  I think I'm going to start polls about both of these topics.  So, look for them here in Polling Place. And, of course I'll give you proper credit for the ideas!

To me (a Heathen), The Beatles are to Heath as The Stones are to Jake.  I mean, I keep up with Jake's career, but I don't go over every little interview for nuance, or have his wardrobe memorized.  :laugh:

Really, it's like there is a multi-leveled pantheon, and The Beatles are in the top (or maybe second tier).  The Rolling Stones are just one tier below, in a many-tiered pantheon.

BUT, as crayons just said, I have heard and heard and heard them Beatle songs, and rarely choose them to listen to (although this may largely be due to their music not being available on iTunes, since I don't own my LPs anymore).  I did download about 12 Stones songs from iTunes.  Which, you may ask?  :)

Yes, I certainly do ask!

And after you reveal the answer, I'll see if I can list whatever my 12 favorite Stones songs would be. And my 12 favorite Beatles songs. And others can post theirs.

To me, and I know this isn't at all in the spirit of the analogy you were making (this is more about cultural archetypes than personal responses), the Beatles are to Tom Sawyer as the Stones are to Huck Finn. Or the Beatles are to Richie as the Stones are to Fonzie. (Or, to reeeaaally stretch it, the Beatles are to Mick as the Stones are to Keith; the Beatles are to Paul as the Stones are to John.). One is sort of the original basic form, without which the whole thing might not have existed. But the other is the cooler manifestation.
