I'm a big fan of both, but the Beatles influence on pop music is undeniably more important.

Before The Beatles pop music was doo-wop, Elvis, late 50s sha na na type stuff, what was left of the Buddy Holly legacy, and I guess we had surfer music.

The Beatles changed all that. Everything after them was different and their influence is still recognizable in everything you hear today.

killed it.

Beach boys and Dick Dale hung on but everything was going to change. All music is sort of that by nature with reinterpretation, borrowing, and out right stealing. This was the Stones. Those other four guys tapped into the consciousness of the day. And the choice was almost binary between (the new) and most everything else (the old). If for no other reason than the choices were fewer pre-web. . .

They were innovators.

I agree with this. But I like the Stones more.

While I don’t deny their importance to music and pop culture in general, I just don’t care for the Beatles music much at all.
