re: Beatles or Stones?

However, The Beatles set the table for everyone else. ... including the Stones.

I see this point a lot, but its not even really a valuable point in a debate on the topic

Every musician has influences, if its impossible for a band to be better than its influences then whoever was the largest influence on the Beatles should be who we are talking about, but its not.

That said, I think the Beatles are a world apart from the Stones musicially.

I'd still rather go to a Stones concert or listen to a Stones record more though.
