Not one "All The Young Dudes" reference yet?

A sub-par album with at least 3 crushing all time classics - one of them possibly being the greatest song of all time.

I like both but if I had to choose it would be The Stones. Put on Can't You Hear Me Knockin' and tell me the Beatles had anything close to this.

Fan of both, but prefer the Beatles. They are The Standard. And there are no Stones w/o the Beatles, Mick has said that himself.

The Beatles had the advantage of probably the best producer in music history.

I'm a Beatles fan and this is a great point.

Andrew Loog Oldham was no slouch either.

Imo, the problem between the two (early Beatles and early Stones), was the engineering. It was like night and day.

The Stones earlier recordings sound like they were recorded in a stairwell, while the Beatles earlier recordings were so clean and clear. Compare songs like "Time Is On My Side" to "I Feel Fine". It's night and day.

Tribute that to their studios and engineering.

LOL…The Beatles have sold more records than The Stones and Led Zeppelin combined in that 8 year “flash”. Pretty successful “flash”. Also, Lennon, McCartney & Harrison all had #1 albums in their solo careers. Even Ringo had two #1 singles. Can’t say that about any member of the Stones or LZ. FYI… I love the Stones & LZ. Grew up listening to both every day. Saw both live at the LSU Assembly Center in the late 1970’s. Both top 5 bands of all time in my opinion. But The Beatles are the GOATS! Everyone has their own personal preferences.

Just the Beatles 1964-1965 catalog blows any other group out of the water.

Yes, if you bought the 45 or especially album.

On AM radio it didn't matter. Fuzzy Mono seemed to work just fine.

I got from a book called, curiously, Beatles vs Stones

I hSean O’Mahony, publisher of both bands’ official fan magazines starting respectively in 1963 and 1964, crafted and softened their public images. He opines: “The Beatles were thugs who were put across as nice blokes, and the Rolling Stones were gentlemen who were made into thugs by Andrew [Loog Oldham, their manager].” McMillian accepts this as closer to the truth than the bands or their fans might admit during the next half a decade.onestly don't remember who said it
