re: Friday Music Board Challenge: The Beach Boys vs The Rolling Stones

This is a terrible match up. Way too lopsided and the Beach Boys stood no chance.

This is interesting.

The only band I can think of that would be a legit match up for The Stones would be U2 (hear me out). I think The Beatles would have to be consensus #1 - after that - in terms of hits, influence and longevity are there any bands closer to the Beatles? Zep? The Who? Both great bands but not even in the same league, as far as commercial success goes.
