Voting for GOAT? Beatles.
If I'm choosing which to listen to, depends on my mood. Could be either. Probably a slight edge to the stones.
So you think the Stones are better but you're voting for the Beatles?

Unless you have Led Zep on your hard drive.

but I think that having 4 albums in the top 10 of Rolling Stone magazine best albums, and 3 in the top 5, speaks to the general consensus.

quote:This is actually how I feel about the whole dilemma. It is hard to argue that The Beatles were not the largest, most popular band in the world at that time and most likely of all time. Their music is still being listened to by every generation and will continue to do so for generations to come. Their sound supports that eternal likeness towards poppy music.
So you think the Stones are better but you're voting for the Beatles?
That being said, if I had to choose listening to only one of those the rest of my life then it will be the Rolling Stones every time in every situation. They are 10x the amount of fun than the Beatles produce. And if you aren't having fun then what the frick are you even doing?

Real objective way of looking at it

The whole point of that second paragraph was to be subjective 
The Beatles were bigger but I enjoy the Stones more. Seems pretty self explanatory imo

Beatles - far more influential. The Beatles are the template for all rock bands that followed.
What in the statement about influence is inaccurate?
And The Beatles may not have invented the lead-rhythm-bass-drums rock band template (Buddy Holly/Crickets) but they certainly popularized it. At the same time they solidified the entire band concept (as opposed to support for a star) in rock and roll.

lol you think they're the best selling artist of all time because of their 1962-63 songs?

I looked that thread up for nostalgia's sake. When it comes to bad MB threads, it's gotta be the GOAT

All of it.
They didn't serve as a template going forward. If we're gonna try to shove a band into the category of template for bands that followed, then Led Zep works much much better. Way more bands that followed Led Zep sounded like Led Zep, and probably not coincidentally.
And perhaps I'm misreading what you wrote, but did you just give The Beatles credit for popularizing "a band". I'm pretty sure you did, but surely I'm misreading what you wrote. Please pretty please tell me you aren't arguing that but for The Beatles, there would have been no bands.

Zep influenced heavy metal. The Beatles influenced pop rock, garage rock, folk rock, psychedelia, and if you want to pursue it, even country rock: Roger McGuinn credits the Beatles' cover of Buck Owens' "Act Naturally" as inspirng the Byrds to explore country music, leading to their classic album Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
quote:The idea -- and it's not original with me -- is that the Beatles popularized the concept of a band/collective as an end in itself, rather than a temporary way station for an individual performer. Thus the Stones ended up staying together forever, rather than Jagger leaving for a solo career as soon as his contract ran out, as happened with numerous big band figures like Sinatra, Buddy Rich, Harry James, etc...

When I was young, it was Beatles over Stones, as life aged, it easily became Stones > Beatles.
When I was young, it was Led Zep over Pink Floyd, as life aged, it easily became Floyd > Zep.
Westerberg is a known Stones fan vs Beatles..good enough for me.
