Beatles or Stones?
I like the Stones and think the top decile of their portfolio is extremely high quality - with 5-7 all-timers.
But the Beatles' hit rate is just insane. Probably 90% of their songs are in the overall top quartile of pop/rock. And there are more like 30+ all-timers.

The Beatles were clean cut with pop friendly music and the Stones were the bad boys with bluesy rock n roll.

Good points. Plus, No one else has ever had such an evolution of their sound over a relatively short career as a band. From 1963-1970 they evolved from an early rock'n'roll/pop sound to more introspective pop rock to psychedelic rock to more eclectic stuff. And along the way with George Martin their music set the bar for studio production.
