I love both groups, but I'm not sure if I agree with this.

I will say this, everyone talks about how big Beatlemania was (it was), but in 1965-1966 the Stones were absolutely also on fire. They had hit after hit after hit.

BTW, the new Black and Blue box set is killer.

Let me list some ways in which this is preposterously wrong:

a)The quality of the median song. The Beatles have ~185 originals. At least 100 of those (if not 150) are good enough to have been the envy of not just one hit wonders, but even decent bands that are well thought of. A litany of all-time, anthemic classics that somewhat define the Western canon. The Stones have - clustered at the top - an impressive array of all-timers. But there is so much middling dreck littered throughout.

b)Songwriting and the drive to write songs. I'm sure you're aware of the fact that The Beatles wrote and gave to the Stones their first big hit (I Wanna Be Your Man). Not only did they need to be spoonfed a new tune, but they didn't even realize it was POSSIBLE to write their own songs.

Sure, that was a fire time for the Stones. But they weren't even in the same universe as Beatlemania.

And on top of that, they looked to glom onto Beatlemania whenever they could (e.g. All You Need Is Love).

Which songs outside of Helter Skelter are you claiming were "rock attempts"?
