Stones all the way. I like the Beatles, but the Stones just kick ass. Let it Bleed FTW!

Pssssst! The poll does not agree with you. ;)

But it's ok to be a non-conformist.

How come I saw no voting option?:confused:

Clear your cookies and drink your milk. ;)

Doh! You're right. The OP has rigged the poll. I voted earlier.

The Beatles over all discography is better but being into blues and rock I tend to be more of a Stones fan.

I'd go with the Beatles too. The Stones played great music, but the Beatles invented a whole new genre....that doesn't happen often.

Weird. Earlier this morning, I churned out something of higher quality than anything the Beatles put out in 6 years as a result of having Taco Bell yesterday. I consider myself a one-man band, minus the acordiano.

The Beatles suck. Sure, they influenced some good musicians (who influenced some good musicians, and so on), but have you actually looked at many of the influences musicians list? A lot of them have horrible influences--just like the Beatles.

The Rolling Stones are much better than the Beatles. Like SpunkyJones said, Let It Bleed is the shizdiggitybowwow. No album the Beatles have put out can touch it. The only band more overrated than the Beatles is Radiohead.

All together, I like the Beatles a tad more. Stones have some of my favorite songs like Ruby Tuesday and Wild Horses.

The Beatles are absolutely amazing..

I really don't care for Paul McCartney's new stuff, though.. Ringo's stuff ain't bad, though.

Definitely Beatles. I can't *stand* Mic Jagger's voice, it drives me up a wall, and it sounds like Keith Richards has never tuned his guitar.
