While I like the Stones, I think The Beatles will always be the better group. The Stones to me were always more image over art, while The Beatles were really into all aspects.

"Under My Thumb" is one of my favorite songs, but when looking at The Stones as a whole, I think they have more failure than success to their name.

I appreciate both bands in their own right, but to say they were better than The Beatles is a bold statement.

But different strokes I suppose.
