I agree that the beatles were more influential than the stones, but how does that make them a better band? For that matter, how do record sales make them a better band either? The beatles were a pop band, so it stands to reason that they'd be pretty damn popular. The stones, while hugely popular, were always a rock band. taking it a step further, you could argue that because Britney spears has sold more records than the stones, she's a better artist than the stones.
