Then they started trying new things and became a influence on everything from prog to pop to alternative rock to metal.

I think the Stones were more in tune with how rock bands are now.You just have to look at their image & attitude

Only depending on how you define "rock band", if you mean only the glam, hard rock and punk bands then yeah...I think you are just including the kind of rock you like, and not everything else.

They make better music than The Beatles because they dress better?...Is it just me or do you really let a bands pysical appearence have way too much influence on your opinion about them?

& write songs about the seedier side of life with dirty great blues riffs.

Thats certainly never been done before, how innovative.

You can see their influence the whole way through rock music not just musically but the attitude & the imagery.

But if you take away the imagry and fashion sense, The Beatles still had more
musical influence overall...They opened the gates for many genres of music to come, after the mid 60s they began to try a handfull of different things, and didnt give a **** about the consequence's of the risks they took, they just took them...Not to mention they were the first rock band who learned how to use the recording studio to its full potential...The music industry would be a hell of a lot different without The Beatles than The Stones, both are great bands, but The Beatles are greater in my opinion.
Whoever's better is completely up to you.
