11. The Beatles bought from George Jung. The Stones bought from Frank Lucas and Jung-post-incarcaration-era.

Well, Frank Zappa said in an interview that he liked The Rolling Stones more than The Beatles, so I guess they are better.

I took this entire thing as a joke, especially when the two bands were compared in the 70s. The Beatles broke up by 69, so it doesn't make sense to compare their side projects to the Stones.

I haven't listened to anything significant by the Stones, so I don't have an educated opinion.

Forgive me for not reading all 23 thread pages here -

My first thought reading the title is The Rolling Stones would win in a fair fight.

There`s always been more of them and they have an extra advantage now only two Beatles remain!

4. Songs about sex , drugs , deprevation , heartache , rejection , revenge & decadence are better than kiddie love songs & mystical bollocks.
Beatles - Wrote chart friendly pop songs & ballads. Stones wrote gritty hard rock songs

5. The Beatles had to have their faces on album covers , The Stones could stick a picture of a toilet on theirs & still have it sell millions.

6. Stones - The 70s , Exile On Main Street, Sticky Fingers, It`s Only Rock n Roll
Beatles - The 70s , Wings , Yoko Ono`s songwriting & Ringo Starr solo albums *shudder*

7. The Beatles stopped touring because they couldn`t hack it , Keith Richards played an entire gig at gunpoint.

8. Charlie Watts would never lower himself to doing Thomas The Tank Engine voiceovers.

9. Paul McCartney - The Frog Chorus , Mick Jagger - She`s The Boss.
Both bad yes but if forced at gunpoint I know what i`m going to choose.

10 Apperence , looking like you just got dragged from the street > Matching suits. How many bands these days look like this...

And how many bands these days look like this ....

No contest

**** off. Ok to start the beatles made the 3 guys type rock band so if there was no beatles there would be no stones. And mick jagger has no class at all he stole his close friends girl friend and then dumped her 2 weeks later. What the rolling stones made gritty hard rock songs WHAT come on gimme shelter for one.

Assuming you meant what you meant when i inserted commas where I thought they went I have several questions...

1. **** Off. Really? You're mad? Explain.

2. How did the Beatles make the three guys type rock band? There were 4, or depending on who you ask 5, guys in the group.

There were definitly 5 in the stones. Where is the 3 coming from?

3. Who's girlfriend did he steal? You don't actually say. Did you mean Clapton (not a stone) stole Harrisons (Beatle) wife (not girlfriend)? Talk about no class.

4. Be honest. Is gimme shelter the only track you know?

What I mean by 3 guy type band is not elvis a bass

,guitar

,and drums

,maybe key bord.

And you have a point about clapton but the point is thea he dumped her 2 weeks later and that he had bin with her for a week and he told him not to do it and it was claptons girl in 1989 and no i am not a todal fan boy i just read his book.

Quote:

Clapton made a drunken declaration of support for former Conservative minister Enoch Powell (famous for his anti-immigration Rivers of Blood speech) at a concert in Birmingham.Clapton had said that England had "become overcrowded," and implored the crowd to vote for Powell to stop Britain from becoming "a black colony." Clapton went on to voice his opinion to the audience that Britain should "get the foreigners out, get the wogs out, get the coons out" and then repeatedly shouted the National Front slogan "Keep Britain White".Huddle, Saunders and two members of Kartoon Klowns responded by writing a letter to NME expressing their opposition to Clapton's comments, which they claimed were "... all the more disgusting because he had his first hit with a cover of reggae star Bob Marley's 'I Shot the Sheriff'". The letter continued: "Come on Eric... Own up. Half your music is black. Who shot the Sheriff, Eric? It sure as hell wasn't you!".

Put's sleeping with someone's girlfriend into perspective don't you think
