Once again, why? What makes them mediocre?

I don't know...they just don't do it for me. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer.

They don't evoke any feeling in me. But since I know they do for other people, I should probably apologize for my earlier comment. SORRY!

Now that I think about it, I guess I would have to go with the Stones if I were forced to choose between the two bands. There are a few of their songs that can get me going, if I'm in the right mood. But the Beatles also have some catchy tunes that are easy to sing along too. GGAAWWW...I just don't know.

It's fine. Free to post your opinion. Even if it's wrong

My immediate response to the thread title was "No!"; I would say that Beatles songs are better constructed, more diverse, and deeper than Rolling Stones songs for the most-part. I know Beatles started with all the pop-y bubblegum stuff, but they eventually became so much more. (This thread's origin date is way old.)

I could name an overwhelming amount of bands that I think are more talented than The Rolling Stones, some of whom are bands I don't even like.

If I had to name one band I think to be the most overrated band of all time, it would most certainly be The Rolling Stones.

Man, this thread is impossible to solve in one persons favor.
<3> Reasons the Beatles are better than the Stones:

1. Their songs were more meaningful than just blatant bantering about sex and drugs.

2. They went in more of a direction than just pop music, unlike how the Rolling Stones were 90% R&B.

3. The Beatles made trends instead of followed them.

<3> Reasons the Stones were better than the Beatles:

1. They were more gritty than the Beatles were when the Beatles were around.

2. The Keith Richars riffs were epic in comparison to the riffs that the Beatles did.

3. The Rolling Stones had a more badass image.

THERE. Guess who I like more.

Only 2 of those reasons are valid.

Don't list what two are valid or explain your opinion ProggyMan, that's just stupid!
