10 Reasons Why The Rolling Stones Were Better Than The Beatles (blues, country)

Keith Richards is funny as f*ck in interviews, total legend.

The Beatles probably never recorded a song better than Paint It Black but eh, gimme both.

Keith Richards actually said "The Rolling Stones destroy people at an alarming rate. Something about us makes them come face-to-face with themselves, sometimes for the better, sometimes in the worst possible way."

Which eliminates him from being "cool".

Beatles fans getting their knickers in a twist over the fact someone doesn`t think they`re the greatest band ever perhaps?

i dont think they are the greatest band ever though. based on chart success i do- which isnt tooooo important. but personally i think zeppelin and pink floyd were better. just prefer the beatles to the stones- that is all.

It's not that--I do prefer the Stones--so much as it is the threadstarter choosing the dumbest reasons possible.

I was being irreverent, I didn`t ask for people to take it so seriously

Well you obviously knew you were going to tread on peoples feet.

The Rolling Stones are matierialistic overbloated wrinkly rock grampas who refuse to let go of their fleeting fame.

I personally believe that the Stones initiated the whole school of insincere rock music. They're music is totally playing on peoples emotions and on trendyness at the time.

The Beatles on the other hand CREATED the trend instead of following it.

Whatever it's all a matter of opinion and I have just as much of a right to state mine as You do yours so don't tell me that im "overreacting" or taking it too seriously. Thats a pathetic defense to a sensible offense.

You`ll notice I named this thread 10 Reasons Why The Rolling Stones WERE Better Than The Beatles , as opposed to 10 Reasons Why The Rolling Stones ARE Better Than The Beatles.
