The Beatles and the Stones paths crossed several times throughout their history and they were "close" rivals both from perspective knowing each other and creative output.

they - Rolling Stones them - Beatles

At the time The Rolling Stones were considered a main rival as they were promoted as that. They represented the rock alternative, and The Beatles the main pop group. Over time though perspective changes and people can get a wider view of the music. The Kinks in the late 60s were very underrated, they still are. The Beach Boys had some acclaim back then, but they have more now. Others like The Rolling Stones, Dylan and Elvis probably had more acclaim back then than they do now. With the perspective of time we can have a fuller view of music from a period.
