War between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, who wins?

[NoPasaran]

Poll question: War between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, who wins?

[Bluzmann57]

1. No contest imo

The Glimmer Twins for the raw nasty approach to Rock 'n' Roll, the way it was meant to be.

[On the Road]

2. Rolling Stones for Best Rock & Roll Band

Beatles for best musicians. Their music goes way beyond the usual confines of rock. But I love both.

[Phillycat]

3. The Stones, of course.

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. Herman's Hermits, after a surpirse run-in

Peter Noone with a swing of the steel chair!

13. Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughterrrrrr

*sigh*

[KurtNYC]

5. When you start up the Stones, they never stop, never stop, never

stop, never stop.

6. Stones easily they have the numbers and are impervious to pain

OVER!

[Dzimbowicz]

10. And, obviously nothing can or will kill Keith Richards

Robin Williams said it best: "At the end of the world, there will only be five cockroaches and Keith Richards..."

7. DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!

I go through phases - right now it's the Stones. In a couple of months - the Beatles. I hate having to choose!!!

8. Half the beatles are dead and Keith Richard is unkillable!

[MrSlayer]

9. Stones for many reasons.

For one they have more members, numbers are always good to have in war. Secondly, you simply cannot kill Keith Richards, he's undead. Third we have The Beatles wimp factor, sure they made a lot of good songs but they made a whole lot of wimpy, drippy, pussweed songs as well. The Beatles sing about handholding love, The Stones sing about fucking. For strength of catalog you have to go Stones.

11. Beatles

love them both though. Funny, the Beatles always seemed a bit more "uppercrust" than the Stones but actually the Beatles came from poorer backgrounds than the Stones.

[Merlot]

12. The Beatles

they knew when to quit.

[edbermac]

14. Beatles of course...

The Stones just ripped off every blues riff they could find...and Jagger and Richards are the ugliest mothers around...

15. The Stones

They rock!
The Beatles are very good, too, but they are Musak more often than not. I guess that some would say this has to do with their melodic sense.
The Stones are still rockin' today.

[Kilkenny5]

16. Three-fifths of the Stones are still together

Merlot is right. The Beatles are better because the quit while they were ahead.
