    It's a close run thing with me but I'd have to go with the Beatles in the end.
    Apparently they were the Blur and Oasis/East coast,West coast of their day...

    So,'Let it Be' or 'Let it Bleed'?

    The Stones, because I love their stuff from day one, whereas I only really like The Beatles from about Rubber Soul onwards...

    But both were great.

    "a few OK songs" ..? :eek:

    The Songs are why we hold the Beatles in such high regard today. Not just Lennon & McCartney; George was a late bloomer, but the results were well worth it (Taxman, Here Comes The Sun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something). If you appreciate Songs, I don't see how the Stones can compare.

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    The Rolling Stones were popular in the same era. So by your logic, they were pop too...?

    This isn't a poll about The Beatles Vs The Stones. It's a clear representation of the wrongness of society when it comes to The Beatles and The Stones.

    Clearly the Beatles were the more (incredibly so) innovative band, whereas the appeal of the Stones is more about the spirit of the times; a certain rebelliousness, although it all seems quite innocent now.

    But the poll is soooo wrong it's obviously just a social experiment.

    Is the Mars bar story true or not though? For me that is the most pressing issue.
