                      The Beatles by a long way.Some Stones songs are okay, but most of them sound out of tune.

                          You read my mind Leanne B (below) - incredibly that's exactly what I was going to say but you've "pipped me at the post"!...however I'll add that IF the Beatles Had Not disbanded I feel they'd probably have the Stones for Breakfast everyday!

                            Absolutely without a doubt The Rolling Stones they are still together there’s been no Beatles since 1970. And yes Beatles and Lennon McCartney are prolific songwriters but The Stones have the most catchiest songs in their repetouir then any other sing writers and songs in history. Sorry there is no comparison when it comes to actuall rock and roll prolificness and super stardom.

                                        I don't like all of their songs personally. Its taken me years to like their music in the first place

                                              The Beatles had more hits first up in their careers, but some of the Rolling Stones songs were very meaninful, just like John lennons Imagine they were classics.

                                                  Always the Stones. Real rock and roll with a lot of blues mixed in. No the pop music sound of the Beatles

                                                    The Beatles but once or after they recorded Norwegian Wood that was their downfall. The stones I am not too keen on them

I think some of their songs are classics and still sung my many now 50 plus years on. Of course we know the Stones songs in general but I don't think theirs have that many covers.

Many many thanks to Keith and Mick and Ronnie and Charlie! By the way, which group has 50% of it's members "knighted" and 50% left handed? The Beatles - Ringo and Paul both knighted and both left handed. Why their harmony was so good was that Paul and John could sing from the same mike! How many beatles appear on the cover of Abbey Road - 5!!!

I saw the Beatles when they came to Melbourne and their show was pretty bad to be honest. Later in life I did see Mick Jagger and he did put on a good show. However, as far as music goes I think both have some good music and some not so good music. It is a tough call but I think the Beatles music has lasted and they were only together a few years whereas the Rolling Stones have been together for decades but not so much of their music is still played. I guess it is a matter to choice as to what music/band you prefer but I think after all is said and done I would have to say the Beatles.
