    My first album was the first Beatles album. My introduction to music at a young age of 7. As I grew older I never really liked the Stones and not really sure why. Once disco came out I started liking anything but THAT. Now I love all music. And my opinion of both groups is very high. What the Beatles obviously brought to the main stream the Stones kept alive and added too over the years. Both are icons in the world of music. I don't think anyone who truly loves music can choose great over great :<0)
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    I have to go with The Stones. The swaggering Mick Jagger of "Sympathy for the Devil" from Beggars Banquet in 1968 and "Jumpin Jack Flash" from the same era show The Stones at their early best.

    Each band has place of its own and sits nicely there

    In the 60's I preferred the Stones but I was 10 years old so my reasons elude me right now .
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    During the 60s, I thought that the Beetles ruled. They now sound anachronistic, like 60s automobiles while the Stones seem still relevant, transcend time like a great novel (Les Miserables)

    I agree with your analogy, Kind of like comparing an E-Type Jaguar and a Toyota Yaris

    Stones for me. Basically, as I see it, the stones (together with a few others) paved the way for much of today's (and yesterday's) rock, whereas the beatles were a foundation for the pop music culture. I've always been more into rock myself, not quite getting the whole pop and disco thingy.

    Oh, and Cream, truly a great band for it's age Hard to see any rreason to put them in the same sentence as procul harum or herman's hermits..
