The Stones had their moments but I'll beat on the Beatles.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Last year (I think) there was a talkshow on dutch TV with a discussion about which of the above mentioned band was the better:
The Beatle-fans talked about the forwardthinking inventiveness of the Beatles and The Stones-fans talked about the greasy music of the Beatles and how the Stones weren't as greasy.
Both sides were pointing at the Beatles and none of them were pointing at the Stones, which I thought was quite funny.

So for me, I'll go for the Beatles.
Follow your bliss

Going with the Stones, it has less votes, but could go either way.
Just a music fan passing through trying to fill some void. Various music I am into now: a youtube playlist

The Beatles, I mean really. But Mick and Keith really crack me up though.

There really is no contest. A band with a gift for melody and tunes that no other rock ensemble has ever had vs the band with the ever-repetitive licks... The Beatles destroy here...

Woah woah woah! That second statement is not true at all. Think of Black Sabbath. All they are is "ever-repetitive licks" and they kick ass! (also was it just a coincidence that you said "licks" while talking about RS?) And Black Sabbath can easily beat bands such as... metallica, and they had more innovation.

Some time ago I would have voted for the Stones. But I've been more into the Beatles lately, so my vote to them (although I have to say neither the Stones or the Beatles are one of my favorites)

The Liverpool lads, certainly.
The Stones have repeated themselves so often, and have been around so long, that their reputation can only erode. Shame, really, since they were masters of the British r&b revival who had their own voice to add.

Beatles vs. The Who might have been a closer match.

The Beatles will run away with this poll, but the Stones had their proggy moments.  Do that Youtube clip above.
The Beatles seem to me to be more trend setter and the Stones more trend followers.  I give them cred for making a mark in basic rock though, even if it did roll.
