please... there's no contest here.. the boring, repetitive, one-lick-only Rolling Stones vs The Beatles, whose albums are so different and varied and who have some of the great songs ever?

The Rolling Stones are way too inconsistent for me to enjoy. Their weird moments are so far apart and in little quantity compared to The Beatles.
Plus, The Beatles provide and all-around more pleasant experience. |

The Beatles only edge by a tiny bit.
Mainly because I am in love with The White Album(Clapton Is God).

Both are amazing bands , I voted for the Stones because they are terribly underrated , OK they are not prog for sure , and the Beatles are WAY proggier.However nobody did rock and roll as pure as the Stones did |

You are a clever guy, I must say (savvy and very cunning!) . The oldest form of selective argumentation is to omit certain points to the benefit of critiquing others. Lawyers use this all the time, they teach it day 1 of law school. It's like going bound and gagged to face a judge. I never said they always sucked, please remind yourself that I stated that AFTER "Let it Bleed" IMHO, they became quite soggy in terms of quality and have been profiteering ever since (AKA certain alliances with corporate powers) . I also mentioned rather clearly that Mick Taylor was the last real musician they had , when he left , it went deeper in the abyss. I don't like the Stones, I am allowed to express my thoughts. Yukorin , on the other hand , seems more weak in attacking me as opposed to my arguments. Language , you know.....You , Sir, have at least a modicum of class. But read all I said, bile and all.

Hey, Micky, you see what happens when you stir the pot ? You once said that you are the King of Smartass, do you think I earned at least some small Princedom? Even though I am considered a Gentle sort, I couldn't help myself, certainly attempting provocation but this is a Prog site after all and only a few decided to fall into my trap of insulting me, instead of my comments . One did , one didn't , sort a like yin and yang , no? This eternal quest for supreme stupidity is exactly why "the more I analyze the human race, the more I love my dog" (quote from JJ Rousseau, masterful French philosopher). He was right, it was only rock "n roll, back then.
I have a great story about Gene Simmons of Kiss back in the 80s, BTW . Let me know if you tongue is long enough

I never thought I'd find myself defending the Stones, but Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, and Sticky Fingers are all good rock albums. Not up to the Beatles' standard but in the genre pretty decent, particularly when Mick Taylor gets involved.
