   I'll give my vote to the Stones.  I enjoy more of their output than Beatles'.  I'll admit though, that the Beatles were mainly just the 4 of them, Stones best material (67-76 - IMHO) relied on lots of outside help.  I still have more Stones LP's than Beatles, and listen to Jagger & his mates, more than Macca and his mates.

	Stones. Plenty of good songs the best were usually the singles. Bit more simple than the Beatles but highly effective. Both are actually quite good C and W bands (first Ringo's lot pre -Rubber Soul, then Keith's outfit around Beggar's Banquet. Still don't see the relationship between Pepper and Satanic Majesties. A Day In The Life is the best number off both though. Courageous effort though from The Stones and a very accomplished one with a little help from their friend George Martin. Probably prefer Pepper overall but like The Beatles the best efforts were the contemporary but non LP singles (We Love You and Strawberry Fields). Still around Abbey Road time there was Let It Bleed and both are fine albums. Shame The Beatles couldn't have continued performing - the concert stage return was the stimulus The Stones needed along with a bunch of top albums. Still some of the the solo Beatles records (Imagine, All Things and Band On The Run) give the Strolling Bones a run for their money. But The Stones played, wrote songs, recorded and kept going in a musical world (rock and pop) that does not require progression (change). That game was all over around 1973 - '74 really.

	The Beatles, easily; everything they did was gold. The Rolling Stones are beyond overrated; a decent band at their best.

	Bands listed and not listed in the PA database but often regarded, cross-referenced and linked together. Which one do you prefer?
