Based on music only; the Beatles are 5th on my list and the Stones are 7th. On the plus side for the Stones is Sticky Fingers which is an almost perfect album.

Of course, the Beatles were far more than just a bunch of musicians.

Sticky is a fantastic LP indeed but I lean towards Beggars and Bleed as my 2 favorites.
The Beatles were obviously musicians and songwriters. In what way iyo were they 'more than just a bunch of musicians'? I watched several docs lately on the Beatles since it was a 50 year anniversary for them and even the Beatles themselves were perplexed by all the hoopla around them that made them so famous.

You are obviously well aware of the Beatle's fame and influence that extended far beyond their music.

Of course there were cultural aspects involved on several levels but I still haven't heard why you believe they themselves were 'more than just a bunch of musicians'.
As I pointed out they themsleves were at a loss to explain why they became so famous.
IMHO a lot of this was a case of them, good songwriters/pop musicians ,  being at the right place at the right time .

The Beatles. I have never lived the stones.
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.
