Personally, I find this funny because there is no question, nor has there ever been for me, that the Beatles are far better than the stones.

The Stones had a run of some absolutely great albums ( Beggar's Banquet, Sticky Fingers, Get Your Ya-Ya's Out, Exile on Main Street), but their catalog is riddled with less than stellar releases as well. In context with the era, The Beatles were uniformly brilliant. You have to feel a little sad for the Stones, though. Throughout the 60s they were always in The Beatles' shadow. Then The Beatles quit, and what happens? Along comes Led Zeppelin.

I think the Stones might have benefitted more if they'd quit in their prime instead of becoming a sad reflection of their former selves. They were a great band in their day, but now the name conjures up images of the cryptkeeper-like faces of Mick and Keef as they sleepwalk their way through another sloppy set of classic tunes accompanied by an every growing army of sidemen.

By very very very very far The Beatles. I don't like so much The Stones. It's like comparing Genesis (Peter Gabriel days) to ABBA

Wow, no love for the Stones? Okay, the Beatles wrote the songbook. But who can listen to it fresh? Even as a pre-pubescent child, it already sounded worn. Yeah, I went through a Beatles phase at 13; it was over at about 14 or 15. It's great stuff, there's no denyin' it.
But The Stones, though. Wow. BEGGAR'S BANQUET, LET IT BLEED, STICKY FINGERS, EXILE ON MAIN STREET. Even at their lowest, they were still writing songs like "Fool to Cry" and "Angie." And just when you think they were over, out comes TATTOO YOU, SOME GIRLS and EMOTIONAL RESCUE. (Admittedly, I stopped after those.) Listening to BEGGAR'S BANQUET is like listening to Robert Johnson or something. It's more than music, it's an attitude.
There have been tons of Beatles imitators that followed in their wakes. I could play you at least 20 songs where your first reaction might be, "Is that McCartney singing?" But who else sounds like the Stones? The New York Dolls, maybe...
The Beatles, in retrospect, were white bread. The Stones, though, were rock, blues, glam, punk, funk - a black band in Edgar suits (MiB, lol).

Eh, practically every 'gritty' hard rock band, be they authentic or wannabe, is heavily influenced by Rolling Stones. Starting with Aerosmith. Yes, they may be a pale version of the Stones but so are most if not all Beatles imitators.
