This is one of those questions that define individual personalities, like mods vs. rockers or cat people vs. dog people......it should be one of the first questions people ask each other upon first meeting, sort of a test for compatability.
 
For me, it's the Beatles from 65-68 and the Stones from 68-73.....how's that for a wishy-washy fence straddling!
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I'm surprised that the Stones are doing so poorly.

Probably the best response to date. I think the Stones were the better rock'n'roll band but the Beatles were the better song writers and probably more experimental and innovative. Loved 'em both for different reasons.

(I voted for the Beatles if only for them splitting at the right timeWink)

I like my new avatar, I mean that LOTR isn´t crap, but classic. But it´s about point of view, I don´t like comics at all, but my children do.

Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster. What's more classic and iconic than that?

And Green Lantern drawn by Alex Ross is pure class!
I don´t like monsters. Never mind, I think that´s useless debate...

Balrog fear?

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.

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

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