The Stones for me..........The Beatles, esp McCartney get right on my nerves and are very much over exposed thanx to most modern bands thinking they ARE The Beatles....I can`t deny the influence they have had and some of the tunes are classics but as it personal choice....THE STONES for me

i do like the beatles' music but now keen on the actual band.we studied the beatles in college (specifically their harmonys)

I am grateful to the stones for influencing my favourite band

The Beatles' harmonies were awful compared to one of my favourite bands - the Eagles

& Poco.

the beatles harmonies were easy to do............ in harmony and counterpoint we were given pieces of music with the harmonies taken out and we were told to harmonise in the style of beethoven,bach, the beatles lol etc........

Got no respect for them as people though - complete sell outs after the Bittersweet Symphony incident.

Wasn't anything to do with the band. ABKCO and Andrew Loog Oldham were doing the suing - ABKCO because they own the publishing rights (and not the Stones) Oldham was suing because it's his Orchestra that's playing on the Verve's classic song.

Oh give me The Rolling Stones everytime,,,even the slow songs like Lady Jane were great..but the fast ones were brilliant

While my guitar gently weeps.
Something
Here comes the sun
Taxman
Not bad for the third best song writer in a band

Beatles for me.....liked the Kinks too......Eagles were another of my favourites......Everley Bros......they were all melodic music makes.
I didn't like the Stones......and Elvis really gave me the pips(and still does)!

At last somebody else who doesn't like Elvis, never did out for me, as for the groups, I liked both the Beatles and the Stones, together with lots of others from around tha time Hollies, Searchers, Mersey Beats, Cream, The Move, Small Faces, could go on forever

I think most people here know I like Elvis.

I like the Beatles too, love the Beachboys and the Four Seasons; lots of 50s and 60s music I enjoy but I have very wide-ranging tastes in music, particularly from the 20s, 30s and 40s. I'm a Big Band fanatic, especially Glenn Miller but, anyone ever listened to Jimmie Rodgers (the original - the "Singing Brakeman" - died of TB in 1933)? What about Big Bill Broonzy? Sticking my neck out, here, with a clip of Big Bill - this is real guitar blues.

Sorry, I'm hijacking the thread. Of the 2, I much prefer the Beatles.

the stones everytime their first album took music to a new level.the stones have influenced most musicians in britain from primal scream to david gray and im still finding gems off their albums now....ive just found a cover they did of just my imagination by the temptations it takes the song to a new level..
