It was a tough one but on balance i had to go with the beatles. The stones were great but there post seventies output is a waste of space i mean c'mon after you write paint it black you may as well call it a day and go home.
I could just never get into the Stones. I find their music annoying, but I can understand their artistic influence. The Beatles, however, I absolutely love.
Never really got why people like either band. Not only are there many superior classic rock bands, but there are countless better (and more intelligent) acts outside of the genre as well.
To each his own, I suppose, but I get sick of people claiming that these two bands are the end all of music.

I voted for Rolling Stones, since the two (effectively) "other" options seem to make the poll rather pointless. If I could have anyone doing the soundtrack to my (purely theoretical at this point) game's trailer, I'd go with Frank Zappa.
BEATLES!
lol was expecting the stones to be more popular on this site, but glad to see the beatles doing well
i like the stones though too! some of their songs are just PURE rock!

i agree with you two on the kinks! they are an absolutly fantastic band! i started listing to more of their songs recently and its like i was rediscovering the beatles all over again lol, incredibly good stuff!
It's an unfair poll. It's like comparing apples to oranges. The Beatles are a pop music act, who incorporate some elements of rock on some of their albums. The Stones are a rock band that incorporate elements of other music genres into their mainly blues-based rock and roll.
So, the Beatles will win because they're infinitely more famous, but the Stones should win because they absolutely rock, as opposed to the Beatles who only occasionally rocked and also because they've been around for about 7 times as long as the Beatles ever were.

"Gimme sympathy, after all of this is gone; who would you rather be, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? Oh seriously, you're gonna make mistakes, you're young; come on baby, play me something like 'Here Comes The Sun'..."
Cookie for anyone who understands what the hell I'm on about. Anyway, referring to the poll, never really been a big fan of either, though the songs I have heard from them both are really good. So neither is better in my eyes, but I pick The Beatles purely because of more exposure to them than the Stones (I just can't get enough of 'Hey Jude', especially since Jude [well, Judy] is my mother's name
). Anyway, the Rolling Stones will still be going on tour when they're in their nineties ("I thought they already were in their nineties" - quiet, obscure pop-culture references, we don't want you here )...

Eh, hate both of them.
Light rock is unbearable for me... it all just comes around to generic gibberish. People always say "WHY DONT U LIKE THE STONES" or "WHY DONT U LIKE THE BEATLES" or "WHY DONT U LIKE LINKIN PARK" or "WHY DONT U LIKE GREEN DAY".
And Green Day is NOT a punk-rock band, I don't care what you think. Papa Roach is punk-rock.

You should all be ashamed, calling the Stones a more ingenuitive band. They were alright, but the Beatles were legends that shaped modern music with brilliant, simple, and (above all) catchy music. None of the members could write well on their own, but they defined a generation together.
