Beatles vs. Stones


Which do you prefer?

I'd have to go with the Rolling Stones although I do love Revolver.

And you?

Two observations:  (1) the Beatles wrote the Stones' first big hit, I Wanna Be Your Man; (2) Mick Jagger was a complete phony.  He was raised in London,, attended the London School of Economics, and both of his parents were teachers.  He totally faked a Scouse accent.  There is no comparison:  the Beatles wrote better songs, sang better, played their instruments better, and sold more records: 

Beatles: 183 mil  McCartney solo: 45 mil. Lennon solo: 29 mil.  Harrison solo: 10 mil. 

Total Beatles plus solo: 263 mil. 

Stones:  240 mil.
