The Beatles. I love The Stones but The Beatles just simply have more cohesive albums and alot more songs I like. Gimme Shelter and the album Sticky Fingers alone made this a tough choice though.

The Beatles, easily. They've got an incredible range of songs from ballads to pure rock, and did all of them quite well. Further, some of their songs are really quite complex. They did some pretty cutting-edge stuff for their time.

not many can use the line 'we all live in a yellow submarine' and make it work, let alone cool.

It's hard for me to pick my favorite Beatles song, because they did such a diverse range of music that it's hard to compare between songs. I must say, though, that Norwegian Wood has always been one of my favorites because of that instrument. I think it's a sitar, right? Or is it a harpsichord? I'm not a Beatles expert by any means, but some of the songs that I particularly like are Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Twist and Shout, Michelle, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Across the Universe (very underrated), and of course Hey Jude and Yesterday. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on in Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

No comparison. The Rolling Stones' first hit single in England was a cover version of the Beatles' "I Wanna Be Your Man". The Beatles sang of love; the Stones of lust; the Beatles followed Brian Wilson's lead in production and offered SGT Pepper; the Stones suffered casualties at Altamont. The Beatles' chords, arrangements and musical depth far exceeds the simple rock'n'roll and blues patters of the Stones. George Martin's influence catipulted the Beatles well above the Stones and Andrew Loog Oldham.
Finally, the Beatles will be remebered for love, energy, creativity and transparency; the Stones for skepticism, scoffing, anger and criticism.

I voted Beatles because of the variety and because they broke up before they became irrelevant. My favorite Beatles song is Hey Jude. My favorite Stones song is Sympathy for the Devil. Ironically, I like Sympathy for the Devil better than Hey Jude.

This thread made me realize how little I really know about Beatles music so I decided to make use of my vast, rarely used collection of bootleg MP3s and listen to a Beatles record. I picked Rubber Soul because Rain Man said Norwegian Wood was good. Now that I'm listening, I found that I like "You Wont See Me" a lot too, ooo la lala.
