and despite that have outsold the stones (and every other rock and roll band) over the past 20 years.
Bestselling recording artists, 1991-2011
1. Garth Brooks (68,561,000)
2. The Beatles (63,299,000
3. Mariah Carey (53,612,000)
4. Metallica (53,170,000)
5. Celine Dion (51,492,000)
6. George Strait (43,310,000)
7. Eminem (41,166,000)
8. Tim McGraw (40,169,000)
9. Alan Jackson (38,860,000)
10. Pink Floyd (37,228,000)
Unfortunately, those stats don't really help the argument do they? If number of albums shifted is the measure of musical/cultural importance are you saying Garth Brooks is a more significant artist than the Beatles? Acts 1 - 9 (2 of whom I actually had to google to find out who they are, are 'better' than Pink Floyd. The Stones don't even compete as recording artists and haven't really tried to for decades - they are pre-eminent live, performing artists. You pays your money and takes your choice.
It's a pointless, childish and non-existing argument. Apples, oranges, tomato, tomahto.
A voice of reason in the wilderness.
Those are US figures.
US is not the world.
George Strait sold +/- 40 albums outside the US.
To me!
Only for people with a mental age of about 12 who still think its 1964.
Meanwhile, the rest of the planet have managed to get a life.
And WhackODong is about 12 years old in his little short bus head. It will never be settled because there's nothing to settle. It's music. It's art. What it isn't is who's won x-amount of championships, MVPs and scoring titles and set records for blah blah blah to be settled on as being The Best Ever. That kind of stuff belongs in sports only, not art.
Regardless of how corporate The Rolling Stones have made the art of playing live and selling whatever.
of course i'm not saying any of those things.
i was pointing out to a poster who said "The Beatles have been over for over 40 years......perspective." that the Beatles still remained extremely popular despite not recording for 44 years.
Talk about your favorite band.

Jeez. I would like to see the chart that saw them soaring past The Beatles. You're sir, are an idiot. If all Beatles members had been alive, who do you think the Glasto crowd would've wanted tonight? Take a wild @#$%& guess.

Don't forget that Macca played Glastonbury as well in 2004, so it's still a dead heat between The Beatles and The Stones.... or maybe The Beatles are still ahead as Macca played it first, making Mick and the boys followers in the tracks of The Beatles once again....

Jumpingjacklantern (or whatever he's calling himself these days) is like a house-guest that takes forever to leave. Keeps saying "goodbye!", standing at the open door, cold air coming in, "Yes, well better go then! Yes, well...Bye!" Then stands there some more...Good grief...

Jagger was astounding last night, wonderful performance. The guitars were mixed very low, sometimes inaudible; 'Tumbling Dice' a good example. Could barely hear Keith, Ronnie was slightly louder and more prominent. Keith's solos were good though.
Overall they put on a fine show! Loved 2000 Light Years

Who's better, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? It's an endless argument that has been going on for 50 years and may never be settled. What the Glastonbury performance has settled is this:
MICK JAGGER IS THE #1 ROCK STAR IN HISTORY!
Hendrix & Morrison were gone at 27. Lennon ceased being relevant by 30. Elvis left the building at 42. Jimmy Page has been on artistic hiatus for 15 years.
However, the performance Mick Jagger gave at Glastonbury - at the age of 69 - was nothing less than superhuman. If you closed your eyes you'd have thought it was still 1973.
...The Rolling Stones Rocked...

What was it Gazza said a long time ago about this Stones vs Beatles nonsense? I kind of forget now exactly what he said, but he was correct.
