It's an endless argument that has been going on for 50 years and may never be settled.

It's a pointless, childish and non-existing argument. Apples, oranges, tomato, tomahto.

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. ..

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.

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.
