Tell Me :
Talk
We fight because we care.
I think you're being silly now...both bands played incredibly successfully with all sorts of styles of music.
you mean Let's Spend the Night Together, Angie, or Mixed Emotions?
Do the stones have a song as heavy as Helter Skelter?
I mean this really isn't a pissing match, but I don't think you can slag off either band for doing different styles.
I think you might argue the Beatles did soft pop better than the Stones, Let It Be, Yesterday, Something...but that doesn't mean that's all they were about.
If you prefer to stay blind and deprive yourself of experiencing their kind of greatness, that is your choice and, of course, your privilege.
Agree, McCartney did play drums a little louder and heavier than Charlie.
You ought to read 1968 Rolling Stone interview with Clapton.
Having the typically stupid / goofy smile - doesn't take more.
About all Ditka can do anymore is growl! Mick would dance circles around him!
True, but there is an actual marketing war going on between Beatles Inc. and Stones Inc. today. It's the "silent war" that neither party will admit to.
Talk about your favorite band.

From the description of the book, doesn't seem a 'verses' type book as in comparing the quality of the bands, more about their lives.

For being a supposed boy band, The Beatles certainly didn't dance at all. nor did they refrain from playing their instruments to concentrate solely on their vocals and dance moves.
How are they a boy band again?

They are both great 
No reason for rivalry or non-sense comparisons.

I dunno, just find them soft and pop, which is why I think they are kind of blah and very overrated

Funny, for a band being "soft and pop" they certainly had a drummer that played heavier and louder than The Stones have.

the whole thing with band rivalries is pretty much fan based.
Hendrix and Clapton were dear friends and had nothing but respect for each other, but their fans would go to war with each other....except for the few like me who admired them both.

Beatles versus Stones? You've got to admit that Andrew Loog Oldham had a shrewd marketing plan.
And it worked. People are still fighting over the imaginary battle lines drawn by ALO to this day.
