Sure they did. The Beatles were a rock and roll band in the early days before "Beatlemania". They continued to have rock and roll songs in their catalogue for their entire existence but they also moved onto different things at the same time.Quote

They just don't have that swing and a certain earthy rock and roll feel.

At the end of the day the Stones could play and do justice to many (if not all) Beatles songs if they wanted and the Beatles
could do very little justice to very few of the Stones songs.
Have enjoyed the few I've seen them do Beatles tunes live, "I Wanna Be your Man" "Come Together" etc., they've been great. Stones could pull of any of them imo where the Beatles could handle very few Stones songs in a serious way. Macca pretty much admitted as much at Desert Trip when the Stones did "Come Together" as a tribute to him, and in return he thanked them and then offered up "I Wanna Be Your Man (a Lennon McCartney song) as tribute.
That said, Love 'em both

Let's be fair, Stones friends. I honestly think that Paul (Okay, he alone is not the Beatles) did a very good Stones-like interpretation of She Said Yeah.

The Stones could have done a great version of Yer Blues (Keith already had the bass part down), and while keeping in the same time frame , the Beatles could have done a great version of Dear Doctor with Ringo on vocals.
If that doesn't work for some of you , imagine the Beatles doing Parachute Woman with John on vocals...it might sound a bit similar to this Revolution..I can hear it now..."Parachute Woman..." with some blazing guitars!

He he, and I guess this is not the place to mention that it was Paul who suggested that The Stones should cover it in the first place, back in '65
