I'd say this quote from Greg Kot/BBC Culture sums it up nicely:
"Were the Stones as revolutionary as the Beatles? No, but their reign of good-to-great albums was nearly twice as long, and their best music from this era – 1963 through 1981 – has a consistency, durability and variety that few bands from any era could match. Not even The Beatles, it turns out."
Were the Stones underrated?

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?
Having the typically stupid / goofy smile - doesn't take more.

It's time to stop this now. So...
5 Stones - Mick,Keith,Brian,Charlie,Bill
4 Beatles - John,Paul,George,Ringo.
Let's add George Martin as he's probably got more right to be called the 5th Beatle than most other contenders.
It's a fist fight (no knives Keith ! )
Who wins ?

We know you hate the Beatles since you were mickscarey (or whatever it was) and posted it about a million times. You have not added anything useful to the discussion then, or now.

If adding only new things useful to the discussion becomes a requirement on IORR it may severely limit what gets posted here, since so many conversations (esp about the Beatles/Stone threads) are basically people repeating what has been said many many many times.

I never said I HATE them. I said they were overrated (grossly) and they are good for elevator or department store background music. Safe, puffery, that's all.

Well, I don't think you're wrong...How many "Beatles vs. Stones" threads do we need?

Same thing. You've said it a million times, under two different names, and have added nothing to the discussion except your boring opinion, unsupported by anything beyond that.

Wish they played Tomorrow Never Knows in my local elevator. They do play Wild Horses there after all.Quote

Hendrix vs Clapton is a no contest. Eric's just not up to it. Peter Green whipped his ass too. He's completely replaceable - witness the Yardbirds and the Bluesbreakers. The rest are pretty much down to personal preference.Quote

Beatles vs Stones
Hendrix vs Clapton
Zeppelin vs Who
Animals vs Them
Waters vs Wolf
Soundgarden Vs Pearl Jam
Kansas vs Styx
Frazier vs Ali
...so many choices!!!!!!
we should just have a generic VS thread
