Jagger of course.
The Beatles is not in the same category of greatness as The Stones is. No other band is.
It annoys me that people even compare them.
Jagger could probably sing The Beatles songs really good, while Lennon singing Stones songs would have been awful.
My guess is that your about 13 years old....Correct
I can tell by your grammer...
The Beatles is not in the same category of greatness as The Stones is
Without the Beatles the Stones would just be retiring from their 9-5's.
And the Stones would be the first to admit it.
Oh please, sorry that I'm not from an English speaking country...
Yes I can tell by your musical knowledge...Very Well !!!
Why is musical knowledge equal to thinking The Beatles is a good band?
I've simply never felt anything other than boredom when hearing their songs.

The thing about Lennon is, if he hadn't died prematurely, everyone would think he was horrible. He was on an extreme downward projectery at the time of his death. His last album was hideous.

The best of Lennon and Jagger are both suberb and beyond comparison. But on the other end, some of Jagger's stuff is pretty bad, but he's had a much longer career to find the questionable vocals and John can't dance and sing at the same time so comparisons are still rather meaningless.
I just wish John were still around to make some modern day comparisons.
peace
Skip the modern day 62-70

Love both, but for me there's no contest. While Lennon was singing Twist and Shout (great song) Jagger was belting Confessin' the Blues. If I have to pick one, I'll take Mick thanks.

The best songs from both of them during that era, especially near the end of the 60's were both great and beyond comparison. But if I look at the early and mid-60's I tend to lean towards Lennon as the better of the two. But I tend to look at songs as composites of all the instruments, vocals and arrangements and have a tough time separating the vocals and judging them, unless they are really stand out as good or bad. Some imperfect vocals are still great because they fit the song for other reasons like emotional content, poetic value and rhythmic or melodic service to the song. Also Lennon was often playing guitar as he was singing, often writing and performing both parts, something that we didn't see often from Jagger during that period.
In terms of pure tone and feel for rock and roll I think vocalists like (early) Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Steve Marriott and Paul Rogers are hard to beat and are better than either Jagger or Lennon as stand alone rock vocalists.

I love them both. But Lennon. His voice was masterful. So full of force and edge, and when needed tender. Also a very versatile vocalist. Jagger is great for The Stones and for some of his solo stuff. But he also often relies on very dramatic vocalizing almost boarding on satire. And Jagger just does not have the vocal range Lennon did.

Not to my ears, those guys are the creme de la creme of rock vocalists, imo.

Here are some ideas to help you sleep tonight:
First level of consciousness:
- Both were great.
2nd level of consciousness:
- Both were crap, Elvis was way better.
3rd level of consciousness
- Billy Idol has the best rock 'n' roll voice, actually
4th level of consciousness:
- Rock'n'roll is crap, you'd better listen to Kanye
Wow your kool, you go thru different levels of consciousness:
But you grade a zero on accurate insight ????
I haven't slept properly since 78" right after they toured behind Some Girls....
Back when they toured behind albums that weren't 44 years old...

silly question Naturalist. Someone commenting like that will never be swayed by any argument or debate on a blog.
Lennon's voice was rock n' roll. So many examples. And he could belt out so passionately. Strange thing is that he was very self conscious about his voice. But man he had the goods.
I think his voice was not even comparable to Bryan Adams! I really don't like his music or voice, as I find it very generic.
Stewart had a brilliant voice.
Paul Rogers is ok, but very monotone.
Kanye...well to me he's a wannabe. Hack. Commercial package you just add water to for instant noodles. And he sure ain't anything to do with rock n' roll.

Romancandle, just curious, why are you even posting on a site for a rock band when you clearly like rap and not rock? Seems strange. And thank god none of the artists you mentioned ever made a rap album!

Lennon could never sing Wild Horses, or Tumbling Dice. Mick has way more soul.
Mick all the way.
