@VolimBoga23 In The Studio…No One Can Hear You Scream
The Beatles may have been a fairly good live band, but they threw a strop somewhere around 1965 because the screaming was too loud and they couldn’t hear themselves properly.
The Stones would have just bought bigger amps. Let’s face it, from the footage available, it’s clear that The Beatles weren’t anywhere near in the Stones league as a live band. The Stones were, probably even still are, the greatest live act in rock n’ roll.
While The Stones are responsible for the execrable ‘Satanic Majesties Request’, there is nowhere near the level of self-indulgent rubbish as that churned out by The Beatles.
‘The White Album’, for example, is four good songs plus an hour of tiresome half-written rubbish, like ‘Why Don’t We Do It In The Road’.
Is this really the work of the best band in the world ever? Nope…it’s just rubbish from a bunch of self-indulgent millionaires.
When you’re five or six years old, ‘Yellow Submarine’, ‘When I’m Sixty Four’, ‘Here Comes The Sun’ and the like are fantastic songs. In pretty much the same way as ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ is fantastic poetry.
The fact is, though, that The Beatles novelty songs are, frankly, embarrassing. They’re generally awful music hall pastiche with – in far too many cases – the tone deaf Ringo singing.
The Stones avoided this trap and thank God for that.
Ringo Starr is an amiable, likeable scouser. Unfortunately, what he is not is a good drummer. In fact, he wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles.
I’ve heard all the revisionist nonsense about Ringo’s abilities over the last few years, but that’s all it is: nonsense.
By contrast, Charlie Watts is a fantastic drummer. His minimalist style in The Rolling Stones often hides his natural jazz style, but what he does in the Stones is always, always perfect.
Prestonpiemincher is a sad character. For years, he has been going to Beatles videos, desperately trying to make the same case over and over again, even using the same limited repertoire of weak arguments ('Listen to ‘Let It Be’ and you’ll hear the sound of a band who can’t be bothered' is one of his favorites). His Don Quichotelike crusade against the obvious facts of history (Beatles > Stones) is hopeless. Even Mick and Keef disagree with him.
@Prestonpiemincher You have to understand the White album. Not many people can. Songs like Helter Skelter or Blackbird or Yer Blues or Happines is a warm gun are awesome songs. i'm sorry you can't feel them. The Stones are great, but every person in music industry will tell you the same- Beatles were a level higher above everyone else. And i am not huge Beatle fan. I listen to Floyd, Zeppelin, Rory Gallagher, Doors, Stones, Beatles. I'm not a huge fan, but i am a person with a huge respect.
@Prestonpiemincher Beatles were not a boring band, like some other band who have same songs. Listen to Come together, Martha my dear, please please me... they don't sound the same. Their music evolved from "please please me" to "abbey road". Not many bands evolved. George Martin was a master at his work but he did not write songs . He recoreded them. So you can't say Lennon, McCartney and Harrison were not good. The white album is one of the greatest albums of all time.... to be continued
1. The Stones said Beatles were better so you lose there, and they made them to write their own music. Before Beatles Stones were playing covers, at that time Beatles had contract for a record. The song that launched the Stones into the "Olymp of music" was a song called "i wanna be your man" written by Lennon-McCartney.
2. Beatles were not a rock badn or pop, they were Beatles, they played everything (metal- Helter Skelter), pre-punk (Happines is a warm gun), rock, pop...

@VolimBoga23 They Influenced Who ?
OK, it’s undeniable that The Beatles have been a huge influence on popular music for, well, ever.
However, let’s have a quick look at the bands that followed the Beatles as part of the Merseybeat sound they popularised.
Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Searchers, Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas and The Swinging Blue Jeans. Rubbish, one and all.
Not to mention the fact that they helped kick start the musical career of Cilla Black.
