This is a tough one. But I have to go with the Beatles.
 
This is a tough one, but I'm gonna have to go with the Stones only because I've seen them live and they were awesome and the Beatles were a little (but not too much) before my time.

I used to loathe the stones, but the more I listen, the more I enjoy. But I think they've gotten stale, whereas the Beatles only made records for 10 or so years, and everything they made was fresh. So, it's a tie for me. The Stones have select works I enjoy more, but the Beatles I enjoy everything, only slightly less.

I'll have to say the Stones.

I grew up on them, I've seen them live, I think Mick Jagger is one sexy bitch. (I AM JOKING, only for the last part.)

Rolling Stones! I got to see them in concert twice, and they put on an awesome show, especially considering that they are gettin' farther up there in years.

This is really tough...Really, really tough !

I would have to go with The Beatles. I guess their songs have touched me more. Also I would rather meet a Beatle than a Rolling Stone. They seem friendlier !

I'm glad that they have or I would have missed out on some good shows! My parents took me to see The Stones on their last two tours (Bridges to Babylon and No Security), and those would have been the greatest concerts ever...if I hadn't seen U2 ever.

This is really, really hard, I grew up with the Beatles more so than the Stones and have probably only just in later life found myself appreciating the Stones.......I think I know more of the Beatles stuff, man this is hard, but I love the Stones, their image, Keef, Jagger, they are very cool, but then there is the Beatles,,,,,,,,,,,hhhhmmmm I DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!CANT DO IT>>>>>>>>>>>


anyway fave 'obscure' songs from each...

Beatles= Being for the benefit of Mr Kite, from Sgt Peppers

Stones= 2000 light years from home, from Their Satanic Majesties Request
 
Beatles! I mean...who can't love that plasticine porter guy?

But you could have a U2 discussion with Mick Jagger, George Harrison just thinks their pretentious crap.
 
The Beatles, in a no-brainer. THE most original and influential band of all time. I agree with Brettig that the Stones hurt their legacy by hanging around too long.

Just George Harrison, though...who knows what Ringo and Paul think. Charlie Watts, the Stones drummer, thinks rock music is rubbish anyways, so he's probably not a big U2 fan either.

I know little of the music of either of those bands, but I'll say Beatles because I generally tend to like their music better.
 
The Stones b/c they are my favorite band ever next to u2. Yes there is room at the tip of my heart for more than 1 band. I own just as much Stones records as U2 records and can sing along with every tune they've ever written from a to z. And thats not just words but also music sounds.

And George would know about pretentious crap, wouldn't he?
