Weird, I'm the opposite.

And you have more than 40 posts...

[Macfie]

There comes a time when it is best to quit playing while people remember your accomplishments and respect your talent.  The stones missed that by about 40 years.

No. She doesn't. Think about that. It is absolutely true.


On topic: I tried listening to the Beatles once. Gave up after a few minutes.
Now, the Stones, they are a bit more listenable, but not by much.

Machinae Supremacy is better than both of them combined, IMNSO.

Wasn't their last tour sponsored by some insurance company or a brand of toothpaste or something?

I refuse to vote in a poll with no snuffleupagus option.

[Rodo]

Beatles suck BAD, really bad..

Stones suck also, not as bad as the Beatles but.. well they suck as well.

I could have gone with the "they both suck" option, but Snuffleupagus was just too tempting.

[Ford Prefect]

Jefferson Airplane.

[Colonol Dekker]

I think we just bore witness to puberty kicking in. . . . .
 
I like both bands but i'm not an indecisive prick.
'I am the Eggman' is genius, as is 'Let it be'.
 
The Approve the stones also due to exquisite lead guitar work.
 
I'm not voting though. . .

[TESLA]

options are biased anyhow.


Id go for neither 

Bit of Thin Lizzy instead 

[NGTM-1R]

Snuffleupagus by a landslide.

SON... I AM DISAPPOINT

Wow... OK, you "They both suck" guys do know that both bands are broadly recognized for their immense contributions to rock and roll and bouts of sheer musical genius right? You may not like them but it's simply not true that they both suck.

[EDIT]And yes, I know that this is exactly the reaction you want - "OH MY GODZ! HE CLAIMED THE BEATLES AND STONES SUCK THEN NAMED SOME SLIGHTLY MORE OBSCURE BAND AS BETTER! WHAT A UNIQUE AND DANGEROUS REBEL HE MUST BE!". Of course, nobody actually thinks that, but it's important you realize that we know your game, and that it's been played for decades before this (It broke up the first iteration of the Sex Pistols after all).


As for me, I like them both, but I like the Beatles quite a bit more. Sympathy for the Devil and You Can't Always Get What You Want are awesome, but they pale in comparison to stuff like A Day in the Life, Hey Bulldog and Strawberry fields (plus dozens of other I could list). Oh, and if we're talking 60s rock, The Who, IMO, sits above the Stones.

Lol. I knew the admins would break in and add those last 2 options.

I didn't actually vote in the poll, but I think "they suck" is being treated as a colloquial expression of distaste. Generally, when I or someone else says, "that band sucks," I assume "in my opinion" to be implicit. I would never deny the Stones' influence on rock music, but that doesn't stop me from saying "this **** sucks" when I hear them.

As for The Beatles, I actually like them during their psychedelic phase, but I have to admit I find their early stuff intolerable.

So, I stand by my protest vote. Jefferson Airplane.

[StarSlayer]

Led Zeppelin 

[Nuke]

the doors ftw!

[Bobboau]

tough choice, but I'm gona go with the stones.
