The Stones pretty obviously aped the Beatles for a lot of their career…

PSYCHEDELIC ROCKERS MAAAHN!

But then funnily enough after the Beatles broke up Rolling Stones got better. Some Girls and Sticky Fingers listen pretty good. Even their later shit like from Voodoo Lounge is …ok.

The Beatles however remain the best of the three. They are not just popular because they wrote faggot doowop songs. They literally made modern music as we know it. Revolver is the start. Backwards guitar solos and Eastern / psychedelic influences. Also the first album to implement (i’m forgetting the exact term for it) basically the idea of recording the same vocal take and underlaying it over the original. A Day in the Life is responsible for 16 track recording when they realized 8 tracks weren’t enough to fill the orchestra. Magical Mystery Tour invented sampling when they recorded an orchestra, cut up the tapes, then randomly rearranged them to produce an instrumental (for which track I can’t remember.) Helter Skelter with punk influences and then Revolution 9 being a full on experimental ambient song from the biggest pop band in the world. All apart these guys were some of the biggest faggots to ever walk Earth but they changed music with their band in the not even decade run they had.

And the Beach Boys is for cock sucking gay boys

Yes. The very early Stones stuff was a little fruity for my tastes, and during that period The Beatles were obviously far superior. The post-Beatles post-Brian Jones stuff was when they hit their stride. It's similar to how Pink Floyd got way better without Syd Barrett and his acid weirdo children's songs. Mick Jagger with that Uncle Tom top hat, prancing around like he was Satan, that's when they peaked. IMO "Some Girls" was their last truly great album.

I'm a cock sucking faggot for lush harmonies & no one did it better than Brian. A lot of the stuff just before Pet Sounds is great too: Let Him Run Wild, Please Let Me Wonder, We'll Run Away, etc. I know I'm supposed to think Smile is a masterpiece but I think a lot of it is too far gone & it had the consequence of influencing pretentious hack faggots to think they're also geniuses because they added quirky grating bullshit noises to their shit music (every 00s indie band lauded by Pitchfork).

There's no God if Mike Love outlives Brian.

They're all pretty dated and the music doesn't hold up.
Nirvana makes them look like highschool stoners playing in the garage

Beatles had 6 years making albums. They are untouchable.

One day I will ask my father about the time he and his friends did the sound for the rolling stones at one of their big outdoor gigs. I remember half hearing the story as a kid before really knew much about music.

One of my aunt's went to Ringo Starrs birthday in the house John Lennon used to own for the imagine video. She was freinds with Zak Starkey who used to drink with my mum, her sister and brother in the local pub.

I have zero 1 degree of separation from the beach boys but my first real girlfriend and I enjoyed them a lot and we saw Brian Wilson. She was nuts and it's ruined beach boys for me.

Beach Boys is one of my favourite bands, got their Love You vinyl hanging on my wall. I'd probably consider myself a superfan, looking at my phone I've got over 500 of their songs on there. A lot of bootleg live recordings and unreleased albums. Speaking of, Adult/Child and Merry Christmas from the Beach Boys are two of their best albums and they were never officially released.




Still love Beatles and Stones though.

Allow me to be the elitist cunt for a moment...

The Beatles were the overall most talented (especially George, fight me on that, Pillocks), and had the deeper songwriting. They hold up because they broke up at the right time, and in the first decade all had good solo albums. Later on is a different story, but everything fades.

Brian Wilson, not the Beach Boys themselves, was the most creative and risk taking. I still don't think he entirely gets the credit he deserves, but I guess that happens when you go batshit for a time.

I'm biased towards the Stones and I admit this. That's not to say they're the most talented, but they are talented. It's not to say they have the greatest albums, but to me they're the most consistent. And I love, LOVE Exile on Main Street, especially "Happy". They're all absolute characters, and seem like relatively down to earth fellas.

I'm certain Keith is an immortal Eldritch God, hence surviving all the drugs, so you know - respect there.

Its a tough one

Gotta say The Beatles, the fact that they revolutionized recording techniques, pretty much changed their image/style without coming off like total douches. Great songs as well, once they got out of the Boy Band phase.

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs;



They were a tight band;





But, the Stones were straight rock and roll. I wouldn't put them neck to neck, with all due respect The Beatles were/are the better band. Exile on Main Street, Some Girls, Sticky Fingers are all great albums. But I does fall into a genre of Blues Rock. Which is great, but not in the same ballpark as them.

On Her Majestys Satanic Request was terrible, Tattoo You as well.

I don't know what my point is. Oh yea, my parents wanted to see The Beach Boys when they played a free concert in Atlantic City. Way back in the day, Playboy Hotel and Casino was still around.

It was a shit concert, and I don't like them.

Beatles, period the end.

Stones are a good greatest hits kinda band but nothing in their catalog screams essential to me.

Beach Boys stink but I do recognize that Brian is a melodic genius but doesn’t mean I have to listen to that shit.

Can't You Hear Me Knockin' is one of my favorite blues rock songs to listen to. That's where the group excelled.

Not saying Beatles couldn't do it, but they ran the gamut, Jacks of All Trades and even Masters of Some.

What's your thoughts on Let It Be... Naked? I prefer that album over the Spector-produced one, but I get such blasphemy accusations over it. (Looking at you, Kool)

Let it Be Naked gets some grief over the fact that vocal takes were flown in to make one polished master vs keeping things “as nature intended”. And audio snobs hate it over its use of “noise reduction”.

I like all the takes on LIBN over the original album except for the title song. The guitar solo George added to the original is definitive and missed on all other versions.
