Which do you like more?

I like both, with the Beatles slightly ahead of the Rolling Stones.

Beatles, they knew when to end it and they evolved more over the lifetime of the band.
They embodied young rebellion throughout the career of the band, from their 'long haired' suited days in Britain to the point where they became hippies.
Witty bunch of brits who could sing out a tune.

This really isn't fair to the Stones. Though maybe someone who does support them will have something compelling to say on the matter....?

I hear enough of this from my parents given my Mum was a Stones fan and my Dad is a die-hard Beatles lover.

I only really know of one Stones song I like and that's Paint It Black but I love all the Beatles' stuff.

The Stones were good but nowhere near as good as The Beatles.

I personally never liked the Stones, and feel that they're vastly overrated and have been overstaying their welcome since the mid 70s.

The Beatles all the way.

I like the Stones quite a bit but I think you are just about right on about them overstaying their welcome since the Mid 70s. Actually, upon closer observation I'd say the early 70's.

They released "Hot Rocks vol 1 and 2" in 1972 and after that the only song of theirs that I like is "It's Only Rock-n-Roll" and that came out in 74. In fact, it looks like they had an awful lot of "greatest hits" records since then. Most with the same songs on them.

While I recognize the importance of the Beatles in influencing and perhaps revolutionizing music, they just don't jive with me. I'm pretty much indifferent to their music and I can't say I like any of their songs. Same things with the Stones, except I actually like a few of their songs, so based on that I take the Stones over the Beatles, but Led Zeppelin crushes them both.

What happens if I say they both suck?

Since I don't particulary like that genre (by which I mean anything resembling lyrics, and not just the ol' choir in the background stuff) of music anyway, all of it sucks. Except for the very few parts of it I do like. Of which the Stones and Beatles are not a part.

Ergo, to me, they all suck. Now where's that "None of the Above" option? :)
