Hmm...Well this seems to have stagnated. Sorry about not noticing it earlier. I suppose I'll have to dig out another battle. Expect it up within the next two days.

The Beatles. They were bigger than Jesus because they could combine pop music and rock music to create a boppity enough sound for the hipsters of the 60's, as well as a wholesome enough sound for the conservative Midwestern people of the 60's.

The Beatles had the most No. 1 albums in both the UK and US, with 15 in the UK and 20 in the US. They also had dozens of No. 1 albums in other countries, such as Germany, Finland, Australia, and Canada.

Here, look at some of the worlds records they hold:

Most Christmas No.1 Singles In UK Chart
Most Consecutive Christmas No.1 Singles - UK
Most Consecutive No.1 Singles In The UK Chart
Most No.1 Singles On US Chart
Most Platinum RIAA Certificates For A Group
Most Successful Songwriting Duo
Most US Chart No. 1 Albums By A Group
Most Albums On US Chart Simultaneously
Most Recorded Song (Yesterday)
Most Valuable Pop Memorabilia (John Lennon's 1965 Phantom V Rolls-Royce was bought for $2,229,000 by Jim Pattison, Chairman of the Expo 86 World Fair in Vancouver, Canada, at Sotheby's, New York on June 29, 1985.)

Among all of this, next time you go to the Mall, see how many Beatles shirts you can find. Look for all the merchandise that was created from it.

Even after the Beatles split up, each individual Beatles had a phenomenal musical career. Paul McCartney's Wings, John Lennon's solo career, George Harrison's huge benefit stuff, like Concert for Bangladesh, and Ringo Starr's solo career.

Need I say more?

Talent wise I would have to say The Rolling Stones, but The Beatles have had a much larger impact on popular culture. So I'll say The Beatles.

The Rolling Stones because they're were a bit edgier. The Beatles were unquestionably influential, but ultimately made fairly mediocre pop and psychedelia from a retrospective.

The Stones, because they had a better rock sound and didn't feel that they had to appeal to everybody. I always felt that they were more rebellious than the Beatles ever were.

That was completely unnecessary... Why waste a post?

Back on topic, I'm going to have to go with, The Rolling Stones. I personally prefer their style over, The Beatles.

I like the edginess of some Rolling Stones songs and really never got into the Beatles... I just didn't like their lyrics, but the music was written well.

John Lennon was a great musician though and was definitely one of my idols when I first started learning how to play guitar.

I've listened to both and know quite a bit about each, but my vote goes to...

The Rolling Stones

This was a great match-up.
