In the old debate of Blur vs Oasis The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones, there are a few things to consider:
- The Stones are still around.
- The Beatles were knighted.
- Billy Shears' music is very different from John Lennon's. The Beatles did things with rhythm that few, if any, hit music producers dare try even today.
- The Beatles were Pop. The Stones are Rock'n'Roll.
- Apple Records.
I think it boils down to: Do you admire success more than you like to dance?
