The Rolling Stones were the first real rock band.

Obviously The Beatles, even the Stones admit it

The Stones were very good at their peak but didn't make anything half as good as Revolver

exile is better

The Beatles were visionaries, The Rolling Stones were not. Imagine them recording something like Tomorrow Never Knows.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art.

exile is better than anything the beatles ever did

Good album but mainly just on the strength of its consistency. Loads of really good songs, but not really any absolute masterpieces. The Beatles produced so many masterpieces, all of them SO forward thinking and visionary.

>Happiness Is A Warm Gun
>Tomorrow Never Knows
>Strawberry Fields Forever
>She Said She Said
>Norwegian Wood
>A Day In The Life

The list goes on.

Except they attempted to with Their Satanic Majesties Request.

Why do you discuss this seriously? Might as well discuss AC/DC vs Guns'n Roses

pretty good album desu

and they were all trippin acid when they took the photo for the sleeve

AC/DC no contest

Not even memeing

guns n roses for consistency, AC/DC for funness

Actually, the first ones to actually rock hard were The Who and The Kinks

I always personally enjoyed the Stones more but I can't really argue with this.

Lennon and McCartney were already accomplished songwriters by the time the Stones got popular, and the Beatles relied on significantly less covers than the Stones did early on.

Exile is better than nothing

Thunderstruck is the most rockin' song ever recorded
