That was a very good historical analysis of this time period. Said analysis makes it hard to believe that I caught you in the Sexy Euro trash thread. :)

You are right. Not like I could prove it anyways...I do, however, have an 18'' replica of Stonehenge. Sometimes it dobles as a sitting chair for when I drink my tea.

Make sure you don't step or sit on any little people when using that massive stage backdrop.

As for the Euro thing, I grew up in Europe so it was really hard to resist. Gotta love the song Euro-Trash girl by Cracker, saw that live in Atlanta (your neck of the woods) many moons ago in the outdoor theater they have (forgot the name).

Back to the topic - I'm with the poster that said it depends on the mood. Both are great.

I understand that overrated does not equal bad, but how can two bands that forever changed the face of music be considered overrated? And, their music still endures and is popular after 50 years?:hi:

This. The fact that there is a thread somewhere in 2012 asking this question pretty much blows the "overrated" thing out of the water.

Depends on the mood...as in "I'm gonna get trollied tonight, better put on some_____," or, "I'm gonna trolly somone tonight, better put on some_____." I think either one could fit.

Was this outdoor theater Lakewood, per chance? I've been there. That's pretty cool you grew up in Europe. My grandmother's parents were Austrian-Hungarian and I have a lot of Eastern European ancestry. I can understand the attraction from your perspective. :)

Stones easily for me. Not a Beatles fan. The Mick Taylor era Stones are my fav.

Yes to both of your questions. At least you are not a half redneck half pointed hat high goose stepper. In my next life I want to come back half Aussie - half Irish. Drink beer and quote lots of poetry in pubs - basically what I do now except then it would be legit.

I participated in your survey, the Can't Compare looked lonely.

Hate this debate. They are such different bands.

The Beatles modernized music recording technology along with amazing song writing and the use of harmonies.

The Stones popularized blues into mainstream culture.

I don't disagree but I took the debate to mean "which do you like better" not which is objectively the "better" band.

For me that's easy - The Stones by a long shot.

I personally enjoy listening to the Stones more than I do the Beatles (on most days). But if we are measuring which band made the biggest "impact" or musical contribution; the Stones don't even come close to what the Beatles did.

I agree. The Stones are more fun to listen to but The Beatles are an experience.

I can listen to any Beatles album any time but I have to be in the mood to listen to more than a song or two by the Stones.
