Follow the influence

if you want to compare the Beatles and the Stones be my guest i myself find it foolish to spend time on this argument because of the influences and modeling of previous musicians from both America and the U.K. the primary influences on the Beatles at first was mainly Elvis and the other Sun Record players Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison,and Jerry Lee Lewis. The Stones idolized the Blues Greats that came over in the 50's and 60's from America Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson II, and Chuck Berry all had played in England in European Tours. The Beatles eveloution in music is more present in the short period of time they had created masterpieces after making a name and comfortable arrangements to have the freedom to make "their" music. Albums now became more than just a record most of the later albums were concept and had pages and linear notes on all the songs, From Magical Mystery Tour to the White Album the Beatles were given the freedom of the studio and used it as an instrument. The Stones on the other hand stayed the course with blues and dabbled in the latest sounds in many songs to stay fresh and legitimize themselves as artists. The started out covering Chuck Berry Tunes and Muddy Waters their name comes from a song of His! in a era of disco and dance music they write Miss You to get an audience then they come right back to the blues it proof when they constantly play with Buddy Guy and other still living blues greats in concerts. Its shown more than ever in "Shine A Light"the film by Martin Scorsese. They both paved the way in Rock 'n' Roll showing to future players that theres more than one sound in Rock and its the child of the past genres before it.
