Battle of the Bands

The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones...who's better? I never really knew there was a kind of "battle" between these two bands until class the other day. Both bands had die hard fans that would argue that their band was better. I don't think either was better than the other. They were both rock but had their own styles. It really depends on the mood you're in. Listen to the Beatles for the softer "clean cut" music, and listen to the Stones for a harder "bad boy" style. They are both very talented and influential bands that deserve the fame they've had. I just read an argument about how The Beatles started it all and there was no British Invasion before them and wouldn't have been one without them, and that everything after them was an imitation. Then it said in the Stones defense that the Stones were an R&B band on the London Club Circuit and had nothing to do with the Beatles and the Liverpool sound and many other bands that followed: The Kinks, The Who, The Yardbirds came from the London scene not the Liverpool one. This in a way can put to rest one of the main arguments that the Beatles are better than the Stones because they started the British Invasion.
