It doesn't matter....

The Beatles were the first band to invade the U.S. American erupted when they had heard the sound of The Beatles and adored them for their clean cut looks. They were a very successful band, only touring for a few years. They had recorded 27 studio albums, 4 live albums. These were produced over a seven year span. They only toured for about four years. I feel they were more successful than any band in a seven year span. The Rolling Stones were influential for their sexual lyrics and dance moves on stage. They were a very talented band recording 29 studio albums, and 10 live albums. I don't feel that one band is more successful than the other because I love both of these bands. I will say however that both bands had their success. The conclusion to this is that both bands had an impact. The Beatles invaded the United States and were able to have a commercial impact. The Rolling Stones bent the rules a bit with their lyrics and dance moves and were able to change the culture of rock music.
