Beatles vs. Stones

I’m glad we had/have both. I’m a WHO fan as well.

I’m going to brag a little (ok a lot), that I got to walk across the famous "zebra crossing" to Abbey Road Studios and spend many hours (and drink a pint or two) inside the studios where the Beatles and Pink Floyd recorded, to name just two. I was working with Apple setting up a multi-media production suite.

At the time (this was the late 90’s), they re-painted the white wall outside the studio regularly so that there was space for new ’Beatles Tribute Graffiti’.

It was like going to music history church. If those walls could talk...

They are both different and great bands!

I’d have to go with the Beatles—much more melodic, for the most part.  My own favorites, however, are the Moody Blues.

Fascinating to watch in real time as some of the most iconic songs are created out of thin air.

Essential viewing for any Beatles fan.

The Beatles incredible output in just 7 years is partially revealed in Get Back as you can clearly see that they never stopped creating new songs.

Even as they are making  what eventually came to be known as Let It Be they are already preparing songs that would appear on Abbey Road.

Perhaps that's the real secret to their success?

Don't ever stop!

@cd318 Akin to the Beatles in Get Back is the video of the The Stones in the studio working on Sympathy For The Devil.  Starting out as an acoustic ballad and slowly turning into the near violence that is, IMHO, the greatest rock & roll song even written.
