Beatles vs. Stones

In the US the music of Dylan and G. Dead will likely outlive either British band. 60's Beatles music will survive a long time but that was a single decade. Stones, Dylan and G. Dead music are still performed live both by the survivors and many others (almost every large town and every city have Dead cover bands). Dylan's recent albums compare well with his early music, so he would take the creative longevity prize (and Nobel). Beatles stopped performing mid-60s but of course they are covered a lot today as well. Desert island for me: Beatles would be 3rd choice, stones not at all. Bob Marley would work just fine instead.

@onhwy61 Thanks for setting it straight for me! 'Preciate it.

All good comments.  I like them both. The Beatles and The Stones are completely different from each other. Why should I have to choose?  And +1 for Sympathy For The Devil.

And that's what I love about this site.  A simple question was asked and @bdp24 decided a short novella was called for, but kind of forget to answer the question. 🤣  I shouted out who killed the Kennedys, well after all, it was you and me.    

the Beatles plus Steve Martin
