Beatles vs. Stones


Which do you prefer?

I'd have to go with the Rolling Stones although I do love Revolver.

And you?

@unreceivedogma - the scene that sticks out most for me was when they are all around the mic doing the 'Woo! Woooo!'s in the background for 'Sympathy'.

@larsman

The film also includes Black Panthers, Maoists, Nazi sympathizers, a bunch of white women getting shot, and “Eve Democracy”.

it’s about the 60s, not (just) about the Stones.

There’s an interesting scene in the rehearsal when they change “who killed Kennedy?” on the fly to “Who killed the Kennedys?”

@unreceivedogma  I stand corrected.  Guess you really can't trust anything you read on the internet.  🤣

@bigtwin 

The Beatles 1st US release was January 10, 1964. 
So, in the US, it was 3 months. 

@unreceivedogma  Yes, but I was thinking along the lines of when they started at a writing team and suggesting Lennon/McCartney were out of the gate a bit sooner.  Once Jagger/Richards started to hit their stride with Beggars Banquet, there was not looking back.  IMHO, their work from Beggars though Exile, equals the best of the Beatles.  Different style of music, more soft rock vs hard rock, but both collections have stood the test of time and that's what really speaks to the quality of the songs.
