Both musical groups defined a genre.
I am an actual working musician for 40 years. Jazz Piano...made a very good living...why?...I'm talented.

1. Paul...

2. Beatles

3. Most all compositions can be done in any style at any tempo and remain perfectly constructed melodeys.

4. Stones are limited to at least a lead, bass and drum component--with lots of show busy acting/staging. Again, not to dimminish their impact...just not as clean, simple, clear, hense...Beatle perfection.

5. Clearly, Stones. They were the best innitial rock band and spearheaded almost every rock bands staging and show tactics.
