The Beatles. No shadow of a doubt - they are the greatest band of all-time. No band before or since can touch them when it comes to output and the ability to write prolifically (sp) great material. They never made a bad album
please don't say beatles by a landslide or things like that, you got to listen the stones's records between 1968/1972, and then you can talk
Looking at the tracklists on the Beatles albums, it seems that they have a lot more lousy songs than the likes of Queen.
Besides the hits available on 1962-1966, the first seven albums includes loads of totally unmemorable tracks as well as numerous cover songs...
The latter half of the catalogue (that is not featured on the 1967-1970 compilation) consists of artsy fartsy pretentious crap culminating in the likes of "Revolution 9".
Sadly the world is as objective about The Beatles' merits, as a Queen convention is when it comes to Roger's first solo album. :P

The Beatles definitely by a LANDSLIDE!!
Sure thing, The Stones had their share of hits but they're still miles away from having so much musical essence like The Beatles did. It doesn't matter what era or what albums are we talking about.

What Tero said is true. There is a lot of crap on Help!, Please Please Me and Beatles for Sale and most of the covers of Chuck Berry/Dennis Quaid songs (heh, I know it's not Dennis Quaid). It's also true that Rubber Soul, The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road/Let It Be contain avant-garde (i.e artsy fartsy crap) but I'll be damned if I don't like it, heh :)
A lot of people say that 'The White Album' is one of the best albums ever. It has some brilliant stuff without a doubt, but it has it's share of rubbish songs that are nothing but artsy experimental shit with no essence.

The Rolling Stones, Satisfaction
Hate the Beatles

Beatles hands down
The great thing about the Rolling Stones is that they've had 1, maybe 2 (5 at the most) good songs in 40 years. And those, I only like because my brother sang them in his band (and sang them *BETTER*).
Then you look at the Beatles.
'nuff said. In the Beatles case, it is perhaps one of the few examples of the majority being right.

I quite like Wild Honey Pie. Rev #9 is quite awful though
Its generally thought that if it weren't for the Beatles, rock n roll wouldn't be what it is today - whether or not you like their music they were pioneers in the techniques of recording music - even Brian May refers to them as such when talking about the making of Bo Rhap...
However, I have to say that the Stones certainly have their share of hits - my favourite is Jumpin' Jack Flash

Heh, I like Wild Honey Pie.. it has to grow on you. Now Rev. 9 is indeed 'avant-gardé'/shit.
It's true. I know I don't often hear Rolling Stones songs on the radio and I do listen to it quite a bit. Peh, maybe I'm just ignorant.
Strawberry Fields Forever!!!
