Males and Females

[SentinelSlain]

I don't really know any fanboys tbh but I think at various points in my teenage years I was one of Judas Priest and later Slayer.

 

[Zephyrus]

I do perceive a Stones-Beatles rivalry among fanbases. I consider myself an avid Beatles enthusiast and never cared much for the Stones.

 

[Eligos]

Same. And I would argue that the reason why so many Beatles fans are die-hard is because the band was both a social and political monolith.

 

[Nephilim96]

I never really understood the Beatles/Stones thing. I mean, I haven't listened to either band very much, but they seem quite different to me. Never understood the comparisons.

 

[Eligos]

They're both part of "The British Invasion" cultural phenomenon and they both parented a number of other genres.

 

[SentinelSlain]

They're both far from perfect though. To me, they're basically bands with some good songs. I understand they were important parts of cultural movements, but I'm a music listener not a social scientist.

 

[Matt]

They are both fantastic songwriters. I prefer The Beatles, to me they have a better overall discography (by far) but the Stones have some iconic hits as well.

 

[damnromulans]

Stones music is better but Beatles message is better

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Not familiar with any of the two band's material. Couldn't even name a single Rolling Stones song and the only Beatles song I know is helter skelter.

And here is where my black shows.

Old rock popular bands that are overhyped like that are in my experience just okay. I would rather listen to the doobie brothers.



Edit: or Motown. Grew up on Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye etc..

 

[Zephyrus]

Both bands are rather sexist. I'm not sure which song is more repugnant, "Run For Your Life" or "Under My Thumb."

There's one Rolling Stones song - among the handful I've heard - that stands out among the rest, by a wide margin:

 

[juxtaposed girl]

You should probably go ask that on a Tool forum.

I did. They were useless lol

I see you've come up with a politically correct excuse for your tastes.

 

[The Butt]

It appears The Butt hates Tool. Now I know that Tool is the best band ever.

Nope, Tool is just music for chuds.

Beatles are also pretty crap considering the praise they get.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I don't give a shit about the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. I'd rather listen to something else.

 

[romanticism]

I simply meant that considering the whole dubstep/Suicide Silence thing, the opposite of your opinion must be objective truth.

 

[The Butt]

I was gonna link a "Shit Post" gif but I really can't be arsed.

 

[romanticism]

You should have. I would have been deeply impacted and probably inspired to change my ways, lower my mental walls, and be my non-asshole self.

Too late now, oh well.

 

[The Butt]

Shit man, should've told me that before, then I'd have done it. Ah well, c'est la vie.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

I don't have a preference for Rolling Stones or The Beatles, I've heard a few decent songs by both of them. They have their place in history as 'most covered bands'.
