The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones


If you had to choose that one of these groups never existed,which means that all their contributions to popular music never happened which one would it be?

Anyone who says "c'mon" to the Beatles, or even worse, "neither", was either not around or not listening enough to appreciate their respective influence first hand, or has absolutely no concept with respect to the history of rock and roll.

Sorry, but it's true.
I guess it just plain depends on your likes/ dislikes. Me?? Beatles all the way. I would love to see the figures on each band's catalog sales. I "think" I know which has sold more over the last 15 years. Never heard of no "Breakfast with the Stones",show. (WE got 2 shows Sun AM here.--Then another point re. how many other artists covered each group. I "think" I know that ans. too. ----But the Stones never existing---Where does that come from???---U got a time machine and can go back???
I just happen to like the Rolling Stones more than the Beatles. Yeah, I guess I understand the "influence" the Beatles had/have on pop music. But, for my tastes in music, the Stones far out weigh the Beatles.
