Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesThe Eternal Question: Beatles or Stones?
1960s England produced arguably the two biggest and most successful Rock and Roll bands in history.
One of them, although they were only together for ten years, created a catalog (28 studio albums) whose influence is still being felt in all corners of music. The other one, after 55 years of performing and 30 studio albums, became Rock’s ultimate survivors while drawing a map of how Blues-based guitar Rock combined with decades of genre experimentation can lead to immortality.
Is it Sgt. Peppers or Exile on Main St.? Let It Bleed or Revolver? The White Album or Some Girls? It’s a simple question, yet one that resonates through the ages - Beatles or Stones? Vote here, and Explain Yourself in the comments.
