Mick is the best front man of all time
He's better than Daltrey (or Keith Relf), I'll give him that.
But the Beatles had two much better "frontmen"

I’ll have to agree with Paul on this one. The Wall of Sound Phil Spector treatment was way too much.
So you and John will have to just disagree with me and Paul. There’s a song in there, also.

Phil killed a woman. His doesn’t get a vote.

One of the youtube comments said it best: A masterpiece...buried beneath a mountain of masterpieces. This song is barely at all even in the popular consciousness.
That opening chord, tho

I see this point a lot, but its not even really a valuable point in a debate on the topic
Every musician has influences, if its impossible for a band to be better than its influences then whoever was the largest influence on the Beatles should be who we are talking about, but its not.
That said, I think the Beatles are a world apart from the Stones musicially.
I'd still rather go to a Stones concert or listen to a Stones record more though.

The Beatles were fundamentally changing music while the Stones were still doing blues covers. After the Beatles broke up, the Stones came into their own, especially with the addition of Mick Taylor.

when it came to the Beatles and Rolling Stones, you were into one or the other. There were Beatles fans and there were Stones fans.
I think Beatles or Elvis is the more revealing question. There's near 100% overlap between big fans of the Beatles and Stones. I guess I'd take the Beatles because there have been other great bluesy rock bands but there's never been anyone quite like the Beatles. If Lennon had lived there was a great chance of a reconciliation and just what they would have morphed into remains the biggest what if in rock and roll.
