Rolling Stones all the time, until you get burnt ou,t then Beatles, then back to Stones
If I replied before , I apologize in advance. Stones. The Beatles were my favorite band for many years. As I said elsewhere , I'm just barely old enough to remember The Beatles when they were still together. In the late 60's , you had The Beatles coming out of your ears . i really don't remember hearing The Stones much until the Early 70's. My oldest Brother was a big fan. I remember seeing "Ladies and Gentlemen , The Rolling Stones" at a mall in Peoria with my Brothers. But , I did'nt really become a big fan until "Some Girls' came out , and I found "Hot Rocks" at a PAWN SHOP. Still a big Beatles fan , mind you , but , I was getting off 'em in the 80's . I GOT OFF NEARLY ALL MAINSTREAM ROCK AFTER I GOT INTO PUNK , BUT , THE STONES AND THE WHO , I WENT BACK TO. THE BEATLES , NOT SO MUCH. I'VE GOT THE "I'M DOWN" 45. I'm happy.
I never had much interest in either bands, because i started at a young age with bands influenced BY them. I heard the first New York Dolls album before I heard any Stones albums....so my way of thinking was "Why have the Stones when I could have an even rawer, sloppier, faster version of the Stones?".
I'd say another thing that happened was that Punk made me take more accessible things for granted. I knew that I could always go to a record store and find something by the stones or Beatles. I think my first Stones cd wasn't until I was like 19. I was working at a gas station, and some guy around midnight popped open his trunk and asked me if I wanted to buy some cd's because he needed money for the Newfoundland ferry.
In terms of the big 60's bands though, I always loved The Who
I like both the stones and beatles though, and i'm sure overtime I'll like them more and more.
