To me Zep has the best of the best, but the bulk of their stuff doesn't do it for me. The Beatles are Gods.

Pink Floyd ftw

Stones>Beatles

What are the criteria!!!

Band I listen to the most:

1. The Rolling Stones
2. The Beatles
3. Led Zeppelin

Band with most consistent output:

1. The Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin
3. The Rolling Stones

Band that has had the most influence:

1. The Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin
3. The Rolling Stones

Band with most musical talent:

1. Led Zeppelin
2. The Beatles
3. The Rolling Stones


I think no matter the order, it's clear to me that they're the top 3.

Out of those 3 Zeppelin all the way any day.

Depending on mood, I'll go with Beatles and Zeppelin as a 1A and 1B. But I'd replace the Stones with The Who

Only band I can think of that matches the musicianship of LZ

I'm going to do an experiment. Since I'm not super familiar with the albums of both the Stones and the Who, I'm going to pick each band's top 4 albums according to this list and decide which I like better. From an 'album' perspective.

I decided to go with five albums.

Exile on Main St.
Let it Bleed
Beggars Banquet
Sticky Fingers
Aftermath

vs.

Who's Next
Tommy
The Who Sell Out
Live at Leeds
My Generation

Do yourself a favor and add Quadrophenia to the list for The Who

Aite, and I'll add another Stones album. Stones fans--what say you? Out of Our Heads, Tattoo You, or Between the Buttons?

I would personally just cut out that live album and replace it with Quadrophenia.

Are you gonna listen in chronological order?

The Stones at the top of their game are hard to beat.

But yes Between the Buttons (US Version) or Their Satanic Majesties Request for fun

I want to make a new thread

Stones v Beatles v Zeppelin v Floyd v Who
