I’m far too young to understand what any of the posts on this topic mean.

Although lyrically The Beatles were better, personally, I do prefer The Stones.

Having said that my favourite of the 60's bands was The Kinks, and also big fan of The Hollies and Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetwood Mac with the late great Peter Green the first of the real Supergroups.

Virtually all McCartneys solo stuff is vomit inducing bilge. Lennon and Denny Laine carried him.

Of course folk have their own taste,views and opinions on favorite artist/bands

rlHERErl is a list of best-selling music artists.

Not quite the point Cokey.

Sorry JINJ, what is the point? Iv'e obviously missed it.

1/ Stones by a country mile. Cannot be beaten.
2/ The Who
3/ The Animals
4/ The Four Seasons
5/ The Kinks
6/ The Beach Boys

Fortunate enough to have seen all these bands live. Saw the Stones on Saturday, 9th October, 1965 at Leeds Odeon. The same day as the tragic murder of schoolgirl Elsie Frost.
The Beatles appeared at The Regal Cinema on February 7th 1963, but I wasn't sufficiently interested to go see them. Saw the Four Seasons at Regal Cinema in May 1963; their first ever appearance in England and The Beach Boys at Leeds Odeon in November, 1966. Their live performance of Good Vibrations was just perfect.

Anybody got the blue prints for building a time machine???

Had the misfortune to watch the stones at roundhay park for their so called farewell concert ,bad mistake .Now led zeppelin at knebworth were on another planet ,only my opinion though .

I challenge you to a scrap behind the bike sheds at playtime, Ketty. Your opening statement was totally unacceptable!

Vasty was worried about folk being a bit fractious as well.

By the way. The Roundhay Park concert was never intended to be their last concert. Saw them in 2018 at Old Trafford. Better than ever.

Saw the Stones at Roundhay and the 'sound' sure did spoil the event, we were quite a way from the stage and it was funny (although not at the time) to watch MJ on the big screen and his sound coming across about two songs later

Also went to Knebworth, can't remember which week, to see Led Zep, great event, but fell asleep when Chas and Dave were on

Another of my fave groups around that time was the Faces, saw them a few times including at the Top Rank in Doncaster, also saw David Bowie there.

Vasty asked... Whose the coolest of the big two British sixties bands? The Beatles or the Rolling Stones. Not necessarily the highest earners.
