76er looks at 60's Clemson tunes ----

Who knew 76 was still viable at this hour. I am glad to see I roused my friend.
Anyone is free to compare the Beatles to the Stones, even a kid who has no clue.

I had 50 mint Beatles albums (all different) on my man cave wall, probably worth more than my house.
I own all the tunes from both groups in stereo and mono where available. I am a fan.

"comparing the Beatles to the Stones, most will say it is comparatively even. But, here's the thing. The Beatles put out their entire catalog, as far as Amurica was concerned, in LESS THAN SIX YEARS, 1964-1970. 1970 is only included because of the release of the Let It Be LP, which happened after the group was already done.

The Rolling Stones are STILL rolling, 50+ years on, trying to catch up to those six years. As John Lennon said in "I Dig a Pony",

"I-I-I-I roll a stoney
Well, you can imitate everyone you know
Yes, you can imitate everyone you know
I told you so...."

That is all, Carry on!"

==============================

I assume you want others to reply?

No band has or will equal the Stones as to ###. At 80, they can still sell out any venue if they choose to do that.

Beatles had a short span and near the end could not tour as they could not produce their intricate sounds live.
Their studio albums make the Stones look amateur.

Beatles tunes are so good that anyone can do them, and all do. Few cover Stones tunes as ??

Man for man, Stones musicians are better than Beatles musicians. That is not to say individual Beatles did not improve greatly over the years. They all are stars.

Stones are all about Mick, Beatles are more. Keith gets some fame, but not on that level.
It is kinda impossible to compare them as they are very different, but some like you and I have fun with that.

No one in our life time is a Mick, or even near him. The Beatles were the most popular thing in America since Gene Autry. You kids forget Gene and Elvis.

In my day bought all those and also James Brown and The Supreme's.

I learned to look forward to the one Keith Richards song they put on their albums. People used to give me lip about liking them, but they are philistines!

Before they make me run
Little T&A

Probably more, but as I was scrolling through Spotify, I saw Let Me Go. One of my Stones favorites. Give it a shot.

Also ran across the little morsel below a few years ago about their album Dirty Work. Makes me think of the peach slacks and white jacket I wore to a sorority party. What was I thinking?

In 2005, Pitchfork included the album cover in their list of "The Worst Record Covers of All Time", with Brent DiCrescenzo saying that no other cover "goes so far to completely tarnish the reputation of a Valhalla-ensconced band while demonstrating the crushing awfulness of 1980s aesthetics".
