  1. Too many to chose from especially considering the diversity of the albums and the songs on them. Maybe I would choose... Revolver but for the record I could choose 4 or 5 more as favorites.
  2. A competition between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, an old and somewhat overrated one since its actually a popularity contest, a contest in other words of opinion NOT a contest of facts: musical genius, innovation, influence and intellectual growth and depth. Everyone however is entitled to his or her own opinions and preferences, which must be respected. Some like the Rolling Stones others the Beatles; it is all a matter of taste. For me it has to be the Beatles. In my opinion they were and are the greatest, most influential act of the popular music era. Today their music is as fresh, timeless, excellent, ingenious and influential as it was decades ago, enjoyable to all sorts of people, young or old. The Beatles experimented, matured and diversified musically, creating some of the finest, most unique songs ever heard, at an incredible rate considering their relatively short life as a band (which makes their accomplishments all the more astounding) and were never interested in repeating the same old sound, genre or formula which is what I think the Stones tended to do (music that was popular but dull). Its true the Stones were influential in aspects of rock music, hard rock specifically, but the Beatles were influential to bands from the BeeGees to Genesis; in other words to almost every aspect of music. There are arguably no better hard rock bands then the Rolling Stones but there is certainly no better popular music band then the Beatles. *Note: Longevity as an active band does not exactly prove popularity since the Beatles had more #1 albums and singles in 8 years then the Rolling Stones had in 40 years.
