Manzarek and Krieger of the Doors bettter musicians than the others mention.
I agree The Kinks should be up their and The Small Faces with Marriots voice the best of them all.

Re: The Beatles v The Rolling Stones
I had one of the early satellite radios in my car about 15-odd years ago. While trying to turn the Doors off when they came on the Mrs managed to hit the wrong button and mark the “artist”. Whenever the and doors song played on any station of the radio it would tune to that station. It ended up being chucked out the window.

The Stones no question.
Beatles the most overrated band of all time.
I've never got it, They were just in the right place at the right time.
The target of adulation from screaming teenage girls back then and now old white men.
Best British band for me...The Small Faces.

Ha ha, Any Old Irony
Keep your Beatles wig on
You never fail to disappoint
That was a jokey comment in response to a mention of the mid 60’s era of West Ham & music etc designed to provoke the usual sensitive Beatles fans
And fans of men singing about holding your hand like yourself

Personally i think the Doors were among the most overrated bands ever. Like i said earlier ,its all subjective. They have a fan base which must enjoy them so they are/were valid.
My sister is an old school soul/northern soul fan and although she cant stand his voice she will acknowledge that Dylan is among the greatest song writers who ever lived. Which is exactly as it should be.

Mick Taylor was a more than ample replacement for Jones.
He played on Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St.

Sgt Pepper came out I believe about the same time as The Doors first album.
I think tracks like The End are far more inovative.

Iggy Pop and the Stooges had more influence than the Beatles. All the way from punk to grunge and any idie music today.
But if you prefer We All Iive In a Yellow Submarine and the influence it had on wishy washy bands like ELO then thats up to you

Why is everyone so needy that we have to qualify any personal preference with a comment on how many people said thing you don’t like has influenced?
I don’t like ketchup but can appreciate the impact it has had on the world.
Is that better?

And if you weren’t into Mop Top boybands wanting to hold your hand as thousands of screaming girls squealed like a BANSHEE you could listen to the Velvet Underground
-------------
This has to be one of the most stupid and ignorant comments I've seen.
The Velvet Underground didn't even release an album until '67, by which time the Beatles were releasing Sgt Pepper.
There aren't half some fuckwits on here.

Mashed has nailed it. You dont have to like something to respect it or appreciate its influence/impact.

That is my basic thought on the thread.
I never chose to listen to either of these bands but each has a massive (slightly different) legacy that has to be acknowledged. In that I think the Beatles edge it.
(And I would put the house music I dislike at 99.9% but a young me would have done the same with country.)

I can's stand the Rolling Stones especially Mick Jagger. An OAP doing girly dancing steps around the sage and screaming in a fake american accent is not my idea of entertainment. I saw them on the news a couple of years ago and they put me in mind of Sanit Saens' Dance Macabre where all the corpses in the graveyard get up to dance.

Re: The Beatles v The Rolling Stones

As for influences, personally, after listening to a load of Oasis and indie aged 17-19ish and then going back to the beatles a bit later and hearing the influences etc made me appreciate them a bit more. If that makes sense.
Also theres a difference between saying something isn't to your taste but appreciating what they did, and just writing it off as shit though. I mean i don't like Take That but can appreciate why people can enjoy it. See also 90% of house music (i fucking hate it but totally understand why millions of people love it)
