deaths_friend Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 On their latest album Metric's lead singer Emily Haine asks us the question "Who Would You Rather Be, The Beatles or the Rolling Stones??". now in the context of the song its not asking which band do u prefer listening to, rather which band would u like to have been a part of. actually she's not asking either question but for the sake of this thread lets assume she is. i can't decide which i would prefer. its pretty much the most influential band of all time vs the biggest band of all time.

the_gloaming09 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The Beatles by far. I mean with the exception of Michael Jackson, and Elvis there's never been a musical artist as big as The Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The rolling stones for me, based purely on the 60's output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaths_friend Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 i hope you are all picking the band you would rather be a member of not the band you prefer listening to. i'm very much torn between the two. both bands have had a massive impact on music and have been very very successful. so it really goes down to which band would of been cooler to be around. the stones are one of the best live acts ever and have been so consistently for over 40years whereas the beatles hardly spent 5years on the road before they locked themselves into Abbey Road. but at the same time it would of been amazing to have been in the studios when the Beatles were making those classic albums.

mountainloafers Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The Beatles fo sho. Hanging out with Mick Jagger might have been a little to "unhealthy" for me. Not to say the Beatles didnt party hard.... I think the conversations and activities would have had a more refreshing and inspirational quality.

deaths_friend Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 i guess a coldplay forum is the wrong place to put a beatles v rolling stones poll. thanks for your input anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_face_of_light Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I really don't like Sir Paul much and I prefer the Stones music too so for me it would be the Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
