Stones are hands down the bad boys.
I remember reading Spanish Tony describing hours long, full body blood transfusions to clean up before touring in the US. Hardcore.
The Stones were much more blues influenced and had more accomplished musicians. The Beatles were much more pop and sold lots of records. Originally Posted by oilfieldscum????

It doesn't get much more bluesy than that.
Led Zeppelin was the blues oriented band. Originally Posted by Oralist
