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

Led Zeppelin was the blues oriented band.

I dunno why you keep trying to interject Led Zeppelin. The subjects of this thread and the Beatles and the Stones.

Mick Jagger was the one of the ugliest muthafuckas in rock music but he was getting all kinds of pussy from all races of women. Originally Posted by kerwil62

Another interesting thing is the media and fans got real interested toward the end, looking for hidden
meanings in Beatles songs, and reading into them. John Lennon said, "They're just songs."
