I can easily name 2x more Beatles songs than Rolling Stones.

The Beatles...because Paul, George & John.

This vote seems more easily decided by flipping a coin as both are great bands. Decades ago, my choice may be different, but I voted for the Rolling Stones. The main reason is: - The Stones are still touring, with their new tour starting about 60 years after their first,
- Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are not only performing on stage at over 80 years old (and surviving their years of heavy drug usage).

Funny video of Rolling Stones without the music.

Funny video of Rolling Stones without the music. After that video closed, it rolled to a “Dancing In The Street without music”. It’s Jagger and Bowie dancing around like complete lunatics. LOL!

Stones.
I still listen to Revolver, parts of The White Album and Abbey Road, but that's it for full albums. Some songs from other post Revolver albums too. Don't listen to any pre-Revolver Beatles and a lot of the later songs l no longer like or never really did.
Meanwhile l like every Stones album from Aftermath to Exile along with Some Girls, Tattoo You and a lot of singles from other records.
They're both great, though.

I can appreciate what you said about the early Beatles…but prior to Revolver, you only missed Rubber Soul. That album is not quite Revolver, but is a huge departure from A Hard Day’s Night/Help! into their next phase. Rubber Soul was a good precursor to Revolver…the closing of Revolver (Got To Get You Into My Life/Tomorrow Never Knows) set the stage for Sgt Pepper (wow)…after which they proved to have THREE prolific songwriters in a band of 4 (bigger “wow”). The Stones didn’t have that.

The Stones didn’t have that. That's just my error. I thought it was right after Revolver. So, make that the dividing line. Thanks for correcting my mistake. I agree The Beatles had three distinct songwriting voices. I like the more consistent and bluesy Stones thing a lot, though. FWIW, the solo albums by those three writers are better than anything any Stone did alone IMO, so there's that. It's a band sound and not individual songwriting thing. And just my taste.

And…if anyone wonders how much George Harrison was suppressed by Lennon/McCartney (and I love Lennon/McCartney)… just listen to the “All Things Must Pass” album… The Beatles had to split because there was just too much talent there. And ALL FOUR of them had very good solo careers (even Ringo had two solo #1 singles before Lennon!)

He did Plastic Ono Band too, right? Love that one. Yeah, Ringo had good songs too. Don't know if he wrote any of them, but stuff like "It Don't Come Easy" and "Back Off Boogaloo" is good.

Oh…and as far as Plastic Ono Band…maybe? But Spector was definitely involved in the “Imagine” album.
