Abstain, because all though these are good bands there are much better out there. Cream and The Doors quickly come to mind as well as a bunch of other bands that have much better music.
 
only 2 options. :(

Have to go with the Stones. Because they were heavier. We might not have any heavy music today if it weren't for the Stones.

We'd be stuck with crap like Oasis. :)

Beatles weren't bad though. I like Helter Skelter.
 
The Beatles actually invented new approaches to both pop and rock music and used the newfangled concept of multitrack recording to create previously unimagined studio efffects, incorporating them seamlessly into their music. Their songwriting and recording legacy continue as major influences among producers, engineers, and songwriters.

The Rolling Stones began as a blues-influenced rock and roll band, but have a long history of following musical trends rather than setting them. They've done psychedelic, they've done disco, they've done whatever they thought would sell. They have profoundly influenced the performance aspect of rock and roll over the years, which is a truly impressive legacy in its own right.

But in terms of lasting influence and creativity on both our culture and music, The Beatles did more in their ~one decade of time together than the Rolling Stones have accomplished in over 40 years.

IMHO.
 
I voted for the Beatles because i hate Rolling Stones which are incredibly boring.
 
I like the Stones more, but that wasn't the question, since there are no other options, voted for them allthough the Beatles were probably more influential.



But what the **** do I care about being influential when I listen to music. Rock >>>>>> Pop any time of the year and twice on Hot Fudge Sundae. When do you ever go: yeah, listen to the influentiality of that music, it swings/rocks/whatever floats your boat.

The ultimate band of course is The Spiders From Mars.

edit: the one in the song, not the actual band.
