I’d do Mick Jagger.

Tough question. I’d go with the Stones – they have been around (and continue to make music) 30+ years after they began. The Beatles flourished but then fell apart.

So what you’re essentially asking is, would I rather be half dead or have my face look like a creased towel?

@elbanditoroso It is 50 years plus for The Stones. I’ll take the Stones!

I would skip those bands and hang out with Zepparella. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH-_9cwdLug

Beatles.

McCartney still looks like he in his 40s, and Ringo not much worse. And people still listen to the whole Beatles catalog; the Stones had enough bad albums and tired songs put away years ago. I remember 30 years ago when a friend was throwing a party and on his flyer he said, We Promise – no “Brown Sugar”.

The Stones are still haunted by a band that broke up 44 years ago.

Gotta be the Beatles.

The Stones. More my style of music. Never really liked the Beatles outside of a few of their songs. Plus, the Stones have lasted forever.

The bad boys…the Stones. I like a lot more of their music than I do the Beatles, not to mention that they’re still alive and still enjoying making music.

The Beatles. They crafted more worthwhile music in their time together, plus they had the good sense to quit while they were ahead. Sure, the Rolling Stones have been around for 50 years, but they’ve been a joke for the last 35 at least.

I’d rather be the stone that ran over the beatle.
