The Rolling Stones were the better rock band but the Beatles were far more talented musicians.
I agree that the Stones were the better rock band, but I’m not sure that the Beatles were the more talented musicians. McCartney is talented and Harrison was pretty good, but Lennon and Ringo weren’t great musicians. I would say that the Beatles were the more talented songwriters, at least in their prime, and considering what they were able to do in the studio with George Martin, were more revolutionary.
