Well, the new "Where do you rank the Beatles" thread made me think of this.
This is all your opinion. Etc.  I think that the Velvet Underground were the better/ more influential/ my favourite band ever.
Some people think it's the Beatles, who I also like quite a lot.
And, some facts and crap:
Rolling Stones: Beatles #1, Velvet Underground #19
AVRev: Beatles #2, Velvet Underground #88
Scaruffi: Beatles ('Not forgotten to be ignored'), Velvet Underground #1
VH1: Beatles #1, Velvet Underground #24
BEA: Beatles #1, Velvet Underground #10
This poll is all in good fun.

Well I'm just not a Velvet Underground fan. Not yet, at least.

VU are the better band, with a wider musical range, experimenting way more than the Beatles (the White album is a mess anyway). Their first 4 albums are completely different and groundbreaking in their own way.

Recently realised how much I've fallen out of love with VU. I never liked the 3rd or the 4th album and though I initially loved WL/WH the most I now don't like/listen to it and VU+N is rapidly sliding down in my esteem. I think I just find them cold and emotionless now.
I think The Beatles had plenty of great albums, sounds, cultural influence and they didn't have Squeeze to their name. So The Beatles by a big margin.

Anybody who analyses and and enjoys music objectively and has their critical faculties intact, can possibly rate the Beatles as anything other than a bunch of second-rate musicians at worse or average musicians at best. To put them up against the Velvet Underground is simply a joke.
