Of the two, I had to pick the Stones as overrated. They were one of the British acts to ride the coattails of The Beatles to get their initial fame. However, both groups music has stood the test of time, which is how an artist is truly measured.
The Beatles' impact on music is undeniable. They changed the whole scope. However, I truly believe if the music didn't die that day, Buddy Holly would have done it first. You could see the progression of his music and songwriting was going in that direction. John Lennon also was a big Buddy Holly fan.

Agreed. The only album I think that comes close was The Zombies' "Odessey and Oracle" released in 1968. That album could have had a major impact, but it didn't have a chance to gain any traction as the band broke up before it was released.
