what?? The wiggles aren't an option!??
the beatles, whether you think them good or bad, started the Rock rolling.. if not for them, the Rolling Stones would have never been as big as they are.. The type of music, the Rock Genre, really took off with the Beatles.. and to take it one step further.. Paul McArtney.. still writing and singing hit songs.. plays his age.. nothing more sad then Lynyrd Skynyrd still trying to do their show at the age of 60 something.. Paul still plays the music, but his show has mellowed, and he's still cranking out HUGE songs. And other then getting caught with a little grass in his suitcase in Tokyo about 30 years ago, when was the last time you've read ANYTHING negative about him...
and *sniff* he opened up his home to an ailing friend, so his friend could die with dignity in peace away from the spotlight...
If you want a famous person for your kids to look up to, to see as a mentor, Paul would be it.

Nothing to see here
All have their points. Beatles put out 3 or 4 great albums with Lennon/McCartney writing..Neither IMO, after the split, were any good, as solo writers. Stones, after the late 70s became a non-enity to me, really enjoyed them 65 thru the 70s. As of right now, I would much rather listen to the Doors than any of them, but didn't care for them back in the day. ...but...

Jim Morrison just has so much feeling and passion in his voice. I love some of The Beatles and the brillancy of most the Lennon/McCartney collaborations, but other songs just turn me off.I've never been a big fan of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger's voice has never done a thing for me, although I do appreciate the impact their music had.
in a bad way. The Beatles are cool. But I love the Stones! 
Keith Richards scares me. Like noone else. 
I would pay to be at his autopsy. Mick Jagger is fairly haunting too. Some/most of their music gets your mojo moving, but the dudes are just too focked up.
Jim Morrison, mentally complex and sexual voice extraordinairre, and the Doors are my second choice. Dig the music and the bios...
The Beatles would have to be my numero uno pick of the three... Paul McCartney's voice has always cast something over on me... and he's always seemed to be a pretty decent person. The music and the look of the foursome (and their changes) as well as the country at the time is pretty interesting when reflected on the red and blue albums....
So, there's my chime in.

The Beatles. As the band went on, their music actually got better. I recommend that any Beatles fan listen to the recent "Let It Be Naked," stripped of Phil Spector's post-production. Without all the sappy strings, "Long and Winding Road" sounds like a Ray Charles homage, which is what McCartney intended the song to be.
The Stones had a string of classic albums from "Beggars Banquet" through "Some Girls." But they haven't made a decent album in two decades. Rock critic David Segal has suggested that the muscle that produces great rock music stops working at age 40, and maybe there's some truth to that.
For some reason, the Doors were too quirky for me. But I would like to find sheet music for Ray Manzarek's keyboard parts.
