This week, it’s the ultimate legacy showdown, The British Invasion — The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones.

Let’s be real. Most music lovers would pick both. But that’s not how this works.
Each Sunday, we throw two artists into the ring. No ties. No safe bets.
You can only choose one. That’s the rule.
Let the rumble begin! The SONIQLOOX PIT is open!
The Beatles — melody, evolution, and a legacy that rewrote pop.
Four kids from Liverpool who rewired the DNA of pop music.
From mop-top harmonies to psychedelic experiments, they didn’t follow the trends. They created them.
Every album shifted the landscape. Every song hit different.
Legends before they even broke up.

The Rolling Stones — grit, swagger, and a catalog that bleeds rock and roll.
The Stones weren’t here to play nice.
Blues-soaked, gritty, and full of swagger, they brought danger to the stage and kept it there.
If the Beatles cleaned things up, the Stones lit it on fire.
Sticky Fingers. Exile. Gimme Shelter. No skipping required.
One makes the cut. Who are you taking?
