The Week contest: Battle of the bands
This week's question: Paul McCartney, 77, recently reignited the oldest debate in rock by claiming that the Beatles "were better" than the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger, 76, shot back that the debate was moot, because while his band was still packing stadiums, the other "doesn't exist." Please come up with a song title about the rivalry between these septuagenarian musicians and their bands.
