Ok, back to business.
For today's Rock and Roll Book Club, Jay Gabler brought in John McMillan's 2013 book 'Beatles vs. Stones', where he unpacks the most legendary rock rivalry of all time.
Jay says you have to pick one - you can't be neutral, and whichever side you take, your opinion is sure to be more nuanced by the time you're done.
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that name-check either the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, or bonus points for both?
Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
