This is pretty accurate. I've seen another source that breaks down individual songs by percent contribution.

Although it's not that cut and dry regarding who did what with the Stones' songwriting, I'd agree that Jagger / Richards worked better as a musical partnership.
Eh I don't know what 'phallocentric' means, but NO GIRLS! -

I would have to go with Jagger/Richard since Lennon/McCartney didn't write that many songs as a team.
They began writing as a team but by 1965, were a team in name only. George Martin said their relationship as songwriters was very much a healthy competition.
God knew he was good and God did look the other way that day. -

I adore them both.
Gonna lean slightly towards John & Paul and only because they did and popularised a lot of stuff first and were funnier guys.but I cannot imagine and I shudder to think of a world, a youth, an adolescence and even a present without either The Beatles or the Stones.
Horrid.

If pressed, I would say that the experimenting with wider musical layers.as on Revolver and Sgt Pepper predating Satanic Majesties.
The shift away from being a covers band to writing their own material..remember that the first Stones hit was written by John and Paul.
The 'cracking' of America.
The promo/video concept with new single releases.
As a bandthese are the reasons the Fabs beat The Stones for me.as for the Original question , John & Paul or The Glimmer Twins.they have both produced many, many songs I adore and revere so I have to repeat that I love both flavours of ice cream and would not be mithered to choose one pair over the otherand thank the powers for both of them being around.
