Beatles - without whom the other bands wouldn’t exist in all likelihood.

Stones - who paved the way for the next two

Zeppelin - who showed the world you could take Mississippi Delta Blues and combine it with pieces of what both the Beatles and Stones did

Floyd - who took pieces of the above bands and introduced the world to a revolutionary soundscape

They were contemporaries of the Stones and they existed simultaneously.

They both paved the way for others bands, but neither paved the way for each other.

Simply not true. I say as a Stones fan, the Stones would not have been what they were without the Beatles. They were a blues cover band until they met the Beatles. There is a famous story of Mick and Keith watching John and Paul write "I Wanna Be Your Man" for the Stones. When they saw how quickly John and Paul cranked it out, and with a little persuasion from Andrew Loog Oldham, Mick and Keith started to write their own songs. And the rest is history!
