The Beach Boys for me. Sorry, but I have never seen the argument that the Beatles were consistent - I find 60% of their album tracks chaff. Maybe 40% on the 'big' albums, but aside from a few well-covered songs, I am just not that big a fan of th Fab Four. Not that I hold any particular contempt for them, since it's 'cool' to hate them. I recognise their impact, but stick on Pet Sounds or Sunflower and I'm in heaven. Stick on Sgt. Pepper and I'm skipping a lot of tracks.
