That is all very well. However, I said nothing about progression or leaps. All I'm saying is that The Beatles were so consistent that they are mainly an album-band to me (despite an endless amount of great singles), while The Beach Boys is more of a singles-band. To me. I still dig them, though.
G.A. De Forest: What you write seems to be (for the most part) at odds with everything else I've ever read about The Beatles over the years, which leads me to seriously question your opinions. What is it you're trying to say? That The Beatles were practically a label-made group who would never gain popularity if not for extreme advertising and overzealous managers and chairmen?
