I realize that The Beach Boys made quite a few more then the Beatles, but I'd say you can count the good Beach Boy albums on one hand.
Still their hits collectively and the direction Brian was pulling the band into during the 60s has left a very strong mark on music. I think both bands are still very influential even to this day.
