That's my problem with Pet Sounds, the songs become a bit too similar when grouped together. I tend to prefer albums with a more diverse selection.
Oh, and let's not credit The Beatles with absolutely everything, though. Prog took a big cue from them, sure, but there are other influences as well, like classical music and non-Beatles 60s bands.
