I love both bands but I love The Beatles more, I think The Beatles made better albums in general. I love Pet Sounds and Wild Honey and Smiley Smile is also a very enjoyable listen, but in the same time period The Beatles made Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour. Its pretty difficult to build a case against The Beatles in this instance isn't it, if you're a neutral. Its a close one but I give it to The Beatles, by a nose, Ringo's nose.
I don't think I can post youtube videos yet, but if i could I'd post The Beach Boys - Here Comes the Night and The Beatles - Baby You're a Rich Man.
I don't care about the hype or who was more influential and all that stuff, I only care about what comes out of the speakers.
