Wilson was influenced by the so-called unity of the album. That each song seemed to lead into the next (any such effect at any rate is the work of George Martin who assembled the tracks). Wilson was not influenced by the SOUND. The Beatles, on the other hand, were influenced by the SOUND of Pet Sounds. What part of that is difficult to understand?
I brought up the vocal harmonies thing merely as another example of The Beatles not pioneering, but rather drawing inspiration from a great idea that was pioneered elsewhere (i.e. by the Beach Boys).
Also, that statement about me "trying to disprove claims no one's made" is based on a single comment that I made. So it seems a bit odd to say "you seem to spend more of your time doing X".
