I`ve been listening to a number of Beach Boys albums again recently and my opinion about them hasn`t really changed. The majority of the material sounds like great music to put you into a happy mood, whether it be for summer, easter and especially christmas, with their at times sublime surfy psychedelic harmonious sound. As said above, the Beach Boys only really had one real genius in Brian whereas the Beatles had three. I think the single "Heroes and Villains" their crowning achievement and "Smile" their best album.

As a contest with the Beatles, the Fab Four win hands down. In fact I`d sooner listen to the Byrds, Love, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane etc from the west coast bands of that era.
