If Pet Sounds was released on May 16 while Revolver was being recorded from early April through late June, then yes, Pet Sounds could have influenced at least some of the work on Revolver, since Pet Sounds was released right in the middle of the Beatles' recording session. Specifcally, Here, There and Everywhere was recorded on June 14th - a full month after Pet Sounds was released. That's plenty of time for Paul to have given the BB album several listens and borrow a few ideas.

And didn't the Beatles hear Pet Sounds a week in advance of its official release? I seem to recall a story about Bruce Johnston flying to England to play the album for them. |
Two insanely lush albums with extreme differences, man.
Right now I could really go for Pet Sounds, but it's been years (maybe even over a decade) since I've heard Revolver. Pet Sounds gets my vote tonight. Beautiful, harmonic music. |

Hard. Pet Sounds is more of an 'album', Revolver is more a collection of songs. On the basis that Beatles did at least 2 or 3 other albums equally as good as Revolver (imo) but BB's never even came close to matching Pet Sounds again*, I'd probably go for Pet Sounds.

That's almost as bad as some of the baseball stats you get during a boring game. I paraphrase:"Youngest player since 1987 to have a game-tying RBI in the seventh inning of WS Game 5!" :beer: |
haha...
I'm guessing he is anyway. unless there's a guy whose chewed celery on 3 tracks? no, there can't be. |

dca I'd have to argue that smile even incomplete surpasses pet sounds, and smiley smile though odd and overall a different album, is at least on pet sounds' level |
That's a tough vote. Can I call Pet Sounds more "impressive" while still calling Revolver my favorite? Does that make sense?
