All summer long may be one I've heard. I must admit, Im a little Turned away by the earlier stuff when I see that their first 3 albums started with the words "surfin" or "surfer"

Well, what do you expect from a band called The Beach Boys, albums with mountain climbing themed titles?

Both bands are simply outstanding, but I think you have to say The Beatles were better. I saw a documentary on The Making of Sergeant Pepper (which I highly recommend) and it talks about the influences both bands had on each other.

If there were no Sgt. Pepper there would be a Smile; at least that's my understanding. Smile was supposed to be a response to Revolver from how I've recently heard it. One of the last, crushing factors in Smile's demise was Paul MacCartney bringing over some tracks from Sgt. Pepper's during Smiley Smile recordings - namely, the Vega-Tables session wherein Paul chomped on a carrot for one of the song's percussive tracks.

erm, no, both camps knew what the other was up to, Brian knew about the genesis of Sgt Pepper

Paul "guested" on "Vega-Tables"

if there were no such competition to make "Smile" a better album than "Sgt. Pepper", it wouldn't have been a contributory effect on Brian's mental collapse

As I've read it, it was pretty deep into Smile's demise/Smiley Smile's conception that Brian actually heard Sgt. Pepper. He may have known the album was in production, but he may not have known its content.

I remember hearing a Beatles vs Beachboys "Rock and Roll Music" competition on WLS radio station in the 70's. I voted Beatles, just because it was a bit "Heavier" to my ears, and I like "Heavier".


The Beatles - Rock & Roll Music - YouTube


Rock and Roll Music- The Beach Boys - YouTube

What say you?
