Elvis
Little Richard
Roy Orbison
ANYTHING on Sun Records in the 50's

I don't even rate Pet Sounds particularly highly, but that's just me.
I've listened to a lot of both.

I went through a bit of a Beach Boys phase when I was 10 or 11...

But yeah, I can easily think of over 100 artists off the top of my head that I like better than the Beach Boys.

Nick Cave has written loads of songs about murderers.
Should he start going around massacring people to come across as less pretentious ?

These bands can't really be compared since they are not in the same genre, but personally I like The Beach Boys, but I know I must be on of the two that have probably said that so far.

Brian and Carl Wilson are the best harmony group of all-time. There is no question about it. Here Today is a perfect example of harmonies being introduced with a timpani and such a nice, slow plodding beat. The song has an almost circus like break before the last chorus and demonstrates how far fetched some of Brian’s ideas were. "Wouldn’t It Be Nice" could be the most uplifting song ever written, and not coincidentally it has backing vocals filled with ascending pitches and warmness. The “Run Run weooooooo” in the middle eight may be the moment that fully encapsulates this young love scenario. In a nutshell, the Beach Boys are so much better than the Beatles is almost scary how few people actually realize it.
