Smile is released, the beatles try to make a better album, they make sgt peppers, people call the album "beach boys rip-off", they lost fame and they wasted all the money trying to make sgt peppers, lennon and mccartney kill themselves in a suicide pact, starr and harrison make a blues based country band, and frank zappa makes fun of them.
What more?

Keith Richards dies and Mick Jagger does some solo work that's infinitely better than the Rolling Stones' music
>itt beachboyfags live out fantasy world where they aren't forever #2
Syd Barrett continues to work with Pink Floyd and they make the ultimate psychedelic masterpiece.
considering Sgt pepper took advantage of more studio wizardry than smile, Sgt pepper and strawberry fields forever would have still be praised more
>Mike Love still manages to get Brian kicked out of the Beach Boys
>Brian Wilson teams up with a recently abandoned Syd Barrett to try and create the ultimate psychedelic masterpiece
>They overdose on LSD and permafuck their brains 5 minutes into the first session.
>Both die
if the beatles stopped existing after sgt peppers nothing would be different
its pointless to think so
I think the album isn't that great as pet sounds anyway
why can't beach boys and beatles fans get along
Because the Beatles are fucking better and the fools deny it
Agreed, however SMiLE (2011) and Pet Sounds are better than anything the Beatles wrote.
Also:
Brian >> Paul > John
Beatles are far more consistent obviously
to this day they still think they are trapped inside the album
>Beatles produce a significantly different Sgt Pepper
>Beatles breakup is hastened
and while we're imagining things
>Paul and Brian collaborate on an album and tour together, making the entire BB and Beatle catalogues sound like shit in comparison.
why didn't it happen
Smile ends the Vietnam War by making everyone laugh and have a spiritual experience. Surf's Up is analyzed and humankind understands the word of god. World peace is achieved.
fuck this gay earth
I've never heard surfs up
Brian Wilson's LSD use really wasn't very pronounced. He only did it four or five times.

It’s a man at a concert. All around him there’s the audience, playing their roles, dressed up in fancy clothes, looking through opera glasses, but so far away from the drama, from life. Back through the opera glass you see the pit and the pendulum drawn The music begins to take over. Columnated ruins domino. Empires, ideas, lives, institutions; everything has to fall, tumbling like dominoes. He begins to awaken to the music; sees the pretentiousness of everything. The music hall a costly bow. Then even the music is gone, turned into a trumpeter swan, into what the music really is. Canvas the town and brush the backdrop. He’s off in his vision, on a trip. Reality is gone; he’s creating it like a dream.
Dove-nested towers. Europe, a long time ago. The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne. The poor people in the cellar taverns, trying to make themselves happy by singing. Then there’s the parties, the drinking, trying to forget the wars, the battles at sea. While at port a do or die. Ships in the harbor, battling it out. A kind of Roman empire thing. A choke of grief. At his own sorrow and the emptiness of his life. because he can’t even cry for the suffering in the world, for his own suffering. And then, hope. Surf’s up! … Come about hard and join the once and often spring you gave. Go back to the kids, to the beach, to childhood. I heard the word of God; Wonderful thing; the joy of enlightenment, of seeing God. And what is it? A children’s song!
And then there’s the song itself; the song of children; the song of the universe rising and falling in wave after wave, the song of God, hiding the love from us, but always letting us find it again, like a mother singing to her children. …
>overdose on LSD
They'd be the world's first :^)
Op here, im a beatles fan, but is funny to imagine that situation
>Brian decides to leave The Beach Boys after the abuse by Capitol and Mike Love.
>Goes solo with Van Dyke Parks and Tony Asher.
>Releases a psychedelic pop masterpiece.
>Carl, Dennis, and Al join up with Brian and he willingly accepts them.
>Next album is even better, and now with strong vocal harmonies.
>Paul McCartney does a collab with Brian
>Brian still mentally deteriorates, but isn't put in the care of Landy, and is properly taken care of
>Mike Love is bitter and tried going solo, but fails.
You can't OD on acid, but you can take so much it will give you HPPD or permanent alter your personality. This happened to my friends brother. He isn't insane, he just has a different personality in a subtle way. Hard to explain but it wasn't for the best.
>The Zombies get fully recognized for the masterpiece that is Odyssey and Oracle
>people stop thinking the Beatles wrote decent music
honestly think the smile sessions version os so much better
>i hate the beatles and wish they all died lmao
Butt Boys fans stay being literally 16 years old
In a third alternate universe the mono version of Her Satanic Majesty's Request by The Rolling Stones is hailed as GOAT and both The Beatles and The Beach Boys disband and commit suicide w/o any fanfare.
b8
Beach Boys would go down as GOAT, but more importantly the overall quality of music in existence will increase because not as mny artists will abuse Sgt Peppers' studio wizardry to make shit music so the chances of stale shitty Rick Rubin production existing will be that much lower for example.
Paul > Brian >> John >>>>>> the rest of em
>tfw you will never hear the sequel to SMiLE in this universe with the Gothic cowboy trip theme/critique of american imperialism fully actualized
Imagine all of the money they would have had to immerse the album in that concept
