There are people on here who think the Beach Boys are better than The Beatles

>There are people on here who think the Beach Boys are better than The Beatles

That's because they are.

yeah, wouldn't it be nice...

God only knows I hate those people, op.

The fact is that one man, Brian Wilson, had more talent than The Beatles had as an entire group.

And what did he do with that talent? Spent 20 years dropping acid and cheeseburgers and letting Mike take the blame

He made two of the best albums of all time while his family and bandmates bullied him.

>there are people here who like the Beatles

Sure. Because they knew that shit wouldn't sell and needed money to survive

Paul McCartney>>>>>>Brian Wilson
Paul was a writer AND a virtuoso

there are people on here who legitimately think any album by either band is as good as odyssey and oracle

shut tup

>listening to The Beetles
>listening to The Bitch Boys

Glad the Beatles caved into management pressure to make every single song of theirs a potential single for the girls and even dictated their hair length until John got tired of it and got his dick out on an album cover

God Only Knows is the greatest pop track of all time tbqph.

SMiLE and Pet Sounds are better than anything The Beatles - individually or as a band - produced.

However, the rest of The Beach Boys material - even the good stuff (Sunflower, Surf's Up, Today! e.t.c.) - aren't as good as most of The Beatles' output.

i wonder if this ludicrous millennial fawning over the beach boys grounds itself in some sort of inferiority complex as the beatles' popularity keeps on chugging through the decades, showing no signs of stopping

like they can't handle that the most iconic bands of the period (beatles and the stones) came from britain while their nearest american equivalent the beach boys will be remembered as a group of grumpy old republicans perpetually stuck on the country fair circuit who are, outside of pet sounds, enjoyed ironically for their sheer corniness

their secret weapon is of course smile, the eternal woulda-been, which remains married to some rather creepy fetishization of brian wilson, his supposed genius and his mental illness (long overdue some examination; see also daniel johnston)

So why did he only make one good album? LOL

>muh faggy barbershop quartet muzak
I pity anyone that rates the beach soyboys

I don't think that either of them were particulary good
both vastly overrated

The Beach Boys' best songs absolutely destroy the Beatles' best songs, but the Beatles have a wider selection of good songs

>Revolution 9 is a potential single for girls

>The Beach Boys' best songs absolutely destroy the Beatles' best songs
the only thing they might destroy is each other's anuses or the enamel on the listener's teeth

>until John got tired of it and got his dick out on an album cover
>Revolution 9 is a potential single for girls

Do you even reading comprehend? Two Virgins came out in 1968, the same year The Beatles came out. Your shitty argument is flawed and retarded, just like your self

>t. normie taste faggot

Beach boys early songs were chuck berry style music but with really good harmonies

Their later songs have the really good “wall of sound” that Brian created.

Both, not just Pet sounds, are better than beatles garbage. Even mike love said the mop tops could never make that kind of music

Because his early albums were more single-oriented, but he made a ton of them. So he had a ton of good singles but the rest of the songs on them were mostly filler.

If Paul weren't a member than you would be right.

>pretends to be a fan
>doesn't even spell it right
KYS poser

The Beatles were more consistently good but Pet Sounds is better than anything they ever put out

I unironically like both equally.

>Brian Wilson created wall of sound
>caring about Mike Love's opinion on anything

/thread

Mike wasn’t bad, idiot boomers just blame him for everything wrong with the band

TRIPS.
DON'T.
LIE.

Mike was right in the fact that The Beach Boys are better than the Beatles and the stones, and other than Brian and maybe Carl he was the most productive beach boy

Beatles > Byrds > Beach Boys

You know that.

reminder that brian wilson was such a shitty writer and so emotionally stunted that he literally had to hire an ad man to write the hallmark tier lyrics to pet sounds

Brian was a composer, not a songwriter. Do some research before talking shit

reminder that brian wilson literally paid cool/influential people in the L.A. area to hang out with him during the making of smile in order to seem hip and shed his clean-cut image and to push his self-instigated "genius" label

The Beatles are way better than The Beach Boys. The Beach Boys never reached the point of The Beatles where each member had a distinctive sound, identity and contribution. The Beatles were being far more experimental, more unique and just as musically interesting as The Beach Boys, if not more, because The Beatles used rhythm much better than The Beach Boys while being just as interesting harmonically and melodically without needing to overlay thousands of tracks.
The Beatles didn't care about lyrics either.

Beatles: 8 great albums, 4 good ones in 7 years
Beach Boys: 4 great albums, 4 good ones in 50 years

Hmm yeah this is a tough one..

Beatles: make black people music
Beach Boys: create an entirely new genre

Hmm yeah this is a tough one..

>The Beatles didn't care about lyrics either.
really? i know that they're repeatedly denied any deep hidden meanings (and who can blame them), but that they didn't care at all seems a bit rich

in any case even the early beatles songs are far superior to any beach boys lyric, apart from the van dyke parks contributions on smile. everything else is kitsch

Beach boys made good singles, not albums. They made tons of albums, but they were mostly filler with some really visionary songs

Ok then

>Tommorow Never Knows is a single for girls

Early on they very much were selling out like crazy so early on they didn't care about lyrics. Around Help! to Revolver they started doing more introspective and storytelling lyrics, later switching to psychedelia before ending on the style they had of self-contained stories or surrealistic lyrics. And definitely, The Beatles were lyrically more interesting even during their Merseybeat days.

bump

lyrics > every other musical element

Paul McCartney > The other 3 Beatles combined > Brian Wilson > the other Beach Boys

You absolute moron.

lmao the absolute state of deluded wilsonfags

The Doors are better than both

this nigga woke
