It all comes down to personal opinion, frankly.
I've listened to the entirety of the Beach Boys songbook, and not a note of it speaks to me. For the Beatles, it's like the complete opposite. The Beach Boys seem eternally stuck in 60s normalcy, while the Beatles pushed forward. The Beatles were a lot more experimental with their music. The Beach Boys never seemed to escape their surfer poseur image. | ||

I loved the beach boys when they were in that Full House episode and all the girls got to come up on stage and dance with them, was so epic.

Don't know how you can consider Smile to be a Beach Boys album since it was the exact reason they split up.
Brian Wilson was a terrific songwriter (Pet Sounds is great), but he wanted to take the band in a progressive new direction while the rest of them wanted to play California Girls until the checks stopped coming in. | ||

The Beatles are one of the very few bands\acts ever that were really ALLOWED to experiment, to change their sound. Most folks that try to "evolve" are discarded once they step away from the sounds and stylings that made them popular.
With that said, I don't care for the Beach Boys, but there was indeed some musical genius in some of their later work. If you study it with an open mind, you can see it. IMO Beatles > Beach Boys, but I think I understand the heart of Susvain's argument. Comparing Dylan and Hendrix is difficult. They do different things musically. But I believe Dylan is on record as saying that the Jimi version of Watchtower is superior. Hard to find covers that surpass the original. | ||

Remember in high school when everyone thought their musical preferences could be defended with objectivity? And they would just keep talking and talking, thinking they were making convincing arguments, and the more they talked, the more you realized "This motherfucker really does not understand music."
Because if they did, they would listen to Zeppelin and The Clash. | ||
