Comparing the BB and the Beatles is like comparing Andrea Bocelli and the sex pistols. 2 completely different music styles. I prefer the BB to the Beatles but that’s just personal taste.

I don’t think anyone is necessarily comparing them to each other directly , however it’s very well documented that each band had a strong influence on the other. 

edit; well, aye, PL is , but hey ho

So you're telling me there's not a valid comparison to be made but if you personally were to compare them you prefer the Beach Boys?

 

The Beatles didn't sound like the Stones, the Kinks, the BB's or anyone else tbh because after the first 3 albums the next 4 or 5 sounded completely different to one another ... the ramping up from rubber soul > revolver > Sgt Pepper is said the be the greatest progression in popular music. I think during that time the BB's only released Pet Sounds. You're right it doesn't sound like any of the Beatles record from round then. Am certainly not an expert on them but I don't think they altered their style too much if at all during the rest of the 60s? Not sure like, happy to be corrected on that.. suffice to say BB's and Beatles were very complimentary about each others' work..they and the others were definitely musical rivals..,

And the Sex Pistols could see, although listening to their musicianship that could be in doubt.

If you're complaining about the SP's musical ability you've sort of missed the point

Fair enough, but musical virtuosity was the opposite of what it was about. It was more "any fucker can do this, not just those cunts in Genesis'..

Yeah I know, I was there.

 

Saw the Stranglers in 77 or 78, they were supported by Penetration, Stranglers were ok (apart from all the gobbing) but Penetration, fuck me, the very epitome of shite. Absolutely the worst I have ever seen and I've seen UFO with Paul Chapman so off his face he was in severe danger of getting his head kicked in by Pete Way, even that abortion was better.

Everyone always mentions the songs from Pet Sounds but Surf’s Up has always been my favourite. Especially the Smile mix
