Yeah I don't see how you could listen to Pet Sounds and say there was no Beatles influence at all except for the flow of the tracks. Pet Sounds took me a long time to appreciate or even like because I thought it was nothing more than a pop album the Rolling Stone had placed at number two for no reason but like the Beatles its completely unconventional pop, but the oddness is subtle and more in Brian Wilson's producing and arrangement as opposed to 5 minute plus sitar songs. Which isn't a knock at George Harrison or anything.
