The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds vs The Beatles' Revolver

Nah, the early stuff is great too. But I totally have Myopia about them so should shut the hell up. And for the record I love the Stones.

True. Perhaps I should have made it "Greatest Album of 1966". Blonde on Blonde, etc.

FOREVER CHANGES! There I said it!

While I'm at it, EASTER EVERYWHERE!

Or how about OTIS BLUE?!!!

In other words, we can have a lot of our own choices, but this is about two albums and someone wanting to know which one is better in the minds of MB members, which in my opinion share the same floor of super cool. The three albums I mentioned are more to my liking than either than them, but it's not about any of them.

In my mind, on the other hand, if those Beatles Stax sessions would have happened, who knows how much more of a monster things might have turned out.

Pet_Sounds is looking pretty lonely in this poll so far.

Ok maybe not.

Both are great albums so it's kind of hard to choose. I love within you without you and tomorrow never knows, so that gives Revolver the edge. It was also my first Beatles album.

I was expecting Revolver to win, but not by this much! I can see where you're all coming from, though. It's my favourite Beatles album. 1966 was a good year for music!

they cannot be compared in my opinion...lyrical and sonic approach and direction are completely different...
