Both bands are simply outstanding, but I think you have to say The Beatles were better. I saw a documentary on The Making of Sergeant Pepper (which I highly recommend) and it talks about the influences both bands had on each other.

If there were no Sgt. Pepper there would be a Smile; at least that's my understanding. Smile was supposed to be a response to Revolver from how I've recently heard it. One of the last, crushing factors in Smile's demise was Paul MacCartney bringing over some tracks from Sgt. Pepper's during Smiley Smile recordings - namely, the Vega-Tables session wherein Paul chomped on a carrot for one of the song's percussive tracks.

Paul "guested" on "Vega-Tables" if there were no such competition to make "Smile" a better album than "Sgt. Pepper", it wouldn't have been a contributory effect on Brian's mental collapse |

As I've read it, it was pretty deep into Smile's demise/Smiley Smile's conception that Brian actually heard Sgt. Pepper. He may have known the album was in production, but he may not have known its content.

I remember hearing a Beatles vs Beachboys "Rock and Roll Music" competition on WLS radio station in the 70's. I voted Beatles, just because it was a bit "Heavier" to my ears, and I like "Heavier".
The Beatles - Rock & Roll Music - YouTube Rock and Roll Music- The Beach Boys - YouTube What say you?
