The thread doesn`t even have a poll, which might filter out some of the less informative posts ( apologies to newcomer Wqs ) :-



I think a mod with nothing to do should go through this thread and poll every post as a BB or Beatle vote - shouldn`t take more than about four hours.
Well I never intended that this thread would actually ever last as long as it has. It was done-in-a one hurry line because I was just asking for opinions as to what were some of the best personal opinions and the aspects listeners liked concerning each individual band at that particular time. I was not concerned about a poll count because the final result as to who would more than likely win the poll is common knowledge. (I knew that the Beach Boys would never win) Most would just push the vote button anyway without leaving any reply or explanation as to why they made their choice.

You kinda lost me there as to why "after 500 post we are not much the wiser"? And why the apology to newcomer Wqs? For my mistake at starting this thread improperly?

Why dont you go through the thread and collect all the votes cast in the thread Lisnaholic? After all, It was your ideal. I bet the Beatles win the majority of votes.

Yes, and please except all of my apologies for starting a thread that has somewhat become popular. Just when you think it is lost in the annals of obscurity some newbie bumps it back to the main page. I hope that you can forgive me?

Completely different styles. It is like comparing pears and apples. I like both.

The Beatles' body of work is far superior to The Beach Boys'...

I just got the Smile Sessions BOX SET so the Beatles can just suck it with their 2012 remasters.

[QUOTE=telepicker;864622]Yeah...

This is the ultimate no-brainer: Beatles, hands-down.

Sure, the Beach Boys had some good singles (and some good vibrations - sorry; couldn't resist) and even a couple really awesome LPs...but they can't touch the Beatles.

From a musical standpoint alone - I mean, Sgt. Pepper made Brian Wilson have a nervous breakdown...

He held steady in the bubblegum days, but when the sh*t got deep, Bri-Bri went to his sand box. And the Beach Boys were kaput.

I would put forth exhibit A Holland and B Surf's Up as two albums the Beatles could never have made. They are masterpieces in every sense of the word. Pepper is the only album that could come close for the progression from one point to another that the band represented there. If one takes "Let's Go Surfin" and then fast forwards to the song "Surfs Up " the proof is there!

Not to mention Brian Wilson is practically the reason Sgt. Peppers exists, and Smile blows it out of the water.

Surf's Up also has the most killer album art. I need to listen to Holland. And Smiley Smile is very out there, as well as being very mellow listening.

Yes you do need to listen to Holland! Their California Saga song is comprised of 3 different parts which is probably in my opinion the most satisfying song they ever recorded! Trader, Leaving This Town, Pretty Funky etc etc. This and Surf's Up is their crowning moment in their entire career which most people missed by then. The band had long fallen off the radar screen, but the harmony is breathless to listen to and the songs will blow you away.......
