The Beatles. Handsdown!

The beach boys = cool.

Just fixed a bunch of broken Youtube links (mostly) early in my "contests."

Maybe someday I'll get around to actually finishing the contests. Post-1967 is difficult, hence the delay.

It is pretty tough, especially since quite a few of the songs (or at least especially notable ones) are from the Smile sessions.

Whatever appeal the Beach Boys have, whatever emotion their music has, I'm completely blind to it. They really are one of those bands I just don't get. So, yeah, Beatles. Hands down.

I did a whole days worth of listening to The Beach Boys, and I will say I used to think the same as you, but I actually really got into them, like big time. Definitely worth your time if you're willing to do it.

The Smile Sessions are my antidote for such silly ideas, but some people are more into Pet Sounds. Smiley Smile is pretty neat too if you want to hear a more stripped down, drugged out Beach Boys.

It is a pity.

Silly ideas? Come now, I didn't say they were sh*t, I said I'm blind to their qualities. And I am.

might as well have. but i was joking, those are my suggestions though if you haven't heard them.

I hope you checked out my "comparisons." (see link in sig)
