I somehow don't think the world was waiting with baited breath for the next Beach Boy's album. They were pop stars, but not cultural icons like the Beatles and were never as merchandised. Musically I believe the Beatles album for album made better ones then the Beach Boys. I realize that The Beach Boys made quite a few more then the Beatles, but I'd say you can count the good Beach Boy albums on one hand.

Still their hits collectively and the direction Brian was pulling the band into during the 60s has left a very strong mark on music. I think both bands are still very influential even to this day.

I think I'd need more than one hand to count the good Beach Boys albums, but I'd definitely only need one hand for the good Beatles albums.
