The respected rivalry between these bands was awesome. 3 brilliant guys just chopping great songs. Thanks Brian, Paul, and John. You all made the world a better place
the look on Pauls face and the tone of his voice at 0:47 when he said "well alright, we gotta do better than that". Pet Sounds must have blown him away, makes me think he doesn't think he wasn't able to make a better album than Pet Sounds
The most important effect Pet Sounds had on the Beatles was that it taught them to retire from the distraction of live performances to focus on recordings.
Interesting comment- I guess by that point they knew their live performances were so perfected and had probably plateaued that they felt they had to prove their talents in the studio. If that was the case then mission accomplished!
It's seriously incredible to hear different members of bands talk about other incredible bands! 🤣👌 The Beatles rival The Rolling Stones- The Beach Boys rival them too, AND other groups at times. The Moody Blues rival everyone at times. WHEN you're a part of something incredible, I'm certain it gets surreal! LOL. It must be some kind of epic-permanence barrier being broken and most of EARTH takes notice. Consider this: Shakespeare wrote 'Romeo & Juliette' in *_1597!_* PEOPLE STILL: reference, randomly talk about AND still have that play done TODAY! That's f-ing +400 YEARS STILL and counting.🤯🤷🏻♂️
If you listen to The Beach Boys in 62' and listen to the Beatles in 62' you can hear which band 'borrowed' from the other. In terms of song structure, harmonies, and focusing on writing songs specifically for the LP format? the Beach Boys were the templet for the Beatles who had a wealth of talent with three excellent song writers and one fantastic producer in George Martin. The Beach Boys on the other hand had Brian Wilson who had to do everything himself (compose, produce and perform). In retrospect I think it would have been wise for the two groups to have merged and formed one mega-group that could have dominated popular music for decades. Kind of a white Motown that could have pumped out hits like the mother creature in Alien
What? It was the B side of "Wouldn't it be Nice" and it stalled at #39 on the charts. I know all you music snobs loved it but the fans sure as hell didn't.
@@user-db6pt7vr3lYou’re forgetting that Pet Sounds in general was horribly promoted by Capitol Records in the US, and many of the fans at the time were still expecting songs about surfing and cars.
@@user-db6pt7vr3lWhat are you talking about? It's progression is simply outstanding among popular music. It doesn't matter what the fans wanted. Calling something like Kokomo a better song just because it was more sucsessful is nonsense. Not to mention Beach Boys fans during the 70's changed their tune dramatically on Pet Sounds. To the point where recently God Only Knows has become one of their top 5 most popular songs. So your point on popularity is even more nonsense
McCartney is just a god of songwriting, a total genius and to hear him underline how awe inspiring WILSON was is great. The Beatles might have the edge with most people but for me it’ll always ALWAYS be The Beach Boys and that special glittery magic Brian dusted everything with. It was sonic sunshine. The Beatles were about the reality of sometimes grimy British life and I love them for it - my second favourite band - but when I heard the Beach Boys at age 6 (Good Vibrations on the radio) I was hooked. Transported to a different place, a world of possibilities. I’ve heard certain contemporary artists diss him recently, say it’s overrated. The people who say that might’ve written a good bunch of songs but now they’re just struggling to stay relevant and the only way they think they can do that is trashing others. They’re obviously very insecure. We’ll be humming California Girls and Wouldn’t it Be Nice long after that guy’s songs have vanished
It is clear that what Brian Wilson was going for with Pet Sounds was very heavily influenced by Phil Spector, which should not be forgotten (despite him going off the rails later). Listen to “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” by The Righteous Brothers (which came out in 1964), and you basically hear the blueprint for the production on Pet Sounds.
I think after Sgt. Peppers came out, Brian heard it and went to write and produce the SMiLE album, but unfortunately it got shelved in 1967 and we got 'Smiley Smile' instead. Thankfully Brian allowed "SMiLE" to sort-of be released with 2004's 'Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE', and we officially got "The Smile Sessions" as basically *THE* SMiLE Album.
nah, smile was in production way before peppers even started, summer of 66 into the spring of 67. Pepper was actually part of the reason brian stopped working on smile due to being overwhelmed by the project
Brian Wilson was writing smile way before sgt pepper. Good vibrations was oct 66 and smile began shortly after. The Beatles were following Brian at this point NOT the other way around. Good vibrations was # 1 vs the Beatles single yellow submarine which was # 2. It’s sad they never got the credit for creating that sound. The sound that the almighty Beatles *tried to recreate
1) Smile officially began production on February 17th, 1966 and Sgt. Pepper's was released on May 26th, 1967, so no. 2) The Smile Sessions is not Smile, it used Brian's 2004 album as a guide for the tracks, and even that album isn't Smile fully realized, Brian basically just took what was already recorded, filled in the missing lyrics, and turned it into one cohesive album that could be performed live relatively easily. We never ever got Brian's original vision fully realized.
@@antebellumstage It's their most fun album, no doubt. But you were saying that Pet sounds is better than Pepper, which is just not true. You can LIKE it better, of course, but while being quite interestingly arranged it sounds like some kind of unfinished work, like a collection of sketches. The songs on Pepper are much better, and the cover is a whole other story.
The Beach boys were actually one of if not the first group to popularize the multi-guitar, electric bass and Drum ensemble. Before them most groups were just singers with a backing band, or a singer playing guitar, or a singing group with a backing lead sax etc. The BBs made popular the whole act as singers as a unit playing their own string instruments and drums. Not saying it hadn't been done but they popularized it with hit after hit in the early 1960s. Soon other groups followed the same pattern.
I'm pretty sure The Crickets are the ones who popularized that rock band lineup. Not to mention the Beatles themselves predate the Beach Boys and used the same lineup.
@@fanofanimation4293 The BeachBoys were producing hit records before the Beatles. The BB started putting out hits around 61' or 62'. The Beatles in 64.
"Hey McCartney!" " I know you visit The Tube a lot and read these comments," "Do us music fans an incredible favor and get together with Brian and produce an album" "It doesn't have to be new material (altho you two probably have a pile stored away) it could be covers of each others material" "The album would be a MONSTER" "Us boomers and 2nd and 3rd generation fans of both of your bands would wolf it down by the millions"
in the Netflix BB doc, they talk about Mike went to UK with a pet sounds press and promoting it to radio stations and john and paul called him to hotel room saying “we want to listen to the new record” then after it was done Paul and John look at each other and say “wow what are we gonna do now?!”
Being a 70 year old, I grew up in my pre teen and teenage years listening to what is typically called classic rock. Played in bands as well and I like all kinds of music. I liked Beach Boys early on as well. But pop and rock music changed drastically when Beatles came about. Each new Beatles album was eagerly awaited by the majority of young people in US and much of the western world I suspect. This was not the case with The Beach Boys and their music never permeated culture in the way the Beatles music did. I still really liked a lot of the BBoys stuff after Beatles came around but they never put out albums with as many high quality songs as the Beatles. Very few people considered Pet Sounds a masterpiece when it came out. In fact it was a bit of a dud commercially I believe, although it’s stature has grown over the years. So maybe it is the best BB record for a variety of reasons but I don’t consider it on par with Sgt. Peppers and I personally think Revolver is better than SP. and maybe Abbey Road is as well. The white album is also very strong but with a couple of duds ( #9 e.g.). So the Beatles have many very strong albums, The Beach Boys, not so much, although they have a boatload of great songs.
I've never understood why people talk about which album was more anticipated by 'the culture' at the time, etc. -- as though that necessarily means anything as to the quality of the music. I have ears and a lifetime of musical experience (playing & appreciating) and don't need 1960's culture to tell me that the Beach Boys DID put out a slew of "high quality songs". I've assembled my own selective Spotify playlists for each group and the Beatles' list probably contains about ten more songs, but both were absolute high points in popular music, both with songs reaching the highest echelon.
Its a matter of taste. John Lennon himself said Sgt Pepper wasn't as well put together as Pet Sounds. There are a few skippers in Sgt Pepper for me. When I'm 64 and Fixing a Hole. Amazingly Pet Sounds was 1 year before Pepper! The Beatles had to quit touring to attempt something like that!
As 1 of the Biggest Beatles fans ever i have to admit that Pet Sounds is better then Sgt. Pepper... every song is perfect on PS and GPLHCB does have some weak tracks. I think Revolver, Abbey Road and the White album as good as PS tho.
Why do people have to fight in these comments? It’s a full on war between beatles fans and beach boy fans. Can’t we just acknowledge how they inspired each other to be better musicians? Or you can like neither of them, it doesn’t matter. People want to make a case for who is objectively better, and argue themselves into looking like an asshat. Music is something you connect to, or not. There’s no need to compare. There’s no need to shove your tastes down someone else’s throat and tell them that what they prefer is wrong.
The only person that ever had better PR than the Beatles (& forgive me, because I wouldn't even insult the Mop Tops to the extent of comparing them to her) is Taylor freaking Swift. She's the worst, yet you are absolutely over the top inundated with TS propaganda, constantly. Middle aged celebs are doing ads/promos gushing over her. Her Dad literally bought her contract. After she stuck the nail in the coffin that was my beloved Country Music, she literally bought a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame on her way out the door. The day they ever induct her will be the day I 💀
He did do Sgt Pepper, and artistically speaking - it was not better. But simultaneously, SMiLE (Brian's successor to Pet Sounds) could have theoretically dropped before Sgt Pepper and again, artistically speaking - there's just no competition. Pet Sounds was the unified vision of one individual, with one lyrical collaborator - the same formula with SMiLE - whereas, Sgt Peppers fails to achieve any thematic cohesion other than its production, which was handled by George Martin. I love The Beatles, and while The Beatles are greater The Beach Boys - Brian Wilson is greater than the sum of each part of The Beatles, if that makes sense? Basically, one man from Hawthorne CA was competing against a 5 man unit single handedly
Brian Wilson had the entire Wrecking Crew ensemble to work with, a professional lyricist in Tony Asher and infinitely more sophisticated recording equipment (16 tracks vs 4) not to mention he was exempt from hitting the road, which The Beatles were still doing up until after the release of Revolver
To say something u stammer put deep stress in your mind think a million did u say something right or wrong and here people want to tell u how they punched up everyone or going to do so
I love the Beatles but they don't hold a candle against Brian, sorry. Most of the Beatles stuff don't seem very personal, A Day in the life, Let it be, Julia, Here, There and Everywhere sticks out but most of the rest I agree with Lennon kind of blaha. Pet Sounds is from the heart all of the tracks except Sloop John B, that's what makes it so special. Brian was light years ahead and was already recording Sgt Pepper style album when rounding off Pet Sounds. He stopped when he heard the Sgt Pepper singles because he found it redundant to continue, they beat him to it but really didn't.
Haha Paul wishes. Pet sounds and smile Vs the formula that the Beatles had become. The Beach Boys were breaking their formula while the Beatles were slowly becoming one. Sgt peppers was great but it was almost like a collection of unrelated little diddies compared to Brian’s musical vision. Much less contrived and musically light years ahead of what the Beatles just decided to do last minute cuz Paul wanted to recreate pet sounds. I’m sure even John Lennon would agree. He didn’t like that much of sgt pepper mainly his own songs. He really didn’t like when I’m 64. Tripe compared to pet sounds good vibrations n smile
Way off base. The beatles from Revolver on were not formulaic. Thats ridiculous. Meanwhile, as good as pet sounds is, The Beach Boys completely fell apart after that and didn’t have another album on that level again.
@@lb2696 Pepper doesn’t hold a candle to Pet Sounds. While it might not follow a formula, it lacks the captivating chord changes and character that make Pet Sounds so compelling. The inclusion of Indian music with vocals and tracks like ‘When I’m 64’ fall flat. Lennon was right-his songs are the only ones that stand out as interesting. ‘Lovely Rita’ has amusing lyrics, and ‘A Day in the Life’ possesses a unique blend of emotion and magic, but the rest of the album is rather underwhelming.
@@lb2696Not really true. Other great albums such as Sunflower, Surfs up and friends. Yes I know there not as good as pet sounds but there is still the insanely good music writing in each song. But I do agree the beach boys did somewhat fall apart but don’t forget the Beatles broke up in 71 and the beach boys carried on until 98 when Carl Wilson died.
Sgt Peppers is far superior to Pet Sounds. One is the greatest album of all time and the other is an overrated piece of garbage. Beatles are always king!
I'm overall more of a Beatles fan than a Beach Boys fan but I do prefer Pet Sounds to Sgt Peppers. I love both albums and both bands though. I wonder how different the 60s music scene would've been if the beach Boy's Smile was fully realised
both the beatles and the beach boys revolutionized music, each one doing it in their own way, no band is better than another, it's stupid that people create this type of discussion when both bands respect each other, let's enjoy the music of both , since that's what it was done for, not to generate discussions

@@lb2696 Pepper doesn’t hold a candle to Pet Sounds. While it might not follow a formula, it lacks the captivating chord changes and character that make Pet Sounds so compelling. The inclusion of Indian music with vocals and tracks like ‘When I’m 64’ fall flat. Lennon was right-his songs are the only ones that stand out as interesting. ‘Lovely Rita’ has amusing lyrics, and ‘A Day in the Life’ possesses a unique blend of emotion and magic, but the rest of the album is rather underwhelming.
@@lb2696Not really true. Other great albums such as Sunflower, Surfs up and friends. Yes I know there not as good as pet sounds but there is still the insanely good music writing in each song. But I do agree the beach boys did somewhat fall apart but don’t forget the Beatles broke up in 71 and the beach boys carried on until 98 when Carl Wilson died.
When I'm 64 was a song written by Paul when he was 14, that song alone is about as iconic and universally known by just about everyone
Sgt Peppers is far superior to Pet Sounds. One is the greatest album of all time and the other is an overrated piece of garbage. Beatles are always king!
lmao
Pet Sounds is MUCH better than Sgt Peppers which is great, but it's not even the best Beatles album
Pet Sounds is incredibly emotional- garbage 🗑️? There's songs on that album that still make me cry 😢
Pet sounds is way better
Wrong
I'm overall more of a Beatles fan than a Beach Boys fan but I do prefer Pet Sounds to Sgt Peppers. I love both albums and both bands though. I wonder how different the 60s music scene would've been if the beach Boy's Smile was fully realised
Hahaha the Beatles will always be the favorite to normies but even the Beatles know they are 2nd to The Beach Boys... the Beatles suck lol
both the beatles and the beach boys revolutionized music, each one doing it in their own way, no band is better than another, it's stupid that people create this type of discussion when both bands respect each other, let's enjoy the music of both , since that's what it was done for, not to generate discussions
