if they broke up after pic related they would be better than the beatles. they tainted their own image by being "prolific". beatles >
>>60605541
Yes
Maybe if they'd broken up after SMiLE
I wish they broke up after Surf's Up to be honest.
It's all Mike Love's fault
>>60605564
maybe if SMiLE had been released at all

Beatles had 7-8 great albums. Amazing band, but let's not pretend that, like, Please Please Me is great.
>>60606350
white album?
>>60606378
Not great
>>60606358
Please Please Me is a fantastic album. Its amazing that they recorded it in 10 hours.
But if they broke up after Pet Sounds there would have been no SMiLE, Surf's Up or Love You
>>60606378
this
it's their best album by far
>inb4 filler
>>60606350
You forgot
>A Hard Day's Night
>Help!
>The Beatles (white album)
>Let It Be
And for what it's worth
>Ram
>Band On The Run
>Plastic Ono Band
>All Things Must Pass
are all better than almost all of your listed Beach Boys albums
>>60606390
>>60606390
there still is no smile
stop pretending it's finished
it's dead and nothing can save it
>>60606404
Those are okay albums. Let is be is trash, excluding Across the universe
Pacific Ocean Blue is better than any of those solo albums
>>60606432
>Let It Be is trash
One After 909 is the only lousy song on the whole album. Have you even listened to Let It Be Naked?
>>60606420
Fine.
There would have been no SMiLE Sessions released several decades after. Even if not finished, the album is still spectacular.
>>60606450
Why would being naked change my views on an album?
>>60605516
spoiler they wouldn't spoiler
>>60606388
Doesn't make up for the forgettable songwriting
>>60606660
nice post number
>>60606660
you do know half the songs are covers right? RIGHT>?
>>60606350
The only great albums in there are Pet Sounds, Smiley and the second half of Today
>>60606478
I wasn't even aware of Let It Be....Naked.
Thanks man gr8 trollin.
>>60606939
>second half of today
But Do You Wanna Dance, Don't Hurt My Little Sister and Help Me Rhonda are fantastic songs anon.
>>60606736
and the other half were bland original songs, the fact that it was recorded in ten hours is still a moot point though
>all these people forgetting about friends
most underrated release between the bbs and beatles
What all of you fags don't understand is that the 67-72 era is perfect and in some ways (in my opinion definitely) better than 66-67 era (i really mean post-smiley smile)
The later 70s period with 15 big ones, and especially Love You and Adult/Child but also including LA Light album is also wonderful
>>60607323
Friends is great but not the most underrated at all. Carl and the Passions is probably the most underrated from the 60s/70s time period
>>60606350
>no smiley smile, wild honey, friends, holland, etc
>>60606660
Oh fuck off, no. I Saw Her Standing There is canonical. Misery is a simple song but absolutely fucking great and beautifully executed. Ask Me Why could have been done better but it's a nice song. Please Please Me is canonical. Love Me Do is exceedingly simple but it's fine. Do You Want to Know a Secret is good. There's a Place is great.
It's not up to the consistency of the later era but they were already routinely hitting 10/10 levels on an individual song basis

>>60606358
everything before rubber soul was garbage. The albums were just great singles and a ot of shit filler
>>60607875
did elementary school let out early today what the fuck
>>60607875
Every Beatles album is great singles and mediocre filler, except Magical Mystery Tour
>>60607076
>not including When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)
come on
iljh
>>60605516
dude early beach boys are shit, save for handful of singles. early beatles are so much better
>>60607875
With the Beatles and A Hard Days Night are god tier 60s pop rock though.
>>60607875
A Hard Days Night and Help! are exceptions
