The Beach Boys is literally the most blatant rip-off of another band that has ever existed.
Same first five letters, same genre, became all """""spiritual""""" later on, even got the same fucking guru.

The Boys actually started as a NYDolls rip off.

By their first album, they were a full on punk version of the Beatles. They even covered I Call Your Name.

Dig deeper.

A lot of E6 stuff. All the E6 stuff that copies the beatles is the bad E6 stuff, imo.

But were better in the end, anyways

I've heard this before. I really prefer the album version.
>>66345945
This is the original version. All the early boys stuff was just a rip to capitalize on punk. That's why they went power pop, fast.

*The Boys version

The Hollywood Brats where the same band.
>>66345981
A couple of those guys were. Kid Reid wasn't in the Hollywood Brats, and I wanna say there were a few members of London SS that weren't in the Hollywood Brats in The Boys as well.
>>66346032
The members that stayed. kid was on off. The three main guys where brats.
>>66346100
Kid was the best member of the Boys. Imo made the band. I actually met him in person.
Radiohead
essentially every band with two guitar players and a bassist
>>66345536
I really really like The Raspberries, Big Star, Shoes, The Knack & The Nerves and never see any of them get talked about on /mu/. you seem like you know a lot about Beatlesque Power-pop, do you have any other suggestions based on liking any of the bands I listed, or should I just check out the ones on your list I haven't listened to yet (not a fan of cheap trick. Badfinger is ok.)
