Are you asking for a favorite? For me, depends on the mood I'm in. I've enjoyed life more because of both of them.

I will choose Beatles. The combination of those 4 was amazing and transformed pop music blah blah blah. To me the Beach Boys, while talented, did not have the depth of the Beatles.
But like food, music is temporary, enjoyable and ever-changing. Which is good 'cause I get bored. Except with the Beatles!

Yeah,

One of the greatest of all time. Listen to it regularly.

without a doubt The Beatles

"I told you 'bout Strawberry Fields,
You know the place where nothing is real,
Well, here's another place you can go,
Where ev'rything flows,
Looking through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half live,
Looking through the glass onion."

no doubt..another personal fave would be _Lick My Decals Off, Baby_ and let us not forget _Bongo Fury_ with Frank Zappa and the Mothers

Preferably the Stones...I always found the Beatles too tinny sounding (no bass in their songs), and while growing up in California would make it seem like the Beach Boys would win too, they were cool and fun, but just OK in my view.

Arizona Wayne · « **Reply #12 on:** March 13, 2017, 03:06:47 PM »

I liked the Beach Boys, and the Beatles for their different music, but also Simon & Garfunkle, Peter, Paul & Mary, and many other groups like the Bee Gees, etc. Lot of good music during the Vietnam war.

Lot better music then than now.....or am I just an old fart?

If this is one of those 'desert island and only one album' things, then the Beatles forever!

Ringo is my fave 'cos he's funny-looking like me!

oldbike54 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2017, 03:35:24 PM »

Not a "desert island" thing Chris , just a simple question to ponder on this unpleasant late Winter day .

Never got too see the Beatles live , very few did after they were the band that they became . Always thought of the Beach Boys as something different , but we attended a live show in Nacogdoches about 1980 on the campus . They had the entire concert hall up and dancing . So while they might have been a bit of fluff , they were fun live .

When I look at my record collection Beatles outnumber Beach Boys about 10 to 1.
BTW I did get to meet John and Paul during my stagehand years in the 70's, Paul was definitely the friendly one.

old head · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2017, 03:44:54 PM »

never bought any of either of these band's albums. Wife did, but not me.

I was not a top 40 guy, still not. Its okay, and admire the talent the Beatles had, well maybe, McCartney and Lennon. Beach boys are okay, but not something that I really care for.

SRV, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Pink Floyd, Creme, Mountain, Deep Purple, BB King and Asleep at the Wheel are some of my favorites.

very few groups, or types of music I won't listen to.
except maybe beiber, rap, or most disco.
this one's been stuck in my head lately.
unfortunately my talent only goes as far as listening.

OK Chris , Mike "Monk" Bruce or Michael Bruce ?

Darren Williams · « **Reply #22 on:** March 13, 2017, 04:30:46 PM »

I would say the Beatles because of the volume, the influence on others, and the shear change they ushered in. I do like the Beach Boys music, though.

Music is like candy. There are many different types and almost all is good, except you have to remember to throw out the wrappers.

Yes................ ..........On the original question....Just a song from early Beach Boys............... ....I prefer a more raw sound from early Stones and I like a lot of modern rock and even a little Noir hip hop.

If I was asked this question about 40 years ago I would definitely have answer but today... like jbell said, it depends on my mood.

The question is not fair in the first place, it is like asking what you prefer Beethoven or Mozart, or better yet Leonard Cohen or Vladimir Wysocki? I think it is very personal question and more often than not the answer will depend on your background, where you came from, etc.

oldbike54 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 13, 2017, 06:05:51 PM »

ryjan , the question would be unfair if we were asking from a purely objective standpoint, or passing judgement on the answers given . Instead , it is purely a subjective question , only designed to elicit opinions , and maybe generate some conversation .

Oh , and yes , taste in music is largely dependent on many factors . I was a fair enough horn player at one time , and trained enough to interpret different styles of music . Mostly the stuff that appeals to me comes from down deep , stemming from some sincere place in the creator . Bluegrass , some country , lots of blues and R&R , jazz , classical, Motown, even some hip hop can come from that place . The genre known as American music often times evokes that feeling , as can Folk .

Love both, but the Beatles edge out the beach Boys. Hmmm, was that minis or French bikinis?..these are deep philosophical questions, I'll do some more pondering and get back to you (although at my age I may forget).

Really liked Bluegrass in the day, Hedi West, and also the Greenbriar Boys were favorites.

Guzzistajohn · « **Reply #29 on:** March 13, 2017, 06:27:15 PM »

Beatles all the way. The melodic nature of their music is much greater than any band in our lifetime as far as I'm concerned. I wish more of today's "rock" bands would just try to get close to matching up to the levels of just John Lennon's melodies. Most of what I'm hearing today doesn't have much of a range and repeats itself over and over. Someone needs to lock these young whippersnappers in a room with Rubber Soul or The White Album for about a week, maybe they would get a clue.

Oh and GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN!
