As many of you know, I used to really shit on The Beatles and their music, but I have changed my opinion on them since them. I think I still view them as more of a cultural phenomenon and voice of the counterculture than an awesome rock/pop band based solely on music- but, their music is really good. Really, really good.
I think it would be cool to compare them to their American counterpart, The Beach Boys. For the purpose of this thread, we are voting for which band's music we enjoy more, so things like cultural impact or whether Brian Wilson was cuter than Paul McCartney do not matter (looking right at you @broncosmitty).
Also, we are looking at their works solely as bands, so any of The Beatles' solo work's or Wilson's solo work also don't apply.
I am far from the most qualified to answer this, but I give a slight edge to The Beach Boys. Even after Wilson's decline, I still think they put out great music. And I like their catalog as a whole slightly more than that of The Beatles'.
What about you guys?
