😺 Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. 🤨 Let's go, Brandon! 🤨 Try that in a small town.

No offense, but that's a dumb question. The Beatles obviously.

One time I got Pet Sounds to hear why it was an influence on Sgt. Pepper.
I had to get rid of it.
Too boring.

"Please vote to preserve the unique character of Warren…" - Robert Duvall

Pet Sounds is the worst album I've ever heard.

Are you a Fan of both "THE BEATLES" and "THE BEACH BOYS" ?

Pet Sounds is a brilliant album.

The composition of God Only Knows, during the end, when different members sing the "God Only Knows What I'd be Without You" in multiple polyphonic vocal melodies with to the same music, and it all blended together so effortlessly, so orchestral, was not common in pop radio music at that time, and the Beatles did nothing like it.

Monster, how should I feel? Creatures lie here, looking through the window.

multiple polyphonic vocal melodies

No one here believes you know what that means.

Monophonic is when there is ONE vocal or music melody but not both (Happy Birthday to You…). When we sing a song in our car, we're singing monophonic.

Homophonic is your typical song: One main melody supported by rhythm/instruments but that rhythm isn't a melody, only an accompaniment (chord progression).

Polyphonic is multiple melodies at one time:

-The end of Come on Eileen

-Feeling This by Blink 182

"Fate fell short this time"
"Are we Alone, can you feel it?"
Both are sung simultaneously (over the same accompaniment).

This starts off monophony, and at 1:48 the polyphony begins: Polyphonies don't have to be vocal; they can be instrumental too.

They didn't have to.
They did their own stuff that was awesome.

Why does it have to be one or the other? You're ruining my day.

Was this CHOSEN because BOTH start with B (if you take out The) and are followed by e and a? Bea, and started in the 60s?

"THAT'S SOME BAD SHIT, HARRY!".

Both are great in their own ways.
Personally, I'd still pick The Beatles.

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

The Beatles were like Elvis. They changed the world.
