Hi Samcat. I can well understand people rating The Beach Boys in the same breath as The Beatles.....but never The Monkees. My fave Beach Boys song....In My Room. But I liked them all. Goodnight and I'll be back late tomorrow. Cheers. Sam.
Hello Sam. I understand where you are coming from and overall, I agree. It is just for a few short years, the Monkees outsold the Beatles. Unfortunately in the sales class, The Beach Boys did not come close to the Beatles, but I always felt they were right up with the Beatles musically and in many ways set the trends the Beatles followed. Cheers, Sam C.

Sam Catalino, there is no comparison about Beach Boys, Monkeys,..yes they had catchy songs but thats about it...The Beatles ushered in a new sound ,style, and thought wave. And the truth is that both these bands took heavily from The Beatles............

Mass post as I'm going out. Samcat The Beatles were trend setters....never followers. Christina (Harleyblues). I don't mind which path the thread goes down as it makes for a more interesting thread. It's all in good fun so let's treat it that way. They can't really be serious...right ?! Paulfan Don't get too bogged down with this `Monkee Biz. Sara (Starr). The above goes for you too, heh, heh. Tashi, Vinny, Lisa, Linda and Kathy (who's gone back into hiding). I've seen all your posts and they're good. Love, Cheers and hugs. Sam xxxx

The Beach Boys had nothing to do with Monkees either. Pet Sounds is a tremendous album. It inspired the Beatles to do Sgt. Pepper's to top it. God Only Knows was claimed for Paul as "the best love song of all time". If I was in 1966 and (I forget The Beatles' songs) I will agree with that.

Hello Vince, Well I could say the same about the Beatles. The new sound comes from various areas. I would agree that the Monkees took directly from the Beatles...Last Train to Clarksville was inspired by Paperback Writer. I do disagree with you about the Beach Boys taken anything heavily from the Beatles. The earliest rock and roll albums with orchestration come in with both Beggar's Banquet and Pet Sounds, both which predate Sgt. Pepper, so although some may consider the Beatles album at that time better, they certainly weren't setting any trends. Nor did they have anything that set the trend like Good Vibrations. Actually, the Beatles vocals borrowed heavily (initially) from the Everly Brothers, and I seldom heard the Beach Boys cover anything the Beatles originally did; however, I do see some (little, mind you) influence of the Beach Boys on the Beatles. There is no wrong answer here, but I must disagree with you about Brian Wilson borrowing anything from the Beatles.... Best, Sam C.

Sam, Sir Paul might disagree with you being that Pet Sounds inspired Pepper.... There is no doubt that the Beatles were at the lead of the British invasion of the USA in music, but trend setters...well that is very debatable. There were many times they followed the trends, they just made them popular. I can understand your views, being that you looked upon all of them as good friends and one thing I do respect about you Sam, is that you are very supportive of your friends. Were I in your position, I would feel the same. Best, Sam C.

I will say it again, while I like the Beach Boys, The Beatles were and are the best ever and they are the best there ever will be. They are still number one in the RIAA charts here in the US.

Hi, I think the opinion stll holds true. The thing is that Pet Sounds was very well received in England, in fact, I believe someone took a full page ad out in the newspapers praising this album over in England. Capitol did not support this change of the Beach Boys sound, and you have to wonder how Pet Sounds did as well as it did back in the USA. The Beach Boys were changing their sound in many ways in late 1965 and early in 1966. Good Vibrations sealed that change. Unfortunately, many people still look at the Beach Boys as just a surfing band.... Best, Sam C.

I understand that, but you can say (in an objective opinion) that they sold the most in the Band category, but to say they are the best ever is a subjective opinion and can be challenged and I just hope that many of you who love the Beatles (I love them too) are tolerant of many of us who feel that other bands were better. Like I said, no wrong answer to that one. Best, Sam C.
