We kick off this double-sized, 4-part matchup with a track-by-track look at Wild Honey by The Beach Boys.

As we move from 1967 to 1968, we are combining two albums from the Boys-- Wild Honey and Friends-- to go up against The Beatles double LP, better known as The White Album.

We discuss every track of the LP version of Magical Mystery Tour, the only Capitol Records release canonized into the Beatles official discography.

And then we give our Final Judgment, picking our favorite from these two albums.

We close out the psychedelic eras of both bands with this matchup from 1967, kicking things off with a deep dive into Smiley Smile.

While the Beatles scramble for direction following the loss of their manager, the Beach Boys are trying to exorcise the demons of the failed Smile project.

It's a Matchup of Masterpieces!

After exploring Sgt. Pepper last episode, this time we dive deep into Brian Wilson's legendary Smile album, possibly the greatest lost album in rock history.

And then we each give our Final Judgments on which album we think is better!

We had the thrill of attending the IMAX livestream premiere of the new Beach Boy documentary on Tuesday (May 21st), three days before it debuts on Disney+.

So we decided to produce a quick reaction video to give everyone our spoiler-free general thoughts on what we saw and to let everyone know if we recommend it or not.

In the first half of this matchup, we explore every track on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club. Is this the Beatles' greatest album?

We are pitting this up against the greatest lost album in rock history, Smile by The Beach Boys. How great what was it? Does it have a chance? Find out in this incredible matchup of masterpieces.
