The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds


Listen Later

Mono vs Stereo. Pet Sounds vs Sergeant Pepper. Paul vs Brian. The Beach Boys vs The Beatles, Taylor Swift vs Jon... Wait, back up. The rivalry between The Beach Boys and The Beatles is well known. Some say The Rolling Stones vs The Beatles, but those people don't know wtf they're talking about. These two groups of boys turned megastar heartthrobs were pushing the boundaries of what was possible in recording technology and what singer/songwriters were allowed to sing about. From the beginning of their respective careers until The Beatles came out with "Rubber Soul", their musical paths were fairly similar. Brian Wilson heard Rubber Soul and knew he needed to up the ante for their next album. The next year, in 1966, The Beach Boys released "Pet Sounds". Although it remained in mono, this Beach Boys albums was on another level to The Beatles and, although they were already in the midst of recording Revolover, it already had signs of "Pet Sounds"'s influence, with the culmination of that admiration clear in "Sergeant Pepper". Unfortunately, The Beach Boys didn't enjoy the excitement and continued success that The Beatles had for three more albums, as Brian Wilson withdrew from his music career for a time due to strains on his mental health. "Pet Sounds" is easily the peak of The Beach Boys' musical and recording ability and remains one of Rock music's classics. Today, with the whole crew! Brad, Jon, Dave, and Jake Foster!!!
