That is sort of my take, although at some point I kind of finally burned out on The Beatles. Although I can still listen in moderation, I guess.

"Don't Worry Baby" is probably my favorite Beach Boys track, even before Carl Wilson died. I remember flipping on the oldies station (104 around Chicago) that Sunday while I ate a late breakfast and read the Sunday comics, and then two songs later, they play this while mentioning "you probably heard by now" etc. I hadn't been a Beach Boys fan for that long, but the band felt really gone after that, with two original members dead and Brian far from his former self. "God Only Knows" is right up there too, and Carl sung that.
But "A Day in the Life" is probably my favorite track period, I'm still amazed by it.

the best thing about The Beach Boys was their sweet Pendleton shirts

Did the Beatles ever team up with the Fat Boys? No? Case closed, I guess.

Did the Beatles ever let a tremendously coked up, vacation-wear Jimmy Page rend a hole in the fabric of space and time during a corny bar band version of "Lucille"?

I've never been a Beatles fan per se but they're still several orders of magnitude better than the Beach Boys, whose music I actively dislike save for 'God Only Knows' and 'Good Vibrations'. Everything else can perish in a fire.

But have u heard about a little place called Kokomo
― You Can't Have the Woogie Without a Little Boogie (Old Lunch), Friday, 9 April 2021 19:03 (two years ago) link
Pom do you know “til i die”?
― brimstead, Friday, 9 April 2021 19:04 (two years ago) link
it talks about falling onto rocks and ones soul being killed
― brimstead, Friday, 9 April 2021 19:05 (two years ago) link
'Kokomo' is hilarious, ergo I don't hate it.
I agree that 'Til I Die' is one of their finer moments.

So grateful to my parents and older sister that I could grow up in a household uncontaminated by the works of Paul McCartney.

Don't have an older sister but cosign.

One of my favorite and most underrated Beach Boys songs, in a depresso 'Til I Die' vein

xpost Yes, I will cosign as well. I heard a lot of 'oldies' growing up but weirdly didn't hear hardly any of the post-Help Beatles songs until I was an adult.

Almost certainly my favorite Love vocal.

I never thought "All I Wanna Do" was depressing, it's very nice but basically a 1964 ballad with some weird keyboards and phasing on the vocals.

In my more provocative moments, I might be inclined to say that Blondie Chaplin's tenure is my favorite BB era

That is an excellent song, and so much better than the two Fataar/Chaplin songs on Carl and the Passions, I'm surprised they came up with it.

I would go so far as to say that Holland contains the personal best songs of everyone in the group except Brian:
Dennis - SteamboatMike - Big SurAl - Beaks of EaglesCarl - The TraderBlondie/Ricky - Leaving This Town
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 9 April 2021 19:32 (two years ago) link
"Beaks of Eagles" is terrible though.

I love the recitations, and Charles Lloyd's flute.

Poetry recitation and flutes, I'll pass.

'Poetry Recitation and Flutes, I'll Pass' is my favorite Mike Love song.
