The Beach Boys

I think that The Beach Boys have a really smooth harmony, and it makes me feel pretty good when I hear them. Most of their songs sound pretty happy and very similar to a lot of Beatles songs. Their album pet sounds especially, sounded like the Beatles. This is because, Brian Wilson even says this in the video, that Rubber Soul blew his mind, he instantly felt competitive with The Beatles, and he made Pet Sounds, which was directly inspired by Rubber Soul. Pet Sounds in turn inspired Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band. The Beatles and The Beach Boys were very similar, and inspired each other constantly, all the while being very competitive with one another. In the video it also says that The Beatles were hooked on pet sounds, and they thought it was one of the best albums they've ever heard. But one thing that contradicts what I learned in class (nobody bought Pet Sounds) is that it also says that Pet Sounds was very popular, in fact it made #10 and was thought of as a classic.
