I would say no because in their short peak time period, there wasn't as much

Who would you consider a better American band?

CCR?

I like CCR, but they have an even shorter timeline/catalog. Wish they had stayed

Beach Boys have got to be up there. Other contenders:

Brian's problem wasn't drugs as much as mental illness. He'd experienced auditory hallucinations since his mid-teens.

Woah. Meaning he would just hear voices?

TNT

May 23, 1:52pm

that's right

lightmann

How often is that attributed to heavy drug use?

TNT

May 23, 1:59pm

Don't know. Many people with AH's also have schizophrenia. My nephew was having AH's and we all thought he was

lightmann

May 23, 2:22pm

So pretty similar to A Beautiful Mind?

TNT

Hadn't thought of that. But - this nephew is a fine young man, but isn't what anyone would consider to be a genius.

Wouldn't it be nice if they were the GOAT.

If you are into them, you'd get a kick out of the movie Love & Mercy.

Good Vibrations is one of the best songs ever written.

I think they were the greatest band in their era. I prefer them to the Beatles.

Beach Boys had four #1 hits. The Beatles had - 20 - #1 hits.

lightmann

May 23, 2:15pm

Seems like 4 #1 hits beats even 100s of $1 hits. Whatever those are. TIC

They were very good and helped push others like the Beatles.

Yes, it's cool to read the history between them, both bands felt a rivalry,
