 Topic: Album knockout from 1966: Pet Sounds or Revolver?
Posted: September 26 2017 at 09:12 |

Pet Sounds always makes me close my eyes and drift into another world. Revolver is a fun listen, but Pet Sounds puts me somewhere else. I like that. So Pet Sounds for me.

I absolutely adore bits and pieces off Pet Sounds but I think I respect the album more than I actually like it. I certainly don't play it very often. It also sounds terribly dated to these ears whereas Revolver remains fresh as ever - hell it could be a recent Tame Impala release.

Pet Sounds is good, mostly very good, but Revolver is a masterpiece.

I will never understand why so many people love The Beach Boys.
But that's just me.
Vote happily goes to Revolver!!!

If Tomorrow Never Knows came out today, it would still sound fresh and even progressive (in its truest sense).
Genius piece of music. Ringo totally smashes it (he didn't do it that often). The rest of Revolver is easily good enough to win this.

Well, I think they succeeded alright because Brian Wilson had a mental breakdown trying to match/outdo Revolver in his next album, Smile.

Revolver is a better collection of songs and a crucial transformation for them, but Pet Sounds is sublime and in certain ways more influential.

Revolver because it was a tactical warm-up for what came next. Pet Sounds is beautiful though.
