You weren't made for this world of for these times ?

See what you did there :D

Doh - you're right, I remembered the lyric/title wrong.

ok, so you were quoting the song title, not talking about you (I was curious about that, not correcting a song title, lol) :)

They both likely are true.

I’d give the slightest of edges to Pet Sounds. But both (and all 3) are grand Pop statements for the ages which came back to back to back.

Why did I bring The Zombies into this? Hard to say. I’ll see myself out.

I'll buy that. I enjoy Odessey and Oracle more than Pet Sounds personally.

Same here.

Third that.

Peppers for me though.

That's a lot of people who love The Zombies. That album unfortunately never resonated with me, I'll have to relisten again.

Hmmm... I think they aren't really comparable albums. I mean I think they both are fantastic in their own ways.

As for effort/the genius of them musically, I think they are both comparable, or at least on the same level, whether you like them or not.

Pretty much sums up my feeling as well

Sgt Pepper's for its diversity and imagination. Pet Sounds is great too though...

Yeah, Odessey and Oracle might beat both. Smile beats both - the arrangements on that blow my mind in a way very few albums manage!

But for the question at hand - Pet Sounds. Pepper has some better individual songs (A Day in the Life being the prime example), but also some weaker ones. Pet Sounds is more emotionally resonant for the most part. I also feel like it relies less on studio trickery than Pepper; the genius of it is in the arrangements rather than the production. Not a knock on The Beatles, but my two favourites of theirs are White Album and Abbey Road, which are less "produced" imo, with more of a focus on writing witty, memorable arrangements within a "rock" format.

Interesting point. I think this is why I prefer Pet Sounds. It pushes conventional pop to its limit but remains completely pop and relatable. Sgt Pepper goes beyond this. It works for me as it's charming and imaginative, but I don't think it's as relatable as Pet Sounds.

And probably why I like Sgt. Pepper more. I never thought of it that way before.

I like discussions. They help unravel the things.

I do remember being in a pottery class and listening to Sgt. Pepper and Within You Without You comes on and this girl gives a dirty look and is all like, what is this crap! hahaha.

I listen to Sgt Pepper more, but Pet Sounds is the slightly better album, and a more singular achievement in emotional expression. Both are still among the most excellent pop albums of the '60s.

I would say that Revolver is much more comparable to Pet Sounds than Sgt Pepper.

Absolutely. I mean isn't the Brian Wilson quote, we were trying to do better than Rubber Soul?

Pet Sounds to Revolver, and Sgt Pepper to Smile?

But it's hardly a fair comparison. Wilson had a lot longer to work on Smile :D

Yup.

Totally made the same comparison earlier in the chain.

And Smiley Smile is pretty good, but not the masterpiece Smile became. To be fair, I'm not sure how long he actually worked on Smile. Was it something he constantly worked out in his mind, or did he trip on LSD for 30 years and then was like, oh yeah, I should probably finish that. (hyperbole of course).
