Hate me, do it and do it again.
Yeah. The Beach Boys' high-point was like one album. The Stones' was from like 1966 - 1972.

Yes, exactly. Maybe if I weren't so goddamn passionate I could sum it up into two sentences as well. Although I have to say it's 1965 - 1973, cause you can't leave out the hugely successful, influential, and amazing '65 singles as well as Goats Head Soup and the Angie single in '73.

The Beach Boys high point was
Surfer Girl
All Summer Long
Today!
Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!!)
Pet Sounds
Wild Honey
Friends
Sunflower

But listening to The Beach Boys isn't cool, so no one knows about most of those albums.
My Beatles Trading Post (Updated Regularly)

"George had just come off tour, I'd flown in specially from England, Ringo had flown in specially, too, I think, and John wouldn't show up! He wouldn't come from across the park! George got on the phone, yelled, 'Take those fucking shades off and come over here, you!' John still wouldn't come over. He had a balloon delivered with a sign saying, LISTEN TO THIS BALLOON. It was all quite far out." -Paul McCartney

I don't know about The Beach Boys 'low point'. I've heard it's pretty bad, but I don't have their whole catalogue or anything so I can't say. I can say, however, that The Rolling Stones 'low point' is pretty fucking horrible ('80s stuff like Dirty Work).

But their high point was amazing. Most people think their 'high point' was the big four albums, but I disagree. For me, the Rolling Stones were at their best from when Out Of Our Heads was released in the US in '65 along with the singles in that year. Bill Wyman was even quoted as saying they were 'number one [as in, bigger than The Beatles] for a few months now' in England. This streak of albums:
Out Of Our Heads
Aftermath
Between The Buttons
Their Satanic Majesties
Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Exile On Main Street
Goats Head Soup

is, in my opinion, greater than 'the high point' of the Beach Boys. And overrall, considering everything, I believe The Rolling Stones are greater than the Beach Boys and second only to The Beatles in terms of bands.b

Well, I'm certainly not going to argue that the Beach Boys' suckiness is worse than the Stones' suckiness....if you want to take that point, it's yours.

I think I'd put the Stones after The Beatles, Beach Boys and dare I say it....Le....I dare not. At least not here and now.

I think I'd put the Stones after...The Beach Boys...

but you do realize this is purely subjective right? not many people would actually consider The Beach Boys to be greater, more influential, more important, etc. than The Rolling Stones.

oh yeah, stones were more important, definitely. the beach boys are up there in the rock hierarchy, but not in the same class as the stones.

top ten or fifteen is probably fair for the beach boys in terms of importance.
