"Ruby Tuesday"'s an awesome song. Otherwise it wouldn't have been a hit. And yeah, that's real mature, make a comment about Brian Jones "nanking his phelge". That definitely proves who the best musician is (thought we already know it's Jones). What do you have against Satanic Majesties? I think it's a great album. Yes, Jones and Wilson are completely different people, and Brian Jones is the superior type. Think of all the women he did. That right there proves it.

Why are you thinking about men "nanking their phelge", anyway? Why don't you go do that while you listen to the Beach Boys? Or get a blow-up doll and tape a picture of Brian Wilson to the head. That'll get rid of your Wilson urge. The only difference is that Wilson used a sheep, evident from the Pet Sounds cover.
Genius at work.

i kind of see that this is all a joke. you've been giving it away the whole time. i mean no one's that stupid, it's unreal. in case you didn't get it, my comments about the stones were making fun of your idiotic slanderings to show you that anybody can make up douchebag things about bands, but it doesn't mean anything. :sleep1:

Yeah you're right. Let's end this stupid argument. At first I though it was fun pretending that I hated Brian Wilson and that Brian Jones was the greatest, but then I realized that I wasn't pretending. No, just kidding. They're both talented guys and can't be compared to each other.

And I brought up Brian Jones' supposed bisexuality for nothing.

Sorry for causing the problem I just got caught up in the whole thing ever since I read Drummerboy's post with the scale of greatness and all that.

Screw this. That gay asshole Brian Wilson thinks he's all pimpin' but he's not. Brian Jones owns that mother.

"LONG LIVE BRIAN JONES!"

"Sir, Brian Jones died in 1969."

"Screw you faggot! You're just jealous!"

Nobody can accept your oppinion when you sit here and call the opposition a 'gay asshole'. Nobody likes trolls.

He's already admitted that he was just messing around. Now I guess he got bored again and thought he'd try to reignite the fire. I don't think anyone's going to bite though....

Edit: Unless he's trying to give some sort of a recap of the events that happened. :huh: I don't know. If that's the case, sorry for the presumption SmokeyBandit.

Yankee's absolutely right. I did already admit that Wilson's okay. I was just joking now about trying to start up the argument again. That's all.

The thing that got to me about this topic was that at one point it turned into 'Which 1966 album was more influential, Pet Sounds or Aftermath?'. It was putting The Stones into the same group as The Beach Boys (the group with only one critically acclaimed huge influential album), when we're talking about the fucking Rolling Stones here. Over 300 million records sold, not counting singles. C'mon, these guys are just a lot bigger than the Beach Boys, and it isn't fair to only compare one of The Stones records to the Beach Boys records and say that because that one Beach boy record is more influential than that one Stones record, Beach Boys (or Wilson) were better than early Stones.

That's bullshit, and here's why:
England's Hitmakers, The Stones, Now!, Out Of Our Heads, Aftermath, Flowers, Between The Buttons, Their Satanic Majesties Request, and Beggars Banquet, and all have at least a couple of songs with huge contributions from Jones that has been a major influence for many artists. I guess Pet Sounds destroys all of that, right?

Oh yeah, and one more thing. Everyone always says Pet Sounds hugely influenced Pepper, but I challenge you:

Listen to Pet Sounds. Now listen to Sgt. Pepper.

Listen to Between The Buttons. Now listen to Sgt. Pepper.

Hear anything eye-opening?

Thought so.

It's not just Pet Sounds though. Pet Sounds is the only album that gets recognized by the modern media, because it's the first Beach Boys album that contains no trace of the Beach Boys' earlier subject matters. They, like the Stones, do have other very important records that have gotten buried by the Pet Sounds hooplah, the most notable being All Summer Long and The Beach Boys Today! and, to a lesser extent, Surfer Girl and Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!!). Because The Beach Boys' haven't really contributed to the lyrical landscape of music following their success, it's harder to pick up on their influences, since it's more subtle although equally important (harmonies, composition, etc.)

The defense of record sales also needs to be applied to The Beach Boys.....The Rolling Stones produced real, top-notch albums throughout the '80s, whereas The Beach Boys' declined rapidly after Pet Sounds, and came to a total stand-still after 1973's Holland. This allowed the Stones to rack up sales from then on out (and they continue to rack up sales with each album they've put out since Tattoo You, despite a decline.) So the fact that The Rolling Stones have sold more is a little harder to swallow since they've been around a lot longer and have released a lot more music.

On a side note: though admittedly not having owned Between The Buttons for too long now, I will say that when Paul McCartney and George Martin openly admit that Sgt. Pepper was a response to Pet Sounds (I know, it's been said over and over but needs to be applied), and neither have made public statements regarding Between The Buttons and Pepper, I have to take their word for it since they made the album, and say that Pet Sounds was more influential on Pepper.
