Best Harmonies: The Beatles vs The Beach Boys

posted by stramming

This is the question that I am forced to face. The Beatles is, no question, the best band ever, right? Does that mean that the Fab Fours' harmonies are better than the Beach Boys? If you have ever heard the Beach Boys and The Beatles, you understand that this is a hard decision. Listen to The Beach Boys song Surfin' USA. In this fun-loving song, you can experience The Beach Boys and their harmonies. But listen to The Beatles song Love Me Do. This song helped promote The Beatles, along with their harmonies. And now the question... who has the best harmonies? We may never decide for sure. But it doesn't matter. The Beach Boys will continue spreading Good Vibrations and The Beatles will continue helping people Come Together.

megann1992 I'm a huge Beatles fan, but in my opinion, the Beach Boys have the Beatles beat when it comes to harmonies. Just take a listen to Surfer Girl. I honestly can't see the Beatles making that song as beautiful as the Beach Boys did. And then there's the cover that they did of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1aHyjVHrHA The Beach Boys' harmonies were top notch. Thank God Brian was obsessed with the Four Freshman, otherwise who knows if their music would have been as memorable without those harmonies?
