Revolver because it has Dr. Robert on it. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

I loooove Pet Sounds. ------------- "Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar." |

Revolver because it was a tactical warm-up for what came next. Pet Sounds is beautiful though. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Revolver. It simply is a better album and farther reaching than Pet Sounds. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Revolver is a better collection of songs and a crucial transformation for them, but Pet Sounds is sublime and in certain ways more influential. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

When the Beatles went into the studio to record Sgt. Pepper's they wanted to make an album as good as Pet Sounds. I don't think they quite succeeded. Although I listen to Revolver more often, my vote goes to the Beach Boys here. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Agreed. Revolver indeed is the better of both albums.

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

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. |

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

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. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

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. ------------- listen to streaming stuff! no commercials! http://wmom.servemp3.com:8000/listen.pls |
