I understand his point in trying to show that the Beach Boys musically were more interesting then the Beatles but he takes it a bit too far. Sure the Beatles had a lot more hype then they deserved but they were a wonderful group.

Comparing my two favorites from the 60's in one book would be interesting. But it clearly was a one-sided BB fan trying his best to overshadow The Beatles and in the end it's too biased and loses steam. I didn't even bother finishing it.

Could be nice for a change, as I have gone through my entire life with that bias going the other way. Is it still in print?
