Your Second Favorite Band Next to the Beachboys

[Paulos]

Weezer? More like

Seriously love Weezer though, I knew that Jonas is also a fan and it's good to see that we're not the only ones. It's also very interesting to see the wide range of tastes that people have outside of the Beach Boys.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

I like Weezer as well, but I'm just now getting into them.

[homeontherange]

I consider these to be the best, most original and most consistent bands of all time, and therefore also my favorites.

The Band
The Beatles
of Montreal
The Zombies
Dungen
Genesis ('70-'78)

[The Shift]

Sorry, Genesis were just a second-rate Marillion rip-off    

[SamMcK]

First place is Beatles/Beach Boys

Second place is Frank Sinatra/Elvis Presley


 

[hypehat]

speaking of the greatest singers of all-time, how in the hell did i forget RAY CHARLES?!!!!

Oh f***, I did too! Brb, spinning Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music for the rest of the day.

[SBonilla]

The Beatles are my 2nd fave.

In recent years, I  have been more interested in arrangers than performers:

Claus Ogerman - Al Capps - Jerry Gray - Nelson Riddle - Jack Nitzsche - Oliver Nelson - Jimmy Haskell - Burt Bacharach - Ferd Grofe - Fletcher Henderson - Neal Hefti - Henry Mancini - Charles Mingus - Gil Evans and on and on...

[Newguy562]

1. The Beatles
2. The  Beach Boys
3. The Rolling Stones
4. Michael Jackson
5. Marvin Gaye

[Paul J B]

The Cranberries.

Their second album, No Need To Argue. has a real feel and mood to it that I never get tired of just as I never get tired of Pet Sounds. They are also back together with a new album and tour coming up this year so it's a great time to be me.

Sorry, Genesis were just a second-rate Marillion rip-off    

I love Genesis, but it's tough to forgive 'em for letting Phil Collins solo career onto the world.

[NHC]

Particularly the original Marshall Tucker Band,  Asleep At The Wheel, Boz Scaggs, Young Rascals, Santana, Carole King (OK, she's not a band, I know), Creedence, Doors, at least some of it, Byrds, Beatles, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Paul Butterfield Blues Band when they existed, particularly with Mike Bloomfield . . . . . .  also enjoy Cal Tjader, Eddie Duran and the rest of the old 50's - 60's North Beach SF latin jazz scene, 40's big band, Stan Getz . . . . . roots country . . . . . . never really into the new stuff the last 20 years, but then I'm an old guy. In any event, it's the Beach Boys and then whatever else.

[Zach95]

Beatles, Radiohead, Animal Collective, the Doors, Floyd, and Arcade Fire are probably my favorites.  Also, Miles Davis. Love that guy.

I'm also a huge fan of The Association (who sang Beach Boys-esque songs), Frank Zappa, Genesis, Pink Floyd and Simon & Garfunkel.

[Newguy562]

Stone Temple Pilots & Radiohead are the best bands to come from the 90's, most people would say nirvana but i don't agree with that.
