  #5 The Beach Boys

  Another hard matchup for me in the 1960's. Cuntry-rock and roots-rock are my 2 favorite classic rock genres. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is some of the best history nerd lyrics in rock. Still...The Beach Boys are the greatest group of try hard, American, suburban whites of all time. I mean they sucked at playing, but boy could they sing.

  That's not the Beach Boys. HTH. Just like Styx without @Dennis_DeYoung is not Styx.
  
  The only Beach Boys that matter are 1962- 66. After that they collapsed into Brian Wilson's love of milkshakes and weed.

  THIS is the Beach Boys to my generation.
  
  Ergo, fuck the Beach Boys.
  
  Whatever talent they once had has long been obscured by eternal appearances at the Puyallup Fair.

  Can't disagree with you on the tarnishing of their reputation by Mike Love.

  The band is strictly for white people.
  
  If you made Pet Sounds you win. If you aren't smart enough to go figure out what Pet Sounds is... jump off a cliff.

  Dennis gets it. Good Vibrations was the best produced rock single up until that point in time- i.e., Oct. 1966. Better and more advance that anything the Stones or Beatles had yet accomplished.

  If loving weed and milkshakes is wrong, I don't want to be right.

  IMO, tilt goes to the Beach Boys. Besides, this song reminds me of Julie Christie in Shampoo.

  THE BAND HAS ONE FUCKING SONG. ONE FUCKING SONG.

  Put the Band's 2-5 songs up and let's see how this goes.

  WRONG. JUST FUCKING WRONG.
  
  Nearly every song of their first 2 records is great. Have listened to Chest Fever for Christ sake's? Garth Hudson was doing prog organ intros way before ELP and Yes. They did a kick ass version of Long Black Veil BEFORE Johnny Cash.

  "The Weight" is epic, amongst the GOAT in this genre.
  
  Debatable as too whether these are their best 2-5 songs, but I'm not getting the hate. I voted Beach Boys, but The Band is good chit to listen too when you're chilling.

  Me too. I don't even know who won the SRS championship last year.

  The good thing about the Band is when they did their farewell concert (the last waltz is good) they had enough balls and drugs to not do a reunion

  While I like their music the BB were a bunch of valley greasers who created a new image for marketing.
