The Beach Boys band leader Brian Wilson told the U.K. paper The Sun that he admits the band’s classic Pet Sounds album isn’t as good as The Beatles’ Rubber Soul. “It’s a good album, but not the best. I think The Beatles’ Rubber Soul is still the best album of all time.” Both albums are often considered by critics and fans to be two of the best albums ever. With Rubber Soul, The Beatles took a giant leap forward in pop music, making a truly artistic album from front to back. Brian Wilson took notice and has been said to have drawn inspiration from the Beatles’ classic when he wrote much of Pet Sounds. In a recent interview with BBC, Wilson even suggested it’s possible the surviving members of The Beach Boys could tour together again. “I’m considering it,” he told the BBC. “I don’t know yet, but I am considering it. Nothing’s really holding me back. I just don’t know if I want to be around those guys, you know? They’re zany guys. They’re crazy.”
