I would say the Beatles are the gold standard, although Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released after (and in response to) Pet Sounds. Paul McCartney has always said Pet Sounds was one of his favorite records and inspired the Beatles to make Sgt Pepper's even better.
One friend tried to tell me that Pet Sounds was the Beach Boys answer to Sargent Pepper's so I went out and bought it. Some interesting ideas - but way, way short of the Beatles.
The Eagles - more white bread. No soul.
But I forgive you Lobido - I know you were a surf dude.
