    The Beatles may well have drawn inspiration from 'Pet Sounds', but I don't really hear any similarities.

    They are both about human relationships. With Pet Sounds the relationship is centred on adolescence and teenage years. With Sgt Pepper, the relationships are broaden out both in age and to family relations: 'With a Little Help from My Friends'; 'Lovely Rita'; 'She's Leaving Home', and 'When I'm Sixty Four' for example.

    But is this what we're talking about, the songs' subject matter? I was thinking more in terms of how the songs were structured, the instrumentation, the production techniques, things that might say to me "ah, they just copied 'Pet Sounds'".

    Edit: confession time - I don't own and have never played "Pet Sounds"! Although I do know some of the stuff on it. So feel free to shoot me down, I deserve it

    Brian Wilson said that hearing The Beatles Rubber Soul (1965) was what inspired him to make Pet Sounds (1966), which John and Paul raved about and went on to make Sgt Pepper (1967)
