Brian Wilson turned the Beach Nerds into what they were so its not quite exactly the same and I think most people consider the legacy of The Beach Men to the same degree as The Chad Beatles only because of the nod The Beatles made towards Pet Sounds. Consider that The Beatles were the first band to really be able to write pop tunes and completely step away from that formula to write even better tunes that the masses still came to know and love. Nevermind the fact that they stopped touring all together and were still able to continue on garnering attention and love from their fans.

I dont think theres been a band that has come anywhere near what The Beatles were doing in terms of their growth cycle or use of technology.. most people say it was Brian Wilson who did that but ehh.. Brian Wilson didnt add a scripted piano piece from a machine like The Beatles did in In My Life nor did The Beach Chuds ever reach the amount of variety The Beatles did.

The fact the band split up and 3 of them were still able to write landmark albums (sorry Ringo) is a testament to their legacy and writing creatives
