The Beatles had four VERY creative people and Ringo. The Beach Boys had Brian Wilson. After the Mersey period, every Beatles single was different from the previous one. The Beach Boys did not have a George Martin as co-conspirator, but many of Brian Wilson's songs broke new ground. I remember being absolutely stunned by Heroes and Villains when it came out ... even if we did have to wait a couple of years for it. But overall ... The Beatles for sheer breadth, variety and energy.
Actually that is a little unfair on Ringo. He may not have been the composer that John, Paul or George may have been or the producer that George Martin was, but he actually redefined pop music drumming.
