The Beach Boys, with Pet Sounds in 1966. The Beatles admitted that Pet Sounds was a direct inspiration for Sgt. Pepper, while Beach Boys chief writer and producer Brian Wilson admitted that he was inspired by the Beatles' Rubber Soul.
It is known that The Beatles were in friendly competition with The Beach Boys. The Beatles' 1966 album 'Revolver' inspired The Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds' which in turn inspired The Beatles' 1967 album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.
Pet Sounds
Revolver. Regarded as one of the groups best albums, it has been constantly placed in the top ten "Greatest Albums" lists including; third in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (behind only Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?also by the Beatles and Pet Sounds?by The Beach Boys)?and first in the All-Time Top 1000 Albums.?
There are some that have been considered similar. The Monkees are often referred to as their American counterparts, and they even met each other once. The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys are others. Fun fact: The Beach Boys' album 'Pet Sounds' was inspired by The Beatles' 'Revolver' and in turn, 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' was inspired by 'Pet Sounds'.
In my opinion The Beach Boys have a more beachy sound (go figure), and The Beatles have more of an early pop sound.

John was a fan, especially of the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" album, but not to the same extent as Paul McCartney.
