Apples & Oranges

Def Dave Productions

A Comparison of the Discographies of The Beatles and The Beach Boys. We match albums up against each other in a 1v1 format, discuss every track then render our final judgments on which one is better. These two bands took similar paths through the 60s. Comparing and contrasting their history and output offers a fascinating look at both.

  • A must listen for Beach Boy or Beatles fan

    Loved this! Have been deep on the Beatles over the years and have recently discovered The Beach Boys post Pet Sounds work. This was such and enjoyable way to dive into both of their discographies!

    Thanks for the great work!

  • Great comparison podcast!

    What a great time listening to Dave and his son, Jackson, compare and contrast The Beach Boys albums to The Beatles albums. They tell the story behind each song and do a great job of transporting the listener back to the time the albums were released. Such a fun ride, I learned so much! I particularly enjoyed the team effort of a father and son working on this great project!

  • Good concept

    But mediocre audio quality. Dave sounds like he is in an empty garage on a speaker phone. Jackson slurs his speech fairly often.

  • Great Idea

    I enjoyed episode 1 very much and look forward to the rest of the series. This is a great concept for a show and I look forward to each match up. I think both bands got better later in the decade so I can’t wait to see which album takes on Pet Sounds.
