Brian Wilson heard Rubber Soul, which caused him to immediately write God Only Knows, and the Beach Boys’ next album, Pet Sounds.
Bruce Johnston, in the Beach Boys for less than a year, brought a prerelease copy of Pet Sounds to the Beatles to hear, they made him play it twice. Which begat Revolver.
Brian Wilson heard Revolver, and tried to answer with what later became Smile, but his cheese had already started sliding off the cracker by then. While the Beatles were just starting to peak with Revolver and then Sgt Pepper, Pet Sounds was the zenith of the Beach Boys’ creativity.
