hey i'm a big fan of the Beach Boys as well. i grew up listening to all that music thanks to my papa. you do realize that one of their best albums, Pet Sounds, was done after one of the members was inspired by a Beatles album......guess the Beach Boys were fans too...
all i can say to all Beatles haters is- look at their enduring history. and the their timeless music. All the bands formed in an attempt to emulate them or be better than them, Cirque de Soleil has Love, the movie Across the Universe is all based around the music of The Beatles, now The Beatles Rock Band...hey...you don't have to like 'em...cause millions upon millions already do...so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
*lol*
Here is a interview that wired.com did with the creative director about the game:
Well it hit the stores today - anyone rushing out to get it (or already got it)? I would love to hear if its lived up to all that its suppose to be or was it a disappointment. Reviews anyone?
I got it at 12:01 at Wal Mart... Haven't touched it yet. Will update tonight.

My throat hurts..... My sister and I played and sang through all 42 tracks tonight, myself on vocals and her on lead guitar. That's the only downer I can think of... 4 hours of play time.... BUT! The replay value is through the roof. We plan on going through the whole game again, switching instraments, and then adding in bass and drums... Needless to say, we will be playing this for a long time. But I love singing Beatles tunes, and could do it all day.
The backgrounds were amazing. I found myself stopping singing at times just to admire the sun bursting in "Here Comes the Sun."
Most of the songs were easy to play and sing on hard. I had to drop to med a few times, for Helter Skelter, Revolution, Back in the USSR.... A few had vocal runs that went from way up high to down low in a few words, and I just couldn't grasp the runs.
The game is totally worth the $60. I already had all Guitar Hero band pieces, and they worked flawlessly with the Rock Band game. This is a must have for the entire family.
