(McCartney was huge on Brian Wilson. He actually changed the way he played bass as a result of listening to Wilson play. I think Pet Sounds was the inspiration for Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.)Sorry to quote myself but I wanted to share this:
The Beatles' "Here, There And Everywhere" was inspired by this song. John Lennon and Paul McCartney heard Pet Sounds at a party and went back to Lennon's house to write it. Paul McCartney once called "God Only Knows" "The greatest song ever written."
