Feh, more music about middle class white boy pain. I like his older stuff, but producers with computers fix all his shitty tracks these days.

Seriously though, it's often fraught with peril to try to compare two artists directly, especially across time, styles, and genres. For me, I just try to weigh how much enjoyment their respective catalogs have given me, and I've enjoyed the hell out of both Ben Folds and Beach Boys records. It's all good.
