The Beach Boys

[sans culottes]

I just finished a torrent of Pet Sounds.

Gonna listen to it later. Busy listening to BOC.

Yeah, the beach boys are definently great and pet sounds certainly isn't remotely overrated.  At the time of its release, it got a bit of a cold review mainly because it was so different than the generic "car, sun and girl" forumula that made them so huge. The band itself, though, was basiacally a direct product of Brian wilson's twisted genius. The man had problems. Pet sounds was the intellectual release he needed; insanity followed.
   Plus, kokomo sucks and mike love is a grade "A" dick. Cheers!

I totally agree. Mike Love sucks, but Brian Wilson is the man.

Yeah. did you read his "self written biography"? I think a certain doctor landy may have "helped" him out a bit. It's a great read though.

Pet Sounds is one of the greatest albums of all time and Good Vibrations is one of the best singles of all time.

Everything else by them is very forgettable, but Pet Sounds can not get enough praise.

It got number two on Rolling Stone's top 500 albums list.

Sure it's one of the greatest... but not a top ten album.

And you are right about Good Vibrations. God I love that song. GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD VIBRATIONS

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

Yeah, I dont mind rolling stone per se, but Top lists are usually just a matter of opinion unless it's based off of sales or the such.

[Samus Aran]

Sure as hell got that right.

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

Sure as hell got that right.

Egh, well I'm not sure if you can necessarily go that far. They've got some very catchy stuff. Juvenile at times, but catchy and put together very well. Heroes and villians isn't bad..........

I can at least respect "I Get Around," but nothing else comes to mind at the moment that isn't on Pet Sounds.

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

Barbara Ann is okay, as is California Girls. I really don't like Fun, Fun, Fun very much. Surfin' USA is okay, I guess. I don't remember hearing the others.

I agree that they're catchy and well put together, theyw rote some great pop tunes, but they're nothing special.

Keith moon of the who always wanted to be a surf drummer so they did a cover of barbara ann in "the kids are alright" (dont know if you like the who or not) but I always thought this was funny.
