i love pet sounds


demonrail was it you who had to endure cunty gillespie and twatty innes waffling on about the beach boys?

very true

im an elevator for sure :D

It was indeed. But the discussion was about Heroes and Villians, which I don't like that much. The fact is however that i was probably giving Mr Gillespie a good run for his money in the annoying stakes that night. I specifically remember being responsible for an extremely cringeworthy monologue regarding The Ronettes. Oh well, youth and all that.

haha

i would like to have witnessed that

I bought Pet Sounds for £2 because the CD was 'lightly marked'.

I love the beach boys, the lyrics are so happy but the music is so dark to me (even though that 99% of you wouldn't consider it so, infact consider it the opposite) but I find the sunny shit to be sarcastic in my head.

Smile is fucking awesome, and so is Pet Sounds.

Honest-to-god attempts were made to get into this stuff, but it didn't take.

I'm a huge Brian Wilson fan.
Beach Boys albums that deserve more attention are Surf's Up, Sunflower, and 20/20.

20/20 has the Manson tune on it, right?

For a band so highly regarded, it seems a shame that so much discussion centres on Pet Sounds, but ignores the late sixties-early seventies stuff like Holland, Landlocked and Surf's Up. I still believe that they're the only band at the time that ever came close to matching the sheer creativity of The Beatles'.

You thunder stealer you.

I've seen Smile and Pet Sounds (obviously just with the two living ones and a bunch of stand-ins) live, and the experiences were pretty similar. I prefer Pet Sounds, but I have respect for both.

sloop john B is the first song i can remember.
Sometimes i can't stomach them, sometimes i just loves them

thank christ for that two albums on one c.d of sunflower/surfs up, a life saver indeed. smiley smile i find to be superior to the recent smile and pet sounds is flawless and i worry about the state of the dna of anyone that could diss it. love all the surfy stuff particularly do it again which sports the most pant moistening use of drum machine i ever heard.

Can't Learn Not To Love You is listed as a Dennis Wilson song, but I've heard the Manson version. I'm pretty confident that it's a Manson song.

i just got dennis's 'pacific ocean blue' re-issue. i had never heard it before, and i can honestly say its really great. and MUCH better than 'smile' in my opinion. but i dont like 'smile'.

My buddies and me are getting real well known
Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone

absolute truth.

I've been thinking about getting this for my dad. He told me he used to have it on vinyl.
