Pet Sounds - Beach Boys

[slong]

I was watching that prog on Channel 4 on sun night (about the music hall of fame), and the general consensus was that this beach boys album is one of the best albums of all time.

I downloaded it and listen - is someone havin a laugh - or is it a 'grower'?

[steve56]

it was recorded in 1966 so i spose in a way they are right,when you think it was only 4 track recording and about a year before sgt pepper was released.

It pisses on Sgt Pepper as far as I'M concerned. Brian Wilson was a fucking genius at that time

[steve56]

yeah pepper was a letdown i bought it in 74 only really liked 2 tracks on it,the rest seemed very poor.

Electric Ladyland, Are You Experienced? now there's a couple of albums.

[steve56]

the orig cover of electric ladyland was pretty good too.

[Pervert]

Forever Changes, anyone? Definitely of its time, but some of it still sounds fresh and innovative today.

Pepper (A Day In The Life, apart) is probably the most over-rated album in history. Much as I like The Beatles, it doesn't belong in a list of their top five albums.

[steve56]

i agree with forever changes-love:what about electric music for the mind and body-country joe and the fish as well.

[Pervert]

Country Joe is a gap in my musical education, I'm afraid, Steve. Place in a file with Grateful Dead and Frank Zappa marked "must listen to one day."

[steve56]

they pair off very well i thought.
