It looks like he was actually born in 1961... so... I was born in 1986 - it doesn't take living through it to appreciate superb musical ability. |

Good song to test the headphones with. If your hair doesn't stand up on end (in a good or bad way) then they're broken.

Yes, a rare 10. Amazing song. This was Prog-Rock foreshadowing.

Instead, listen to Brian Wilson's SMiLE album, and it wraps up with this - performed by a group of folks who are obviously in love with the original, and intent on performing it identically.
You can hear that affection - and it benefits from the distance between release and this performance. It's smoother, gentler, and more powerful.
A truly wonderful thing.
I'd love to hear that version. Maybe you could try uploading it. |

The most enfluentual album in the last half of the 20th century...if not all time! The ultimate TEN! Rolling Stone has Pet Sound at number two of all time with Sgt. Pepper as number one, but Sgt. pepper would not have happened, if it had not been for Pet Sound...
McCartney: "It was Pet Sounds that blew me out of the water. I love the album so much. I've just bought my kids each a copy of it for their education in life ... I figure no one is educated musically 'til they've heard that album ... I love the orchestra, the arrangements ... it may be going overboard to say it's the classic of the century ... but to me, it certainly is a total, classic record that is unbeatable in many ways ... I've often played Pet Sounds and cried. I played it to John so much that it would be difficult for him to escape the influence ... it was the record of the time."
Beatles producer George Martin: "Without Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper wouldn't have happened... Pepper was an attempt to equal Pet Sounds."
Clapton: "I consider Pet Sounds to be one of the greatest pop LPs to ever be released. It encompasses everything that's ever knocked me out and rolled it all into one."
Elton: "For me to say that I was enthralled would be an understatement. I had never heard such magical sounds, so amazingly recorded. It undoubtedly changed the way that I, and countless others, approached recording. It is a timeless and amazing recording of incredible genius and beauty."
Dylan: On Brian Wilson's talents, "That ear - I mean, Jesus, he's got to will that to the Smithsonian."
One last odd fact, the album featured a session guitar player by the name of Glen Campbell (country singer).
I saw the Beach Boys on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, NJ, USA in the late 60's...I'll never forget it!

Good question! This is one of the greatest pop songs every recorded. It should have Beatles type ratings.  |

This song isn't actually on Pet Sounds. From AllMusic.com:
"The Beach Boys' next single, "Good Vibrations," had originally been written for the Pet Sounds sessions, though Brian removed it from the song list to give himself more time for production. He resumed working on it after the completion of Pet Sounds, eventually devoting up to six months (and three different studios) on the single. Released in October 1966, "Good Vibrations" capped off the year as the group's third number one single and still stands as one of the best singles of all time." |

That's like saying you don't understand sunrise at the beach, or wind in the pines, or the call of a Whip'or Will in the pre-dawn hours of spring. |
