Pet Sounds is pretty much a top 5 Pop album of all time in terms of quality songwriting and influence. Wouldn't It Be Nice and God Only Knows are both two of the top 100 songs of all time, which is pretty impressive. Probably in the top 50 as well if you broke it down that far. Good Vibrations makes the cut as well.

That said, I'm not that big on the Beach Boys. Wilson is a genius, although he's a mad one whose come up with he's own fair share of shitty material. Their early stuff is fun for what it is, but I kinda just get tired of their voices. I know people adore the beach boys and their harmonies but sometimes they sound like white square boy barbershop group and they just annoy the fuck out of me. WEEE WOOO AHHHH. Mike Love is also a big time tool.

I'm not gonna say they are the most overrated group of all time, because they aren't but they'd probably make my personal top 5. I love a good amount of their songs and while I'm amazed by Pet Sounds when i do listen to it, its not really an album that I love.

I really honestly recommend listening to the Smile sessions Cast. Really shows what a pioneer and perfectionist Wilson was in the studios - like being in the studio with them.

My respect for the man went up tenfold, but tinged with sadness knowing what seemed like a certified masterpiece was never completed.

Ah yes great recommendation matt. Back in 2011 Smile was released it really blew me away. Such a gorgeous record, and I love when the Beach Boys do their chamber pop thing. Its really really good as well. That Pet Sounds are pretty much the only two projects that I listen to regularly by the Beach Boys. I can appreciate Wilson's studio madness, hell that's probably the aspect I like the most about them, its just I'll probably never love the Beach Boys. That said I think I'll spin Surf's Up, what a beautiful song.

Noel is kinda vaginay for always putting down the Beach Boys. He "might" learn something from them. I also enjoy Dennis Wilson's solo album.

Pacific Ocean Blue is a brilliant album!

Shame he died so young and Brian went off it, leaving Mike Love to fuck everything up.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so.

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
