I forgot to add that the rest of the band really couldn’t write the songs that a somewhat clear-minded Brian could.

If you listen to the Beach Boys, listen to Pet Sounds. You’re best off with a compilation that’s in chronological order, such as the Good Vibrations box. Their first recordings were what they were: teens singing about surfing and girls. There’s nothing profound except the harmonies. It’s good pop.

Then Brian starts to mature and fall in love, and the music reflects it. The music is starts to mature. The harmonies are still great.

And then there’s Pet Sounds. Brian gave up touring and focused on recording. This was inspired by Rubber Soul and PS inspired Sgt. Pepper. The lyrics are so introspective.

Unfortunately, he then got into too many drugs and had a mental breakdown. Smile was supposedly a masterpiece, but hearing what’s there tells me it isn’t. He finally recorded it a few years ago with a new band, but to me it’s crap. It’s the songs of a guy who smoked too much dope and dropped too much acid (I guess). His writing partner thought he was something like Bob Dylan. The lyrics are a mess. Songs about vegetables and cows.

Yeah, I forgot about Van Halen. And that one’s weird, since Roth didn’t actually compose anything.

But Pink Floyd definitely. Since Barrett was only around for one record, they really weren’t set in any ways yet. Creatively, they were still before their prime.

As for the Beach Boys…. Maybe one day I’ll like them. I have to give their older stuff a closer listen, but the interest just isn’t there yet.

Love the line about Chicago! The same can be said about Van Halen. Maybe sucking is too strong, but definitely not the same.

Brian Wilson mentally checked out of the Beach Boys, and they took to sucking. They had an occasional hit, but really sucked.

Pink Floyd may be the biggest exception to this. They were better after Syd Barrett checked out.
