Being a lifelong Beach Boys fan~a~tic, I thought I would say hello everyone and offer this bit of news. In the list of "250 Albums that Define America's Musical Journey" I was very pleased to discover that Surf's Up came in at # 100 and after all these years,"Pet Sounds" is still coming it at #1.

The master, Brian Wilson would have been so proud, may he Rest in Peace.

And I love Sloop John B. Which was recorded because Al Jardine pretty much insisted. Brain did the arrangements and it was included on "Pet Sounds" Became a great hit.

Yesterday, it was 1yr ago that we lost the incredible Brian. He was a gentle, sweet man who shared his genius with us all. He provided the soundtrack to my life. I will always treasure the music +moments we shared. I thank you. And Brian,  you will always be missed. 💔

It is common knowledge that Brian and Mike had lots of trouble. Most of the people I know always preferred Brian. I was in a Yahoo group and those people worshiped Brian and likened him to a god. (If not God) I took great delight in shocking them with my first,"I love Mike" post!!! My favorite has always been Mike Love!

Paul McCartney has called The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds "the album of all time" and his "big album". He famously stated it "blew him out of the water," noting the record’s brilliant orchestration, vocal harmonies, and musical invention. He also called "God Only Knows" one of the most beautiful songs ever written and expressed that it directly inspired The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

I have to disagree with Paul McCartney about 'Pet Sounds'. I find it is highly overrated.
