VoodooChileInWOnderl Sorry, never liked them, my eldest sister Carmina had some 7" singles back in the 60s and I never could finish a side... those days my eldest brother had some great stuff nothing comprable to that soft, commercial pop

Anyway... Is there anything to start more than 40 years later?

Just curious how you would have rated Smile. If you've listened to Brain Wilson's Smile (which I'm sure you have)then that's how it would of sounded but with better harmonies & vocals if it had actually been completed and released during that TIME under a Beach Boys product name.




Brian's solo albums are worth a mention too...especially the self titled 'debut' that came out in 1988 and the follow up "Sweet Insanity", which unfortunately remains unreleased and is only available as a bootleg.

Both are better than any Beach Boys album since "Sunflower"

By the time of Sweet Insanity, the Landy influence was almost total, and there are a few cringe-inducing songs in there (eg. "Smart Girls" and "Brian.") Nearly all the lyrics were sort of self-help bollocks. Brian also did some good work with Andy Paley in the post-Landy era mid-90s that was never released

Apparently, theyre not

Looked it up and it seems Don was born in Kentucky, Phil two years later in Chicago and they grew up in Iowa.

texile you guys know your beach boys -
i'm just discovering their history...and was never an expert.
i bought a copy of endless summer on 8-track when i was about 14....and decided then that wouldn't it be nice was my favorite song of all time - it still is.
i've always loved the songs and thought of them as a good band,
but only recently have started to really appreciate them as artists.
and i love what pdog said about how they appeal to preppie types AND scuzzy rockers....very true.
my cousin, who came of age during the grunge era and idolizes nirvana and that ilk....
first fell in love with the beach boys and used god only knows in place of the wedding march at his wedding two years ago.

They ain't southern. They're yankees.

PROOF:



If they were southern (hence from Dixie) the title would've been TWO DICKS IN ENGLAND . . .

"Ferry Across the Mercy" is Gerry and the Pacemakers.

Dave Clark Five were pretty hard rock. "Any Way You Want It", "Glad All Over" and "Bits and Pieces" STOMP.

The Beach Boys, of course, were brilliant, all the way through the 60s.

Prodigal Son, I buy most of your ratings but I think that you underrate Smiley Smile ("Gettin' Hungry" is one of my fave later period Beach Boys tunes and way ahead of its time) slightly. And Beach Boys' Party is a TOTAL A+!
Yes, Dave Clarke 5 rocked, if you listen to Herman Hermits, Searchers, Peter & Gordon, Chad & Jermeny,who were completely pop, they really rocked, the lead singer sounded like a black artist, Mike Smith, listen to him sing "You got what it takes" he sounds like a black guy, I remember a cartoon about DC5 & Stones in early 60's, about how ugly the Stones were compared to DC5, in one of those magazines, I think it was Hit Parader, the Stones were very unpopular then, because everything was teenybopper.

Zambero The Beach Boys are the closest the U.S.A. has gotten to a band that approaches the Beatles in terms of sheer brilliance, not to mention classic songs that will be listened to for generations to come. As a complete performing and production unit, they were actually more self-contained than the Beatles were. Brian filled the roles that Lennon, McCartney, and George Martin did for The Beatles. That was part of his downfall. He was both ambitious, driven to the point of exhaustion, and at the same time fragile and ultimately devastated by his own chemical excess. I find it mind-boggling that he has somehow managed to make a credible comeback decades after being written off for good. I caught his "Smile" show in DC a few years back, and it was superb in every respect. His voice isn't quite what it used to be, but the excellence of the material and his top-notch band transcended any shortcomings. And he was communicative and even witty at times. Sure beats the Mike & Bruce show!

agree completely!
that's what i've been realizing lately...
the beach boys came before any of the great bands of the 60s - both american and british,
and they were singular in terms of thier innovations and originality.
they were writing, producing and perfroming their own material as a BAND in the age of pre-packaged pop.
they were the first great band in the rock age - period.
