anything but feel good

Evan Gonzalez
The Beatles did that five times.
Benjamin Turner
I think if pet sounds wasnt made the beach boys would be completely irrelevant.
Brian was the one who gave them some depth and still has people talking about them in 2017.
Leo Hall
>Unironically think that any of the Beatles albums is better than pet sounds
Joseph Mitchell
Old grandma's would still be singing surfer girl and fun fun fun
Those songs are eternal granny jams
Jaxon Taylor
Surf's Up and Smiley Smile are both better than Pet Sounds though. Maybe Sunflower as well.
Juan Peterson
beatles did 5 good albums ; beach boys made one great album and glimpses of another one which were also great
Jaxson Long
Sunflower is definately better than Pet Sounds. Every song in Sunflower practically invented a genre of music
Anthony Garcia
>he still thinks Pet Sounds is better than Smile
Jace Ward
Yeah and the Beach Boys made: Pet Sounds, Today!, Surf's Up, Sunflower, Love You, Smiley Smile and the Smile Sessions which are all great. Adding some other ones that were okay like Friends, 20/20 and Holland, they have the same amount of great albums than the Beatles, maybe a few more.
Adrian Campbell
>Thinking Pet Sounds it's better than Revolver, Ruber Soul, Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road, The White Album or A Hard Days Night
Hunter Anderson
Brian wilson is so good at pop music he makes self hating white hipster liberals break their cognitive dissonance enogue to realize that he is a genius
Zachary Campbell
it's easily better than all of those albums

i wonder what made brian use his falsetto so much
Thomas Price
An obsession with this group
youtube.com
There was nothing strange about using so much falsetto in the context of the vocal groups he would've grown up hearing. Any vocal group is gonna have the guy with the highest voice sing high a lot.

>abbey road
>sgt pepper
>revolver
>rubber soul
>white album
Brayden Wood
the four freshman didn't seem to use the falsetto as the melody though like brian did.
plus other groups do it to nowadays (tame impala)
Kayden Peterson
>the white album
fucking lmao.
but the other albums are good but nowhere close to either pet sounds or smile. good albums though
Jaxon Lewis
brian grew up listening to black pop and rock music, classical music, and the production of phil spector.
Which he combined to great effect by making the first art pop album and proving pop music can be more than garbage just for teenagers
Jaxson Robinson
It's sometimes hard not to laugh when listening to Sgt. Pepper's opening track. It's so straightforward, the guitar overdone for a mediocre riff, and the orchestra used in such a predictable marching band-esque manner. It makes me wonder what went wrong when the Beatles were trying to convert the inspiration from Pet Sounds into their own music.
She's Leaving Home, Getting Better, When I'm 64, and Lovely Rita are on the money though, so good job Paul.
Evan Sullivan
The Four Freshmen weren't writing pop songs with catchy hooks either.
youtube.com
This doesn't really prove my point, but is an example of their influence on him. Check out Girls On the Beach at 11:05. It sounds like it's going to be a straightforward ballad like Surfer Girl at first, until the last two chords of the opening sequence at 11:17. Then the key change(?) at 11:33 followed by several others throughout the track. To me, it sounds more like if The Four Freshmen had produced an arrangement of a rock ballad than something you'd expect from a surf/rock/pop group of the time to be putting out.
Angel Campbell
no they totally had a giant influence on him, i'm not disputing that.
i'm just saying the idea that the falsetto would take the melody seems like brian's idea
Henry Torres
this desu

I highly recommend this documentary, even though David Marks and Carol Kaye come across as retarded a lot of the time. I couldn't say whether they have a grasp of music theory or not, but they certainly don't come across as having such. More input from intelligent, coherent musicians would've been nice.
