I also don't get " Pet Sounds " ! It was totally ignored by Rolling Stone Magazine polls 20 years ago and now it appears as number 2 behind Sgt.Pepper ...always number one.....what's up with that !!!! I only like their singles from it - God Only Knows, Sloop John B (cover song -great vocals), and Wouldn't It Be Nice. The instrumental on this album "Let's Go Away for Awhile" is not good...2 minutes and 18 seconds of mediocrity...title should be "Let's Go Away Forever" !!!....lol lol.
I don't even bother looking at RS mag polls anymore after they placed Elton John/Leon Russell - Reunion as number 3 for the Best of 2010 ???? Two great artists but they didn't do anything on the album in unison and the songs were ordinary...bland album IMHO !
And to try to set the record straight, Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band are pop albums that appeal to the majority of music listeners...avant garde, experimental, jazz, classical, black metal, etc..on and on will never appeal to a large portion of the music listening consumer ! I love all genres but when I want to talk about metal, say Opeth or Agalloch, the informed circle of people is a lot smaller than those that would want to talk about POP star Lady GaGa !
I do not understand how anyone who professes to like all music in general can criticize The Beatles without any concrete reasons !!!!!???????...however keeping in the spirit of this great MD , I will accept all opinions from all members and of course like any human being we will all agree to diagree ! I respect the opinions of others but when I vehemently disagree with something I'm gonna say so ! It's just when people make sweeping blatant statements without some sort of reason or justification..... it ticks me off !!!!! It's like saying - Classical Music sucks !!!! period.
I am not a fan of Metallica and they basically rule the metal music world like Gods ! I know there are countless others but Metallica seem to be the most popular...appealing to most metal fans ! However having said that I still acknowledge their contribution to music history and I don't say they're crap and leave it like that !
A Day in a Life still gives me shivers or goosebumps when I hear the opening acoustic guitar !!!!!
Now let's have some FUN!!!!!
