Thread 126956579

is God Only Knows the greatest song of all time?

A contender for one of the greatest pop songs of all time for sure. What else is up there?

It's fine.

just listened to it and Im thoroughly unimpressed.

its not even the best song on that record

good pop tune but its a bit schmaltzy to be honest. and theres not much interesting going on musically, its just pleasant backing for the vocal melodies. which is fine for a 3 minute pop song, but makes it a hell of a stretch to call it goat

>>126956697
You have no sovl. Must suck.

>>126956579 (OP)
The bb so much stuff that could be up there

It's only impressive to retards who have no reference point beyond top 40.

>boomer uncle links me the isolated vocals
>hypes up how genius it is
>agree that its great
>link him 'Til I Die
>he instantly dismisses it and just says "they got weird later on"

>>126956745
There's not much going on musically on the entirety of pet sounds is the problem. Sure there's some ambiance to it but it's nothing THAT IMPRESSIVE especially not with what was being released at the same time. But it's dumbed down and soulless in a way where it's accessible to "cool teens" (now morbidly obese and with an extension knowledge of anime heroes) on platforms like TikTok aswell as appealing to le chudjaks because Beach Boys man was le conservative or whatever. But musically it's completely shallow. Also serves as sort of a zoomerified dumbed down simplified understanding of the past probably idk. It's not a very interesting album though. Barely anything to talk about.

>>126958499
What exactly do you disagree with in that post, and why? I think its a pretty fair assessment. Its not even particularly critical.

>>126958615
He's right. They weren't meant to be a psych band.

>>126958640
>and theres not much interesting going on musically, its just pleasant backing for the vocal melodies
this is plain false, so completely stupid that i don't know what to say

>>126956579 (OP)
Perhaps. I certainly have no problem with people claiming it to be.

I take pride in the fact that I have never listened to a Beach Boys song

Not even their best song

>>126959477
They are a very weird band. Basically copied their whole vocal style from The Four Freshmen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr460E9I4UQ
I'd encourage you to try some of the instrumental mixes that exist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RypKTz1Kmpg

Where did Brian learn all those jazzy chords?

>>126959579
No clue, but I think he had that special kind of autism where he could stack sounds in his mind and hear a breadth and depth of harmony that most people struggle to. And/or he just was a good musician with good taste

>>126956579 (OP)
I think Caroline No might be the best song on the album

>>126959936
Have you heard this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RypKTz1Kmpg

For me it's the besrt song ever, that one or Yesterday, I can't decide.

>>126959182
Lmao you have no counter argument because I'm right.
>>126959640
He wasn't smart he was an actual retard and you like it because it's all written on the level of a 5 year old lol. VU and Hendrix are both in fact better. For the millionth time so are love and can and wcepab and many others. More important aswell. I get this is a desperate failed attempt to recreate the 2010s "hipster fad" in modern context for a generation where being retarded and not actually knowing anything are more seen as cool again but the influence here it mostly imagined as is the tallent tbqh.

Are you nico tranny?

>>126958632
People in real life: hey man how's it going

Pet Sounds retards are the musical equivalent to the retards who need to pretend NGE is high art. You cannot disprove this.

>>126963946
You don't interact with people in real life lol. They would say the same thing because it's in fact generic filler. You've also never had sex and probably have regular meltdowns. Pretending to be obsessed with random 60s boybands will not make you seem normal to the outside world either. You will seem like a child in a man's body.

>>126963930
It's been this long and you still haven't learned to put a space after commas?

>>126963946
People in real life treat you like a child because you can't take care of yourself and probably smell like absolute dogshit. Just being real here.

>>126963930
You are definitely nico tranny. We thought you were dead.

>>126963976
Say something that's actually related to what I actually just said. You won't because you know I'm right. You only care about Bryan Willson because he made you feel less pathetic. The music isn't remotely good. It doesn't hold up.

Nico do you like Olivia Tremor Control?

>>126963992
Yeah that was you being spastic and having no concept of reality. Same reason you pretend to like Zappa and pretend to like Pet Sounds if we're being realistic. It makes you feel like you're included so probably people pretend to humor you.

>>126964015
No real opinion.

>>126963972
>You've also never had sex and probably have regular meltdowns
I know for sure you don't get any from your made up girlfriend nigga. Maybe you gave head to your friend you say is black.
>>126964005
I don't even listen to the Beach Boys often God Only Knows is a beautiful song. That you think there's "not much going on" only proves you know nothing about music. It's filled to the brim with odd chord changes and chromaticism, and does so beautifully and subtly without being flashy and in your face to appeal to retards like you who think ELP and their car crash key changes are the greatest achievement of western art.
>You only care about Bryan Willson because he made you feel less pathetic.
What does this even mean? Why is everything you say backed with some bizarrely assumption?

>>126959579
He liked Gershwin and a few other jazz musicians, he also appreciated modern classical composers like Béla Bartók and Pierce Aldridge.

>>126956594
Strawberry Fields (if it even counts as pop) and Dancing Queen. Easy top 10 entries along with God Only Knows.

>>126963925
It's a very fun song, but definitely not top 10 of all time. Maybe top 10 of the 2010s, since the pickings are already slim with that decade.

>>126963905
>He wasn't smart he was an actual retard
They said he had brains but they weren't doing him any good

>>126956579 (OP)
it's really good but i like what's going on by marvin gaye.
>>126956697
try listening to the vocal harmonies isolated. if you don't get it then i can't help you

>>126958640
no key center, stacked harmonies, poly rhythm, actually decent lyrics, some parts of the song never resolve, layered instruments. saying there is nothing interesting in the song and that it's pretty normal for the era of music has got to be one of the most retarded things you can say about music. if you don't like it that's fine

>>126965389
>it gets better if you remove 80% of the song

shit song

>>126965143
That's often how it feels when you're on psychedelics desu. Cannot blame him from that haha. Glad I don't do those anymore although I love my weed and liquor. Hard when you loose that grounded feeling though.
>>126964182
>"made up girlfriend"

Haha lol ok cope

>"le beautiful"

It's OK. The time is today by The Association does the same "beauty" better as does Forever Changes by Love and Triangle by The Beau Brummels,which I can safely assume you've never heard any of.

>"Maybe you gave head to your friend you say is black."

He's an Islander. I think it would be hard to miss that he's black. Do you just not believe black people exist? Not sure I understand the tension you have around this. If you were just saying I had an imaginary girlfriend sure but this added onto it makes it sound like a you problem and a mental health one at that. He's one of like 10,0000 carribean dudes in mass. I'm not really sure why it's so hard to imagine I know a singular black guy,alongside the imaginary girlfriend thing though Def schizophrenia or something. Or maybe you're just retarded and imagining patterns that will make you sound smarter. That would certainly explain the Zappa and beefhesrt thing. Maybe you can go suck off whatever living members of those bands are left instead? Seems pretty homoerotic to me.

>>126964182
>"hanges and chromaticism, and does so beautifully and subtly without being flashy and in your face to appeal to retards like you who think ELP and their car crash key changes are the greatest achievement of western art."

The Velvet Underground do this infinity better and also we're far more influential. Most people know The Beach Boys were basically a one hit wonder who awkwardly failed to transition. I don't doubt you're too big of a spastic for actual defining high art pieces and that you read a lot of right wing conspiracy articles though sure. But you and most other Beach Boys Fans are just too retarded for anything with any sense of build up or texture. The Dead did the same thing but could actually songwrite. You probably think that the shit that plays at wall mart is a sign of profound western beauty aswell. You're too retarded to appreciate something that you would claim would actually appear to you and only like skibbidi flashy novelty shit hence you hating The Velvet Underground who actually refined the format and greatly streamlined rock permanently. You prefer the beach Boys and Beatles over them because they're easier to comprehend. I would also say the same for NEU!,but as for ELP themselves you don't truly know why you hate them. You just hate them because a critic told you to. Same with all your other "opinions",probably never even actually listened to them.

>>126963905
You type like a stupid idiot

Its textures mall soft shit though. If you meant easy listening sure. Your ideas of "objective beauty" that you think you have (someone else's idea aswell btw) were probably all done better by The Moody Blues or Cream,but gonna assume you blindly hate those aswell. Yet you'll still accuse me of being contrarian. If anything it's more tacky than beautiful. Sing Swan Song meets "objective beauty" standards in western art if you actually understood them better even aswell as does give me coffee or tea,paperhouse,and deadlock. What you actually mean is no texture or anything that isn't smooth for your little retard brain to process. I don't need to pretend to hate elp because I'm not a gigavirgin like you are. It's all fucking noise. You've never even listened to them to begin with.

>>126965436
i was trying to dumb it down for you since you're a little slow

>>126965539
You can't form a cohesive thought like a "stupid idiot",you can't refute this because I'm right and you're probably having a fucking meltdown as we speak. You like Pet Sounds because it's dumbed down and non challenging. It's not beautiful at all. It sounds like a tasteless aging strip mall with semen and vomit splattered on the walls. It's a testament to how tacky the 60s equivalent to normies were if anything. Fucking Today by Jefferson Airplane,that's some "objective beauty",but I digress no you're just boring. Otherwise you would realize Neu!,CAN,Love,The Velvet Underground,Funkadelic,The Hollies,or someone else had already done everything you just outlined 50000× better.

>>126956579 (OP)
You fags unironically think this generic pop song matches up with Bach or Vivaldi? Fucking really?

>>126965561
You're a little slow for liking funko sounds to begin with haha. It failed because it was completely bland and uneventful. >>126965580

>>126965517
I thought this tranny had killed himself

>>126965580
They're angry they can't get laid and they mistakenly believe that being extremely aggressive about the most generic and bland pop imaginable will make them seem normal.

>>126965411
It is. You're just retarded and know nothing about music haha. Hollies did it better. 5th Dimension did too and Beau Brummels.

>>126965573
Yeah keep on typing your brilliant observations about how music sounds like semen and vomit on walls. You're an idiot

>>126965585
You're delusional and spastic. Either you're a "tranny" yourself and in deep denial or this is just paranoid schizoshit. But no,killing yourself is something people like you do. Like insisting x or y is imaginary because you don't have it. Etc.

>>126965607
Yeah you have no idea what yours talk8ng about haha. Objective beauty in the sense you could appreciate it when you were 12 and not that it couldn't be done by ai for a strip mall or has any actual beauty to it. Fucking retard. Lmk how dying alone goes though.

>>126965603
cool post some of their songs

>>126965607
Retarded meltdown. I explained exactly what I meant. If it was profound high art you'd be too stupid for it. You like it because it's simple music made by an actual retard meant to be sold in supermarkets. The Velvet Underground are the ones who actually did all that minimalist shit you talked about. But you like tacky retarded bullshit for obnoxious retards. It is what it is ig.

>>126965619
Which one? Watching SpongeBob with my girl.

>>126965641
Dumbass

>>126965649
whichever one you think will convince me you're right. i'd like to form my own opinion

God only knows is literally generic as fuck for the time haha. Listen to Frozen Laughter by The Rising Storm. Now that's an exceptional track. Sing Swan Song by CAN an 7 and 7 is by Love too. Angel by Hendrix. All way better than this crap.

>>126965651
Yeah you can't even form full sentences without somebody writing it for you.
>>126965658
Sing Swan Song by CAN

The Wolf of Velvet Fortune by The Beau Brummels

Bird Song by The Grateful Dead

Pax/dream/nepenthe by the 5th Dimension

Requiem 8:20 Letham by The 5th Dimension

Pegasus,The Flying Horse by The Hollies

Butterfly by The Hollies

Alone again or by Love

Give me Coffee or Tea by CAN

Fancy that by Ed Askew

Telegraph Towers by Gary Higgins

Paperhouse which is also by CAN

Angel by Jimi Hendrix

Drifting by Jimi Hendrix

The Song is Familir by Funkadelic

I'm on my way by Rufus Zuphall

Idk I can't think of any others rn lol

>>126965666
i listened to the can song. its pretty awful all around, almost a one chord vamp. the hendrix song has AWFUL mixing and the drummer has bad dynamics. the bass player is just kind of pedaling the same riff. the lyrics are ok i guess but not as subtle as god only knows imo. do i even have to bother listening to the others?

>>126965658
>>126965651
Watching spingebab after helping my on and off again clean up the apartment hoping she gets back with me lol. Idk. She's been less crazy and more chill so fingers crossed. But idk I took all this shit out and now I'm fucking tired ig. We're watching spindebaber though.

>>126965719
You actually didn't listen to any of those. You just had a meltdown and decided to say this haha. But I digress. Sucks to be retarded. I can see why you all like Drake now. Was very concerned it was the other reason ngl.

>>126956579 (OP)
not even the best beach boys song(its disney girls)

>>126965746
It's My Little Pony Academia:Revenge of Big Lary 4. (Imagine Nu Mu giving a shit about anything that couldn't be in a children's show ig)

>>126965741
bro the mixing on angel is fucking dogshit. you also unironically posted bubblegum pop "pegasus the flying horse" bro come on lol

>>126965719
>"the lyrics are ok i guess but not as subtle as god only knows imo"

Its not subtle you're just retarded. Also paperhouse has pretty complex lyrics if we're being real which your not but I'll pretend you are for the sake of it. Sing Swan Song had a very "conventional" and "pretty" melody but not much in the way of lyrics other than he's hitting on some bitch which tbf is a lot of Beach Boys songs too but fair enough. I listened to Pet Sounds once and it was boring as fuck. Never listened to it again.

>>126965760
I don't care about mixing as much as you do because I'm not a soulless basedjak with a negative iq and an obsessive knowledge of gaming pcs. I more care about the actual art,not the mastering. I guess that's maybe harder for you to conceptualize. That explains a lot too ig. ELP is very emotive. I know you claim to hate them but I'm sort for skeptical you've ever actually heard them and didn't just have one of your discord admin friends tellyou too but yk yk. Might be part of it. Love Forever Changes objectively has strong harmony sessions though. But I'll also give you that Jimi Hendrix was basically a main guy and his backing band who likely just did whatever the fuck he told them too,so the backing instrumentals might be a little stale to those uninitiated. Idk man. You definitely didn't listen to all of them haha. I can tell that guessing you only listened to the first minute or so of the two songs you did each based on response time. But whatever makes you feel less like the retard you are ig.

>>126965760
Nobody cares about the mixing except for virgins with no lives though. Is not that important isn't something anybody who gives an actual shit about music cares about. Probably matters a lot for anime or gaming o whatever you actually like. I can believe that. But boy do you know nothing about actual music. I'm listening to fucking ethnographic recordings and whatnot. No mastering on that yet people still pay to see it.

>>126965760
Also yeah The Hollies were bubblegum as fuck. Still a couple pretty tripping tracks. More self aware fanbase than the biotch boys mind you. Only reason difference. That and they had an actual sense of texture which is important for any real psychedelia that's actually good. Got to get that atmosphere which as bubblegum as they were they di well I think. But if it wasn't bubblegum you'd be too retarded for it. That's why yoh get angry when someone mentions some shit that couldn't be played in your heckin ebin animus to make you feel like you'd had sex.

>>126965824
you don't really need mixing if your drummer isn't a retarded neanderthal

>>126965474
>>126965517
Nigga you might actually be schizophrenic. 2/3rds of your tangent is you getting defensive over your fake gf and your fake black friend.

>It's OK. The time is today by The Association does the same "beauty" better as does Forever Changes by Love and Triangle by The Beau Brummels,which I can safely assume you've never heard any of.
I just heard those. They're alright I guess.
>The Velvet Underground do this infinity better and also we're far more influential.
This is further proof you know nothing about the music you talk about lmao. The VU were known for getting by with very basic chords and melodies, some of their songs are literally one chord the entire way through. Maybe you're the one "pretending to like" music all along.
>The Dead did the same thing but could actually songwrite.
I like the Grateful Dead, completely different style though. Not sure why you bring them up here
>You're too retarded to appreciate something that you would claim would actually appear to you and only like skibbidi flashy novelty shit
Genuine schizophrenic word salad. I definitely understand this song in particular, clearly more so than you because you don't know what chord changes or chromaticism are. What point are you trying to make? Am I pretending to like the Beach Boys because they're flashy which means it's sophisticated, do I like them because they're flashy which means it's bad, or do I like them because it's easy listening music? CAN, Hendrix and TVU are one chord dadrock jam bands for the most part, they're good for what they are but if you were slightly more musically literate you would've at least made the argument that they're better than the Beach Boys because they get by with more simple textures. Also, this strange obsession you have with people "pretending to like" music makes it seem like you're trying to justify your fear of missing out on music would make your current, shit taste obsolete.

>>126966020
He was a backing drummer. He did the fills just fine. For what he was expected to do etc. I liked it obviously idk dude. You listened to two of them and have never heard of the rest anyway lmao. Feel free to admit you have no idea what you're talking about whenever.

>>126966035
Lol ok retard. Like when you're ready for them ig. Not reading all that. Watching TV with someone. Glad you finally learned about sentences though.

>>126966073
>Watching TV with someone.
While looking at 4chan on your phone? That's sad, man.

>>126966035
>"Am I pretending to like the Beach Boys because they're flashy which means it's sophisticated, do I like them because they're flashy which means it's bad, or do I like them because it's easy listening music? "

Yes 1000% absolutely. It's you're retarded dumbed down TikTok neckbeard version of that. Just like you probably quote Deadpool in casual conversation. Thanks for getting to the point. You're unlikely to change my mind and certainly haven't so far.

>>126966084
It's more sad that you're a virgin into adulthood "man" but sure. Have a good one.

>>126966035
>"CAN, Hendrix and TVU are one chord dadrock jam bands for the most part"

You've never listened to any of these and have no idea what a jam band is confirmed. Retard alert lol.

>>126966087
>>126966096
>Just like you probably quote Deadpool in casual conversation.
>It's more sad that you're a virgin into adulthood
Sometimes I can't tell if you're just describing yourself or think everyone who makes fun of you is the same person

>>126966125
Yeah ok. Sure you don't. Nothing like you of course.

>>126966125
>"makes fun of"

>wall of nonsensical angry retard text

You're not "making fun of" anybody. What you just had was a fit haha. Imagine thinking The Bitch Boys were some kind of super complex art music. Hendrix definitely used more chords same with CAN.

>>126966133
You are so weird man.

>>126966148
Yeah ok haha. Keep telling yourself that. You're morbidly obese have no friends and project your weird fantasies onto everybody else but I'm the "weird" one while you're like 40 with zero job experience and no friends. I guess living the beach boys dream by proxy?

>>126966148
You're fundamentally retarded. I'm sure pretending to like Pet Sounds makes you feel normal superficially though. I don't need to I'm just happy being me. Come out again with more of your weird conspiritorial fantasies though. You are all the same person lol. Lack any independent thought. But lmk how this works out for you long term.

>has the exact interests of the type of obese retard who thinks Deadpool is the peak of comedy

>is completely unaware of it and thinks he's some sort of turbo normie because he likes shitty boy bands nobody gives a fuck about anymore

Haha ok. When ELP or CAN actually prevent me from getting laid and cause me to live like you do I guess I'll consider it. Conversation over.

>>126966170
I feel bad for whoever is sitting next to your lard ass on the couch watching you furiously type out paragraphs while choking back tears

>>126966215
Yeah I'm sure you totally do right? Great one. Alright conversation ended.

>>126966215
Tard rage faux smug bullshit to hide that you have no genuine response. Bro would suck Ryan Reynolds cock in a heartbeat. Bro stares into security cameras and says "did I do that?". Le hivgh vvesterv vart my ass. You've probably never even seen German Expressiont Cinema. I bet you think that means "dark and mature" anime haha.

>>126966245
I haven't watched a movie in 5 years

>>126956579 (OP)
Nah.

>>126966260
Yeah that's fair. I probably went a period of that too. I'm watching le spingebab right now anyway. Whatever you said about CAN and The VU isn't true though. I genuinely fucing love those bands. They're pretentious as fuck I'll give you. But for psychedelic music those really are golden standard bands. You should listen to more of them. Form a real opinion at least.

>>126966266
It's just not lol. Entry level neckbeards trying to be normies and faoling will force it to try and fit in though. Same with the sudden interest in the monkees after several decades of everybody agreeing they didn't do fuck all. Hatred of Hendrix is so forced too. That's genuine contrarianism. The Bitch Boys were actually just kinda lame and retarded same with Beatles. But Hendrix earned his sales.

idk Christgau said he never got into PS because he thought the album was just too lightweight/adolescent and he was like 24 when it came out and his tastes had gotten too sophisticated by then for it

>>126956579 (OP)
nah it sucks, any beatles song is much better

>>126956579 (OP)
I just don't like Carl's voice that much.

>>126966296
I agree with that. It just doesn't hold my attention. I know that doesn't make me wildly intellectual but I do genuinely feel like the vu and can and Hendrix all posed a little more. I can also see The VU were trying to do the same sort of primitives thing did it more successfully and were 40× more influential while doing it. The Beach Boys for better or worse mostly did matter as a "boy band".anyway noise rock and metal still exist and "more mainstream radio rock" doesn't,and even fucking aor shit unironically probably owed more to the prog bands you all shit on and maybe neu aswell in terms of being parked down and the tone to it. But aor basically initially evolved out of prog more or less so yeah haha. I do enjoy Cream,The Hollies,The Pretty Things,Arzachel,Small Faces,COB,and a couple other brit bands though.

>>126966275
It's a bit shameful to admit you have similar taste to mine, but I only like the more tightly structured shit like ELP (Tarkus fucking sucks though) and Camel. TVU and CAN are good and all but the monotony doesn't really appeal to me, neither does rock improvisation in general, only Sister Ray left a real impression on me

>>126966394
It's intended to be hypnotic and create ambiance. It's about the overall mood of the piece and effectively insturmenting that. I can kinda understand where you're coming from on that though fair enough. Least for The VU maybe less CAN,but they can be pretty slow paced aswell sometimes. But it's definitely not for everyone. Camel is also pretty good. Camel is more eventful though. You might enjoy Amon Duul ii more more shit going on.

BB were too rooted in the 50s style novelty pop format is why. Their attempts at keeping up with the Beatles et al were interesting but never entirely baked.

>>126966477
This. Strongly agreed. I shit on the Beatles all the time aswell but they been naturally transitioned and this was at a point where people didn't think "boy bands" were coming back and that the acid rock era would kinda just last forever so it'd yk I can see why they did pet sounds and everything,really wish they hadn't though lol. Rather get high to surfing USA and surf safari aswell haha. They just feel more natural than bitch hoe's later work on fanum sigma cap or whatever the kids say now.

>>126966477
Hendrix was right about them and the monkees. Time has proved this right multiple times. Zoomers just miss economic stability which is fine. But they'll forget about pretending to care about boo band shit when they're old enough to actually have jobs even if they stay "alt right" and are saluting hit-i mean hi-I mean "Elon Musk and Attack on Titam" still at that point aswell. Probably grow up into radio country fans or maybe if they actually do do psychedelic neofolk with the whole thing and stuff situation.

Which on the topic yk fucking Love and Pearls before Swine and Marble Index era Nico all have more visible mark on the modern musical landscape aswell. Cannot refute this although you'll all try.

Imagine not even knowing who Hans Pfitzner was and insisting that funko sounds was le high art hyperborian true vvestern vasterpiece,meanwhile bands like ADii and CAN in Germamy were all from actually classical,eurofolk,or miliary musical backgrounds. Significant part Herman and I know who CAN and Nico were before I ever knew who Pfitzner was. Fucking retarded bullshit. They studied in fucking German art academy. Whatever they want it to be is what you just said.

Also being German or Dutch or from Hell,Norway in real life leads to you being Marxist unironicslly. You're thinking moreso of Itsly and France. Those are the irl "alt right" countries alongside Ukrainia. My family is all "hyperborian" on my mom's side and they will randomly invoke veauge socialist ideas without being asked or realizing it. You know nothing about the continental Europe. You're applying ideas which aren't true in practice outside of Call of Duty to places you're incapable of understanding. Germany is covered in statues of Karl Marx. If you lived there you would be repressed prettymuch instantly. The fucking Baltic are more conservative aswell.

Outside of prison ofc lol

And yeah I know I went off topic a bit there. But I digress,all the shit you're trying to invoke in terms of le high art is more true of the Velvet underground,canu,neu!,q65,loveamon duul ii,nico,pearls before swine,and gunther shickert than literally anything by the beach boys. What you're actually thinking of is probably more art decca from the USA.

Tell me this shit right here isn't absolutely fucking beautiful. Maybe I just don't get The Bitch Boys or Spotify Sounds special rare funko addition but crass and shallow in comparison.

The greatest song of all-time is Dopesmoker. Brian Wilson heard it and went insane again.

Funeralopolis is the one I always love.

>Pretending to be obsessed with random 60s boybands will not make you seem normal to the outside world either.
hey gang, i just remastered pet sounds for the millionth time! really think the veil has finally been lifted for this landmark album!

>>126966860
This is the guy that REALLY created "Sunshine Pop" right? I know it was somebody at the studio. Part of how I can write off beach boys so easily although having no truly memorable songs also helped.

>>126966860
You heard fucking 5th Dimension and Beau Brummels and The Association or do you all just know literally one band in every veauge category you can find?

>>126956579 (OP)
God only knows

>Why is everything you say backed with some bizarrely assumption?
That's his whole schtick, you're wasting your time with him. The mods here are useless, so the fact that even the non-existent jannies banned him should tell you enough about him

>>126966915
The Beau Brummels fucking suck dick

He is back isn’t he

A pity, the schizo can namedrop a bunch of interesting forgotten 60s bands, however his ramblings ruined any goodwill for discussion

>2 minutes of pointless flute masturbation

pretentious slop

>all it takes to be a genius pop song writer is throwing in a few unconventional chord changes which was already normalized in jazz
Its a good song and all but the amount of over analyzing people do over this song is crazy. but also maybe it just shows how boring the rest of pop music at the time was

>>126968073
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZrRaR8TU-o I dunno, something about the timbre of every piece of it is just perfect. Phenomenally good taste in sounds can elevate even extremely simple songs. If you aren't in love with this backing track by the time the snare rapuppa pup comes in at the end we have different ideas about what beauty is

It would be hard to say definitively what's "the greatest song of all time," but if there even is such a thing "God Only Knows" is certainly one of the possibilities.

>>126968073
that's the whole point, brian wilson was great at putting more advanced compositional techniques into pop songs in a seamless way that wouldn't be jarring to a pop audience. his music may sound simple but it isn't, especially when you add to it his vocal and instrumental arrangements. but all of this has got to be seen from a pop/rock'n'roll perspective and be compared to such songs

>>126964365
I never said it was top 10, but it's absolutely up there.

>>126971651
Nah, it's really fun, but it wouldn't come near even my top 100, but I get it. I kinda prefer Your Love Is My Drug. Ke$ha had a handful of bangers.

it's up there. a lot of malding here. the beach boys were amazing.
when people say they don't fuck with them they're just telling on themselves. like, if you think it's just a pop song with some weird chord changes then you're just filtered and it's a skill issue.

it's sad how the anti beach boys discussion in this thread has been 90% comprised of one person
