Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
Pet Sounds at #2
[/center]
I may not have been alive when Pet Sounds first came out, but
being a music lover and absorbing plenty of different albums
from countless bands and singers in and around 1966, I can
easily see and hear what a monster album this was and to some
extent still is. The Beach Boys or more specifically Brian
Wilson definitely pushed the boundaries both in sound as well as
songwriting. It's just an amazing achievement for one man to
conceive let alone translate all this out of his head onto tape.
We all know the background story of how Brian Wilson was majorly
influenced by The Beatles album Rubber Soul
HTML http://pennycan.createaforum.com/music/the-beatles-discography/msg1289/#msg1289<br
/>and how Pet Sounds then became a huge influence on the writing
and production of Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band
HTML http://pennycan.createaforum.com/music/the-beatles-discography/msg1291/#msg1291<br
/>as The Beatles set about recording their masterpiece. Even
though Pet Sounds is definitely different from previous Beach
Boys albums in a lot of ways, it is still very much a Beach Boys
albums. I just absolutely love listening to albums that
influence other artist and hearing those subtle differences
while also staying true to their original sound.
It's no wonder that Rolling Stone Magazine has Pet Sounds as #2
on their Top 500 Albums Of All Time List. FYI, Peppers is
currently at #3 on the same list. It was at one time #1 but I
think a lot of people that voted on that order eventually wised
up to the fact that Pet Sounds belongs ahead of it.
Fave Songs: All of 'em. It's really hard to pick a song over
another when the entire album works as one giant masterpiece.

I normally don't review Greatest Hits sets until after I've done
so for studio albums first. But in this case I think it's
definitely warranted for a personal reason. Back when I was a
kid just getting into The Beach Boys by way of 45's, the first
song that I immediately fell in love with was I Get Around. It
was awesome. There was no KISS
HTML http://pennycan.createaforum.com/music/kiss-(the-original-lineup)-discography/msg1576/#msg1576<br
/>for me yet. It was these guys and a little of Elvis Presley.
Anyway, my Mom had Endless Summer on cassette tape and I ended
up "borrowing" it from her and would listen to it day and night.
At the time, I didn't know anything about Greatest Hits or
Collections. So when I got into Endless Summer I really thought
it was a Studio album and to this day I kinda still do even
though its not.
I listened to this tape for years. Hell, when I started playing
organized baseball, I would go out of my way to listen to this
tape at least an hour before each game to get into the zone. It
had a calming effect and my playing showed on the field. I was
awesome! And so were The Beach Boys.
Okay. Now for the review itself. At the time, this definitely
was the best Set out there for all their biggest hits. Even
though it's a great collection of songs, I can't recommend it
because there are better sets out there now that offer more bang
for your buck. So, stick with one of the newer releases.
FYI, I Get Around was the first song I learned the lyrics to.
How's that for some useless trivia for you peeps out there. More
useless trivia for ya, The Beach Boys were the first band I saw
Live

This is NOT a Review
[/center]
I have this on vinyl somewhere but I can't find it. I think it's
in the last crate of vinyls I have but it's most likely still
out in the garage. So, I can't give this one a proper review.
But what I can say is that I got this specifically for Getcha'
Back. I really don't remember much of the album at all other
than that song, which I think is awesome.

For me this is the Granddaddy of Greatest Hits packages for The
Beach Boys. Now I don't know if they have since released a more
comprehensive set with even more songs within the last few
years. But for me I am 100% satisfied with this collection. It
has them all and they all get played plenty of times in my car
year round. Trust me, when it's winter and raining on those very
rare occasions, I will play this Set to make it feel like summer
and it works every time. Everything from California Girls to
Surfin' Safari to In My Room to God Only Knows to Getcha Back to
Good Vibrations to Kokomo can be found here. Yes, even Kokomo!!
What makes this set even better are a handful of songs that have
been given the Stereo treatment. Remember all their earlier
stuff was Mono. So, this is definitely one to get and with 30
songs here, it's nothing to sneeze at. I highly recommend this
for anyone's personal collection.

Yo Mac, you should port (copy/paste) your review of That's Why
God Made The Radio on over here. I will probably get to my
review of it tonight myself.
