Is Pet Sounds the greatest album OAT?

And is it the first concept album ever?

necessary tag even tho i’ve never seen him post once
@petsounds

Pet sounds top 10 oat

In but Beatles are better

Beach boys still great though

in

Pet Sounds is cool

do they have any other good albums?

two posts in and already disrespect...

got work to do ktt ...

As a self proclaimed Beach Boys stan, I would like to recommend you Sunflower and the Smile Sessions by Brian Wilson.

well the smile sessions should be a given with pet sounds, it’s the follow up, like literally but also spiritually

after that i’d say go for sunflower

i think i listened to the smile sessions a long time ago

i will relisten and listen to sunflower too. thank you danny

God Only Knows

They should’ve let Charles Manson in the band.

Unsure if it's the best Beach Boys album

I think he was talented but there was the whole cult leader murderer thing

made paul mccartney cry

my pick is smile sessions

that wasn't even finished right? should that count?

We always take my car 'cause it's never been beat
And we've never missed yet with the girls we meet

yeh that’s why im heh because it only got an official release in 2011

but it’s still fully produced like you get the whole thing in general, it’s not scratched demos or like unpolished stuff with raw takes or lyrics

either way it’s still an album at the end of the day that we can listen so i put it number one

there’s just nothing that ever sounds like it, it goes beyond music it’s legitimately spiritua and magical, which pet sounds already put the seeds on for that, but smile really ventures deep in ideas and sounds that hasn’t been seen or heard before, a true definition of a genius: the dude was 21c, no classic music training and orchestrated a whole orchestra with one deaf ear

Nine people get murdered and suddenly it’s a problem.

groundbreaking production at the time, and birthed a whole scene period: no one was singing about california and all its culture like that before, created many copycats

and it’s still an all time banger

"Don't Talk Put Your Head on My Shoulder" is possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard. And Caroline No is one of the greatest auditory experiences I've ever had.

I'd prolly pick PS if put on the spot but Friends is special to me
