mf said im a stones noob
dam right i am didn’t know it was a popular song tbh

BtB got some rockers, UK version > US though for memory

song bangs ngl

Listen to the whole album you croissant

will do tomorrow morning

It's not popular but it's not obscure. It's from their peak era '65-'73 which is nearly untouchable.

brian should’ve made the boys cover it!

The stones should've done a badass cover of I Get Around in the 60s

dam i can actually hear that in my head lol

Me too, jagger would've killed it

in the story of “what could’ve been”: the unexplainable time when the bbs had a recording session for seasons in the sun and nothing came out of it? apparently brian wanted to keep going back to it and produce it his way (which can take some time) and terry got tired of it - this was in 1970 and we still haven’t heard that version

but in 1977 the boys did another take of it for the attempted christmas album, this is also still not released (goes to show how much we still have yet to dig out) but we thankfully have a bootleg of it:

album nice, liked the “all i want to do” and “she smiles” songs the best

could the beach boys have been just as big if they never let mike love join and left him at his graveyard shifts at the gas station pumpin gas?

surfin’ usa demo with brian singing to get a picture of what could’ve been:

This sounds even more dated than what BB haters think they sound like

Jerry Lee Lewis knockoff makes what Mike did sound even more unique

There’s a couple other times where I’ve heard Brian sing lines that ended up being for Mike or things like that, and I thought that maybe Brian doing leads would’ve aged better than Mike but it’s hard to say how this would’ve come out, this vocal definitely doesn’t cut it

i kinda like it, it sounds innocent

but ig mike helps to bring a more rock’n’roll tone to the songs he is lead on which prolly helped to touch a bigger audience

i can’t lie his takes on the early surf hits are iconic like his voice over the song surfin’ is hard to imagine anyone else match that presence

but who knows dennis had a pretty rocky voice???

Smile and Pet Sounds are alright. They don’t touch this masterpiece tho

I think Mike being the oldest is part of what made him a good choice for a lead, I don’t think Dennis had come into his voice yet when they first started, it seems that even Brian may not have had his presence in the tenor range yet. I like Mike’s bass singing more than his leads

Aftermath UK is my favorite

i dont like the way they cram the singles in wherever they please in the us versions

what’s scarier is that not only mike considered this his pet sounds (you should read the note he did about it that comes with the album) but he planned another album afterwards that he said was gonna be his masterpiece and called it “the masterplan” - his smile???

and just like smile it never saw the day

god dam it misread my bois post and listened to the us version

He should’ve just called it Smile 2 or something to troll Brian lmao
