so real

everyone that s***s on ringo is a clown, dude is always TIGHT in the pocket and delivering exactly what the song needs, imagine telling someone to drum over a day in the life, he gave it exactly what he needed. great drummer and definitely an influential player

to me the best way to end the argument is just listen to come together

the way the drums sets it is as iconic as the bassline and singable

this >>>>>> regular school trained technical drum beat ANY DAY

bc that’s what creativity is, make your instrumental forget its an instrument

Try taking the album track by track and commenting on each song.
Paul McCartney: Wouldn't It Be Nice' hums the first verse up to 'know it's gonna make it that much better. That's the bit of melody I love. sings 'When we can say goodnight and stay together, wouldn't it be nice. I’ll tell you what I was telling my kids, is that on most of the tracks on Pet Sounds, and it applies on this one, is that the orchestration, the instrumentation that's used on it, I was very fascinated by. Yeah, I love that one.

You Still Believe In Me
Paul McCartney: I love that melody. That kills me, that melody. hums the first verse, bursts into song at 'I wanna cry.' That's my favorite, I think. The way that's arranged, where it goes away very quietly. I was in the car the other night, and I was telling the kids, saying, 'wait, wait, here it comes.' And then it comes back, and it's so beautiful right at the end, comes surging back in these multi-colored harmonies. Sends shivers up my spine. That's one of my favorite tracks.

That's Not Me
Paul McCartney: hums a verse, then sings "just one girl Lovely melody. I took my kids through the album. We were playing it in the car coming back from the airport, and I was just picking out 'Ooh, ooh. This bit. Listen to this bit. Ooh, listen to this.' I must say, they were impressed. They've been in love with the album ever since.

What about the lyrics?
Paul McCartney: Lyrics to me are kind of secondary, but some of them are really spot on. 'God Only Knows' lyrics are great. Those do it to me every time. And sings 'just one girl' from 'That's Not Me. There's something very touching about that little bit of lyric there."

You were once quoted as saying something like "God Only Knows" is the greatest song ever written.
Paul McCartney: It's a really, really great song---it's a big favorite of mine. I was asked recently to give my top ten favorite songs for a Japanese radio station...I didn't think long and hard on it, but I popped that "God Only Knows" on the top of my list. Thinks for a moment It's very deep. Quotes the lyrics to "God Only Knows" Very emotional, always a bit of a choker for me, that one. There are certain songs that just hit home with me, and they're the strangest collection of songs...

How about the instrumentals?
Paul McCartney: Say, I love the orchestra, the arrangements. I love the instrumentation. I mean, I love the way he uses harmonicas, the way he uses harpsichords. I love the way he uses timps and snare drums, and they're often on odd little patterns. And I mentioned the bass. The writing for the harmonies is brilliant. I love the melodies.

Now, having mentioned that, I don't think there's an awful lot left in music, is there?
Paul McCartney: If you can pop all of those together in one album, I figure you've got it. It really is...I don't know, it may be going overboard to say it's the classic of this century, but to me, it certainly is a total, classic record that is unbeatable in many ways.

So it'll held up over the years?
Paul McCartney: It more than holds up. It's better than ever. When Sgt Pepper came out on CD, it awakened interest in that album for me. I have a two-hour drive normally to London; I played Sgt. Pepper on the way in, and then Pet Sounds on the way out, and both of them have more than held up. To me it’s like, ‘What have people been doing in meantime? Where's the progress?’ I can't see anything as modern as that around at the moment. Obviously, one of them, I'm being slightly immodest on, but I think they’re very exciting, even though they’re really recorded quite primitively compared to now.

From that same period, how about "Good Vibrations"?
Paul McCartney: I thought it was a great record. It didn't quite have the emotional thing that Pet Sounds had for me. I’ve often played Pet Sounds and cried. It's that kind of an album for me.

Any last thoughts?
Paul McCartney: I'm still a big fan. I figure with what you're gonna write here, he'll know that. Just let Brian know that I love him, and that I still think he's gonna do great things.

So I did run through, I will say that I have to read a bit more, but this intake is amazing, hearing Paul talk about the songs it’s so warming and honestly Beach boys are amazing and to this day have never lost that ability to draw in such a wonderful emotion. I would like to do the same thing with reviews in the future to as well I believe Paul doing this, is the way that people should review music

I feel this is a breath of fresh air, when you read or hear someone’s review there’s not enough being said about how amazing and talented the people are they are talking about and sometimes they’re just running down that talent because of something they don’t like or something that was said or something in the past and I do feel like with this whole review what I read so far I’m gonna read the rest, this is just in lightning and so wholesome and humble and thank you so much for sharing this. And all the facts and everything you share with this community but this is really warming to the heart. I know one thing about my grandfather I will say is that he was fan of certain types of Beatles song, and a really huge fan of the beach boys and I do believe that they’re obviously both immensely talented in their own fields and this review really just bring so much light and energy. I love it man.
