It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: I've posted a definition below. Maaate, as I've already posted I was a part of surf culture as it began

At the same time I was being introduced to high culture, as a performer.

I used to sing the Beach Boy's / Brian Wilson's stuff, it's not demanding, difficult or even particularly expressive, lyrically it's almost all trite. Heaps of fun, yes!

I'd put Porter, Gershwin and Berlin ahead of Brian Wilson, not miles ahead mind. Especially for their synthesis of lyrics and music.

I also think the Beatles were more creative as artists than Brian or the Beach Boys. But, I don't think Sergeant Pepper is 'the case' for their genius. I'd put Rubber Soul and Revolver well ahead of it, plus some of the earlier singles and possibly, the White Album.

Lastly, the best candidate for pop music genius in the 'baby-boomer pop' genre is Frank Zappa.
