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

When I say Brian Wilson is a genius, I don't mean that he wrote the best pop songs of the era. He didn't. Rather, I mean that he had that level of raw talent. And I believe that he did. His harmonic sense and his ability to conceptualize multiple voices are the evidence.

I'm not talking about something that can be learned. Learning, personality, effort, and musical style all contribute to the quality of a piece of music and so it is possible for a composer of lesser innate talent to outdo one of greater innate talent. The popular artist in particular is constrained by his audience and the form, and, not infrequently, by lack of learning.
