True, although I accept the 'genius' part based primarely on the assessment of other musicians putting Wilson in that category. Beyond perhaps Good Vibrations, God Only Knows, and his interpretation of Sloop John B, I never could completely appreciate Wilson's work. I have about five copies of Pet Sounds, and I tried, I really tried, but it always left me largely unmoved.
To quote the John Milner character's assessment of Surf music in the American Graffiti film: "I don't like that surfin' shit. Rock and roll's been going down hill ever since Buddy Holly died."
RIP, Mr. Wilson. Thank you for the pleasure you brought millions, and for inspiring Paul McCartney to begin work on Sargent Pepper's after he heard your Pet Sounds.
