RE: How/why is Brian Wilson a "genius'?

Genius is the wrong word, perhaps. I believe Brian is one of the best conduits of music of the past 100 years. Brian has a sense of melody and chord structure that few others have. His ability to hear new combinations of instruments and utilize them in recordings was pioneering in his day.
I've always marveled at how he changes key in songs without the listener noticing. His multi-part harmonies treat the human voice as instruments and he also pioneered the studio as an instrument. So, musical genius, yes. Very high musical IQ. Einstein? No.
