From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

Your opinion, be that as it may.

I never stated that the Beach Boys or Brian Wilson were opportunistic phonies and was unaware of your differences with tinear, but I agree with the general statement which he posted. BTW, I could not care less whether Mike Love was or wasn't a phony. My point was that tinear's post made sense based on my own informed opinion and in essence concurs with the points you made about the group's failure to play Monterey, the ascension of Jimi Hendrix's harder edged rock, etc.; you can take that and do whatever you want with it.

I've heard plenty of Beach Boys music and while I'll grant that much of it is innovative, hardly any of the drug induced, paranoia inspired Brian Wilson compositions of that era hold up well in comparison with Sgt. Pepper or any of the later Beatles music (even Rubber Soul, which preceded Sgt. Pepper). Of course you attach a condescending caveat regarding those who have heard their music; well, I've heard most of it at least once, but to my ears it doesn't improve with repeated listenings. Of course, YMMV.

That's okay, I haven't checked that thread in over a week; it has probably scrolled on to page 2 by now. I doubt that your "musical manifesto" would have much more to add to that conversation anyway. :o)
