Now tell me my favorite word?

I don't know how many chances Mick gave it, but I only gave it one. It just didn't do anything for me, so it's a dust collector now!

...

Seriously?

I...don't even know how to respond.

Yes, I realize music is subjective, but...seriously? You seriously heard "God Only Knows" and "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)" and "Here Today" and "I'm Waiting for the Day" and "I Just Wasn't Made For these Times" and "Hang On To Your Ego" and think that?

I think it's the most flawless album of all time.



Seriously?

I am personally not a BB fan, largely due to their failure to evolve and sullying the brand. But I can definitely appreciate their golden era sound and Brian Wilson's orchestral approach to vocal harmony arrangement; nobody was doing 3- or 4-part harmonies like that in rock music. And you can clearly hear the BB influence in songs like "Sara" and "You Make Loving Fun." Oh, and of course, "Farmer's Daughter." And it goes without saying that bands like Crosy Stills Nash (& Young), The Byrds, The Mamas & the Papas, etc. would not have existed without the BB sound.

Oh, BTW... is it me, or was Mike Love really creepy looking/acting?

MEGA creep. I have to rant about him to you. Soon.
