Beach Boys Today is remarkably underrated and pre-sages most of what was to
come on Pet Sounds (albeit with less orchestration.) "Good To My baby",
"Don't Hurt My Little Sister", "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)", the Spector
homage "I'm So Young" (with that breathtaking coda), "Kiss Me Baby", "She
Knows Me Too Well"-- surely one of the great records ever recorded.
