Nah, not picking on you or doubting your love of the BB's. I just get
nervous when Pet Sounds is such an achor for everything Beach Boys. It's
like the Sgt Peppers line. I like both of those albums plenty but those
bands did so much it's hard to wrap everything around them.
I used the word misinformed because there are so many, who as you've
said never heard anything else.
Sorry it's just me who thinks songs like Chug A Lug and Farmers Daughter
are as good as anything Brian Wilson wrote.
Don't get me wrong or worse take my comments as directed straight back
at you. Just gabbing.
Isn't this just a long cocktail party where we can yak about anything as
long as we don't get drunk and break things...
you should have just said what you really felt in the first place:You
need 'em all.

much time at too many dental offices lately...
