I'm with you here, Stewart. I know what you're talking about. Any time this topic comes up, I feel like I don't know what to say. Should I really feel "guilty" for thinking "Kokomo" is among the Beach Boys' best works post-Pet Sounds? Does "guilt" play any part in the equation regarding my undeniable love for Neil Diamond's "Shiloh"? I think not. For as much as I like picking things apart, I'm simply happy to have more songs to love.
