I have no opinion about the Beach Boys one way or the other. As I mentioned
many years back in conversations, they were never in my sphere of influence.
And I have no urge to step into the way back machine. I appreciate the
multitude of hits they managed over a very lengthy career (I'm always a
sucker for good Top40 singles), but I haven't the slightest curiousity to
hear anything else. After being a captive listener in Dave Rave's car two
years ago while traveling through Portland, Oregon I heard the entire
"Smile" boxed set in one sitting and found it totally uninspiring. Yes, I
realize it's an incomplete work, but I wasn't there during that period of
great creativity for them. I don't get it. "Good Vibrations" smoked...even
the version with the alternate lyrics....but, again....I didn't get all
goose pimply or remotely overwhelmed by what I heard. It was quaint and I
appreciated the historical value of it...but it ain't in my collection.
