A few thoughts....
I don't think one has to feel nostalgic or be living in the past, as
has been suggested, to enjoy a band from any era. Isn't a great song,
like film, literature or art sometimes (and maybe even often)
timeless?
I didn't think much of the Beach Boys years ago based on my limited
experience with their music. I thought it was all "fun,fun,fun"..(not
slagging the song mind you). But there are many great songs to be
found that might stretch one's perceptions based on what was played
on the radio. As Marty said, "Sunflower" does make an idea starting
point to this fact. Again, it may still not grab you but it just
might.
