Being a long long time B Boy fan...I don't completely buy into the Pet Sounds theory. I pretty much like everything they've done (with a few obvious exceptions). If pressed I'd have to say it's Today for me. The music is as sophisticated as PS but the lyrics are a little more direct. Sunflower is a good one. All Summer Long was the sound track to at least one or two summers of my your. Does your copy say "Don't Break Down" on the front cover? First gig: Beach Boys (one of Brian's last gigs), Beau Brummels, Raiders, and Tikis Nov '64 Yeah, they were all great.
