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...
