Why do so many people consider great surf instrumentals by a band who at the time were marketed purely as a surfing band, filler?
"Filler" is a term used by people who have no understanding of the context of those releases and what the Beach Boys were compelled to project as a
band. Surfin USA = Perfect album. Surfer Girl = Perfect album. All Summer Long = Perfect album. BTW the Beatles were freaking great too...just different.
Jon, aside from the above-mentioned albums and Pet Sounds, which other Beach Boys albums would you class as perfect?
