Better Album Title and Cover For 'Love You'?

[originals]

[SMiLE Brian]

How about the title being "The Beach Boys-Planet Brian"

That'd be cool.

I actually really like how the quilted computer graphics of the original cover match the homespun electronic synthesizer sounds inside.

And I guess I'm a fan of the title too, though I wish it had been "Brian Loves You", if only because he sounds so adorable when he mentions how he wants to name the album that in the interview.

   I hear ya.

I've always felt that Mike should release a solo album called Mike Loves You.

I believe that was a working title until just before the lp was released. The cover was done by Dean Torrence graphics. Nice package with below par music some of which should not have been released-sorta in the vein of the SS debacle.

Title: "God, Please"

[over and over]

I think Brian said in an interview once he wanted to call it "Brian's in love".

Well, I don't know that I would argue that Love You is great music. But it somehow is one of my favorite albums. I also like the front cover. Although, the one given to be titled Solar System wouldve been good as well.

[Mark Dillon]

Dean lobbied to call it Cowabunga, the expression popularized by Chief Thunderthud on Howdy Doody. That was supposed to tie into the native theme of the cover art, which was meant to look like a Navajo rug.

[Al Jardine: Pick Up Artist]

Nice Bauhaus 93 font.

To my friends I simply say Love You is quirky, eccentric and highly contextual, but ultimately endearing due to it's child like themes and lyrics. It also had one of the weirdest sounds one could find in popular music by 1977.

I dislike brilliant music with a world of unique charm like Luhv Yew and sMiLeY sMiLe.

Everything about Love You is perfect in the most non-perfect way imaginable.

[Gertie J.]

Better title and cover? No, thanx, i'm used to the official.

… the native theme of the cover art, which was meant to look like a Navajo rug.

Blimey, I always thought it looked like some kid got keen with a pack of felt tips and a sheet of graph paper!  That said I'm happy with the original, which went okay with the (if I remember correctly) the cheap card used for the original LP sleeve. Felt real budget!

And who here hasn't attempted the same thing at some point? (usually in my case to realize that I've missed a square on the top row or something..

Me, the record buying public, and the critics have been disliking both albums for longer than ruhnerdyilezeeroh has been a fanboye.

You're better than me because you're older than me, and popular opinion is always right - that's why Kesha is the greatest songwriter of all time.

Tee hee. I think he was just poking fun at my poking fun at his frequent misspelling of things he dislikes. Or maybe he's saying he dislikes me.

Quick mods, please change my name to ruhnerdyilezeeroh so I can rest assured that oldsurferdude, at worst, thinks I'm an okay guy. I'm not joking.

This is the album art I made for my compilation of all original late 70's Beach Boys material;

Except...critics have wonderful things to say about both albums, would you like some examples?

Depends on who wrote them and when they were written.
