Collabrations with Brian in the 70s
punkinhead:
Working with Jack Riley, Van Dyke Parks (which I think is just Sail On Sailor), some songs with Mike; and there you have it, the people who collabrated with Brian the 70s, well and then there's the amazing stuff he did by himself on LOVe you....
But it would have been awesome if he coulda worked with others, like?
I think 15 Big Ones woulda been great if it was GIOMH style...guest artist and reworking (like he did with oldies)...
I think a Brian/Macca would have been a great seller...it seems Paul wasnt as big in the later 70s (i dont know, i wasnt living) but his music wasnt as good (to me). I feel like when Brian wrote a Friend like you, it was feelings of now and then...then being when he was isolated....
I. Spaceman:
He also worked with David Sandler on the Spring album, and with Carl a bit.
I wish he would have done a lot more solo material in the Fairy Tale, Love You and Adult Child vein. I don't think he necessarily NEEDS collaborators, he's always relied on others far too much than his own considerable talents warranted.
But having said that, my dream Wilson collaboration would probably have been with Zappa and/or a produced/written album for Blondie, a Brian reply to Spector's End Of The Century production for the Ramones.
punkinhead:
ah yeah, good timin' with carl...that american Spring stuff is awesome...
how could i forget fairy tale & adult child...my favorite obscure stuff of Brian.
HighOnLife:
Brian's a better lyricist than some people give him credit for. Some of his lyrics were among the best in the Beach Boys canon.
JRauch:
Without a question! Just listen to "Til I Die", one of the greatest and deepest lyrics in the history of the band.
