Genuine Imitation Life Gazette is pretty boring in some places, but I absolutely love Mrs. Stately's Garden. I'd say it's one of my favorite Four Seasons songs.

Every time you spell Smile as SMiLE, an angel's wings are forcibly torn off its body.

I'm surprised the compiler didn't mention "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" and "SMiLE" as the obvious inspiration for Eddie & The Cruisers' lost "Season In Hell" album. The "Eddie" movie is a fairly ridiculous conglomeration of every rock cliche and half-apochryphal music legend from the 50's through the 70's. Eddie, who resembles Jim Morrison, writes songs like Bruce Springsteen until he's inspired by Dylan's real life fav Rimbaud to create the radical "SMiLE"-like "Season In Hell" with its "Fire Suite" that has the rest of his band scratching their heads! Typical of the Onion to include a fictional album in their top ten.

Yes.

it would have been just perfect... iffn they hadn't stuck "Ticket To Ride" (from the Up, Up And Away sessions) smack in the middle. Reason ? Financial.

Ticket To Ride seems to fit the theme anyway.

Yes. My thought is those people are wrong and most likely suffer from Osmond Predjudice, a common disease. "The Plan" is unusual to be sure but it nowhere near dreadful -- much like most of their records, it has quite a few really interesting songs on it.
