I'm really into the song "Pumped Up Kicks," but haven't ventured any further into their output.

And since the posters here obviously have good taste with The Beach Boys, as well as pretty good taste outside their music, I'd like some of your opinions as to whether it would worth it to check out more of their music.

Thanks in advance!!

All I've heard is Pumped Up Kicks, it's a pretty damn catchy MGMT ripoff. And I love MGMT. (Unrelated Factoid: The keyboard player from MGMT grew up in the town next to me...I've never actually met the guy, but I have a friend who used to work with him.)

I'll have to check out MGMT. I hadn't heard about the likenesses of the two, but if they are similar in sound, I'm interested.

And, its funny how local we find out stars are/were to us sometimes.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Interesting band that prolly won't amount to more than a one-hit-wonder status.

Interesting song with deep themes from MGMT.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591
