Title: Another 'Pet Sounds 2' thread Post by: shelter on December 28, 2011, 02:28:37 AM Not trying to steal FatherOfTheMan's thread, but the other 'Pet Sounds 2' thread gave me an idea.
Imagine this: a casual Beach Boys fan asks if the group ever made another album similar to 'Pet Sounds'. And apart from side B of 'Today!', they really haven't. So you decide to create a 'Pet Sounds Vol. 2' mix CD with songs that either sound like they could have been on 'Pet Sounds', or that have a somewhat similar "vibe" as one of the songs on 'Pet Sounds'. You can use songs from any time period and even solo material. Here's my attempt: 1. Break Away (substitute for Wouldn't It Be Nice) 2. Please Let Me Wonder 3. She Knows Me Too Well 4. Time To Get Alone 5. Kiss Me, Baby 6. Summer Means New Love (substitute for Let's Go Away For Awhile) 7. Cotton Fields (substitute for Sloop John B.) 8. Forever (substitute for God Only Knows) 9. Let The Wind Blow 10. The Warmth Of The Sun 11. In The Back Of My Mind 12. Trombone Dixie (substitute for Pet Sounds) 13. 'Til I Die (substitute for Caroline, No) Title: Re: Another 'Pet Sounds 2' thread Post by: Newguy562 on December 28, 2011, 05:14:43 AM Not trying to steal FatherOfTheMan's thread, but the other 'Pet Sounds 2' thread gave me an idea. the only songs that totally feel awkwardly unfit for pet sounds 2 are "cotton fields" (sounds to country) and trombone dixie lolImagine this: a casual Beach Boys fan asks if the group ever made another album similar to 'Pet Sounds'.

Summer Means New Love with Let Him Run Wild Cotton Fields with Help Me Rhonda (Endless Harmony version with wah wah overdubs) Trombone Dixie with Guess I'm Dumb (track only) I'd also want to make sure that the Hawthorne tag for Breakaway was used. And I'd add Meant for You as an intro. I'd also want The Little Girl I Once Knew in there somewhere.

The single version produced by Al, yeah, way too country.

but i love that you included so many songs from today. i've always thought of that as the twin of pet sounds. or at least the little brother or something. :) |
