Title: The Brian Wilson late 70s voice appreciation thread Post by: matt-zeus on June 21, 2006, 02:55:40 AM I only ever read bad comments on Brians late 70s voice, but I find it full of character and emotion as much as before. I know its not like the 60s voice but who cares. I think his speaking voice is really cool at this tme too, here's a few favourites of mine from this period.
Lines Marilyn Rovell You've Lost that lovin' feelin' Lazy Lizzie Solar System Sherry she needs me Shes got rhythm Matchpoint of our love That special feeling Ruby Baby Brians singing is unique from this period raw, manly, Sinatra-influenced and his falsettos are good at this point too. I hope someone will agree with me here!... Title: Re: The Brian Wilson late 70s voice appreciation thread Post by: matt-zeus on June 21, 2006, 07:38:39 AM I guess I am the only one then!

I'd like to add "Still I Dream Of It" to this list...She's Got Rhythm is not my favorite though.

Title: Re: The Brian Wilson late 70s voice appreciation thread Post by: c-man on June 21, 2006, 10:27:41 AM Hey, I dig this era too...love Bri's voice on "15 Big Ones", "Love You", and outtakes like
"Sherri She Needs Me" and "Lazy Lizzie". Groovy! Yeah, not as good as the sixties through early seventies, but cool in their own way!

I actually really like his voice on "That Same Song." But it's still kind of painful to put his 70s output next to Pet Sounds and think ... that's the same guy!

I really like You've Lost that lovin' feelin, Lazy Lizzie Sherry She needs me, and most of MIU and Adult Child. I really dislike (not counting Night Was So Young and I'll Bet He's Nice) Side 2 of Love You Title: Re: The Brian Wilson late 70s voice appreciation thread Post by: Lorenschwartz on June 22, 2006, 12:22:09 PM I guess I am the only one then! i'm a fan....briefly, i got 15BO, miu & love you all at the same time on vinyl at a record convention...'93i really think his vox run the gamut on these 3 lp's. emotional and wracked. just like me!!!! gotta love it, like aunt esther use ta say....by the way, these lp's really do sound better wth a can of Rootbeer and a bag o' chips. LoveU sounds like 70's saturday mornin television!!! Can get a reply on this? Title: Re: The Brian Wilson late 70s voice appreciation thread Post by: Sheriff John Stone on June 22, 2006, 01:37:19 PM I think the only listeners who can enjoy Brian's (and to some extent, Dennis') late 70's vocals are people who are familiar with AND SENSITIVE TO his problems. Others who don't know or simply don't care will be turned off.

Others who don't know or simply don't care will be turned off. Agreed!!! If Mike Love had masterminded Love You and not Brian it would be ripped to shreads. Though I think his voice went downhill too, if it would have incurred the damage of Dennis' or Brian's I again think he would have been torn apart. Not counting the 81-3 era Dennis later voice worked for me. I mean I love his pre 75 voice a lot more but I think he adjusted to it better then Brian. That said his singing on Love You is far inferior to what he was doing on his own.

Others who don't know or simply don't care will be turned off. Perhaps ... knowing what was going on in Brian's life at the time encouraged me to give Love You more than a cursory listen, and it then began to grow on me.

Others who don't know or simply don't care will be turned off. Not always. I know several of my friends who I actually turned on to the BB by Love You...even Brian's vocals.
