Title: What if this was the beach boys studio discography Post by: feelintheflows on November 23, 2017, 07:45:44 AM Today!
Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) Pet Sounds Smile Wild Honey Friends 20/20 Sunflower Surf's Up Carl & The Passions "So Tough" Holland Title: Re: What if this was the beach boys studio discography Post by: B.E. on November 23, 2017, 07:58:27 AM Well, a large segment of the hardcore fans probably wouldn't care, but we'd be missing out on a lot of great music and the group might not even be remembered as a vocal group. You could argue that maybe the '68-73 material has more commercial success without the surf/car image attached to the group but the reality is Today-Smile wouldn't have existed without what came before it.

If not more. And honestly, I'd much rather have Surfer Girl and Shut Down Vol II than CATP and Holland. By a country f*cking mile. Title: Re: What if this was the beach boys studio discography Post by: Emdeeh on November 23, 2017, 01:25:15 PM A LOT of great music is missing from that initial list.
Title: Re: What if this was the beach boys studio discography Post by: bluesno1fann on November 23, 2017, 04:19:48 PM I could honestly live with this. They’d probably be a lot less stigmatised as well.... that said though I would miss classics like The Warmth Of The Sun, which is still the only song that ever moved me to tears

Come to think of it, I sorta do.... Title: Re: What if this was the beach boys studio discography Post by: phirnis on November 24, 2017, 09:38:47 AM I love pretty much everything they did from Surfin' USA up to and including Love You. But there's some good stuff here and there on each album that came afterwards. Life's not black and white, so I'm perfectly fine with their discography being flawed. I wouldn't want to miss Good Timin', My Diane, Baby Blue, Pacific Coast Highway...
