Title: Enemies of the Beach Boys... Post by: carl r on August 24, 2007, 07:13:37 AM It seems there have always been some people around who don't like them.
In particular, I'm thinking of particular types of funda"mentalist" Christians. Does anyone know why this is? Was it really the goats on the sleeve of Pet Sounds? Why the Beach Boys, and not... the Mamas and Papas, or Mungo Jerry? Its a bit of a mystery to me! Any ideas ? Does being on GW Bush's iPod qualify for satanic connections ? To widen it a bit... other people I know complain about the harmonies and falsettos - somebody I know said it sounds as if something is being squeezed. I'm interested in what people who don't like the BB say about why not. I have a feeling that they don't like 'em 'cos they don't know 'em, but... Title: Re: Enemies of the Beach Boys... Post by: donald on August 24, 2007, 12:58:46 PM Cause they're not cool like Jimi Hendrix or Black Sabbath. They sing like gurls. They're lyrics are dumb. They just sing about surfin and cars. Every song sounds the same. Any questions? :o

Post by: Fun Is In on August 24, 2007, 05:11:46 PM Maybe you could cite an example of the "fundamentalists" who vilify them......
Could it be the drugs, the rock'n'roll thing, the Manson thing.....or is this a joke? >:D Title: Re: Enemies of the Beach Boys...

Perhaps he means that ridiculous thing that's on youtube about them being satanists because Brian has admitted to hearing voices, etc. The link is in the BB Media section of this site.

Title: Re: Enemies of the Beach Boys... Post by: NHC on August 26, 2007, 07:36:30 PM I'm a fundamentalist Christian. i love the Beach Boys. Have for 45 years. So there. Anyone who doesn't is obviously under the influence of The Evil One >:D(and I don't mean Landy). That last part is a joke.
Title: Re: Enemies of the Beach Boys... Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on August 27, 2007, 12:39:37 PM Most fundamentalist Christians I know view that BBs as an inocent band that sings about surfing cars and having fun. Most actually say the Beatles are the bad boys. I would say in reality it is more the opposite. I'm a Christian, and disagree with a lot of things that they do, but that doesn't change the fact that there music is great.

Any questions? :o The funny thing is, that even though they have this image, the Doors, Ramones, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, REM and Sonic Youth are all big BBs fans!
