Title: What's your favorite BB/BW-influenced band? Post by: punkinhead on January 03, 2011, 06:48:14 PM Of course we have a lot of the earlier bands that want that BB sound like Sunrays, First Class, and so on. But I mean more of the modern bands that have the influence of Smile, the late 60s/early 70s era evident in their music.
Mine's definitely gotta be the Heavy Blinkers Title: Re: What's your favorite BB/BW-influenced band? Post by: Compost on January 03, 2011, 07:06:37 PM Grizzly Bear
Title: Re: What's your favorite BB/BW-influenced band? Post by: Dunderhead on January 03, 2011, 08:01:26 PM Apparently both Marc Bolan from T.Rex and the members of Kraftwerk were big BB diehard during the 15BO-LY period.
Title: Re: What's your favorite BB/BW-influenced band? Post by: buddhahat on January 04, 2011, 01:09:55 PM Animal Collective without a doubt. Not sure if it's fair to call them BB influenced as there's such a mixture of stuff (Lee Scratch Perry and Grateful Dead infuence equally prominent imo), but there's a clear nod to the BBs in the harmonies, and also in the syncopation of the vocal lines to my ears. What I love about AC is that they use this influence to create genuinely forward looking, relevant, even genre-changing music so for me I hear the Beach Boys legacy been put to really exciting use i.e. influencing the most creative, avant garde pop around (Caribou, Deerhunter etc.). Compare this to so many other bands for whom sounding like a facsimile of the BB is an end in itself.

Title: Re: What's your favorite BB/BW-influenced band? Post by: hypehat on January 04, 2011, 05:17:03 PM I'm thinking of making a mix full of differents bands songs that have the style of 'Til I Die/stereotypical 70's Brian ballads -you know, plodding drum machines, layered chords doing an 'interesting' keychange once in a while..... Loads of bands i've been listening to lately seem to have one.
I'm struggling to think of my favourite. A lot of bands have BB's style, but they are blips in a more varied spectrum of influence.... Title: Re: What's your favorite BB/BW-influenced band? Post by: PongHit on January 05, 2011, 06:03:46 AM I love the BB-influenced XTC tracks.

Fab list you got there Alex! Just got into Best Coast. Title: Re: What's your favorite BB/BW-influenced band? Post by: Alex on January 06, 2011, 10:18:24 PM Adventures in Stereo Fab list you got there Alex! Just got into Best Coast. Maybe it's just me, but I think Best Coast's drummer has a somewhat Denny Wilson-esque playing style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FReA2FflU4&feature=related Title: Re: What's your favorite BB/BW-influenced band?

Title: Re: What's your favorite BB/BW-influenced band? Post by: Jim V. on January 07, 2011, 11:37:18 AM I like Panda Bear a lot. His vocals are obviously BB influenced. His work in Animal Collective occasionally goes in BB directions too. Honestly, I feel he is one of the few that even comes close to capturing the essence of the BB work. Some other artists try, but I dont feel it.
