(http://i.imgur.com/CLAGOTU.jpg?1) Sadly, that's the best Quality I've got, but if anyone can improve then go ahead. Interesting choices: Essential: Pet Sounds Surf's Up Superior: Today! Pacific Ocean Blue Sunflower TSS Good: Wild Honey Holland Love You Avoid: Still Cruisin' (https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/v/t34.0-12/10007512_4067381740896_1404249915_n.jpg?oh=22ebd1855acade61842a40af5969d754&oe=533644EA&__gda__=1396057735_399e24eef2f4238926cb385716fa51a6) (https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/v/t34.0-12/1544284_4067381460889_1828050484_n.jpg?oh=a075307906f4b06acaf9639cba9d36ff&oe=53366633&__gda__=1396058393_cc0e24c199e5b78592a770aa62b0b28a) Title: Re: The Beach Boys in Classic Rock [UK] Magazine's Buyers Guide Post by: Cabinessenceking on March 27, 2014, 02:52:20 PM Good deep cut list right there.

Still Cruisin', on the other hand, is available on iTunes, and it's entirely plausible that a new listener would download the album (recognizing four of the songs) and draw the conclusion that the band's non-hits aren't worth listening to.
Surf's Up as an essential album is quite puzzling to me. It doesn't surprise me that neither Wild Honey nor Love You were deemed worthy of being included in the highest category, much as I'd like them to be. I am surprised (but pleased) to see Pacific Ocean Blue included, and the song playlist is pretty solid.

Nothing wrong about it (actually, cool because it's underrated even by diehard fans), just wondering why so.

The book 1001 Albums to Listen to Before You Die has three BB albums: Pet Sounds, Today and Surf's Up (plus Pacific Ocean Blue). I've always found the choice of Surf's Up a bit surprising, much as I love it (my edition is pre the SMiLE releases). |
