That's Why God Made The Radio is their best album since Pet Sounds.

Seriously?

You think TWGMTR is better than Smiley Smile, Wild Honey and Friends? Better than Sunflower and Holland? 

Takes all sorts I suppose.........

Yep. I might be in the minority but I know I'm not the only crazy one. I've tried to like those albums (believe me I've tried) but the music just doesn't appeal to me. Even "Wild Honey" which is on one of their greatest hits cd, tried to like it but just can't. Also didn't like Pacific Blue, just not my kind of music.

I agree with Brian not taking drugs. It would be too selfish of me to let him sacrifice his brain for a handful of great songs. Besides, drugs or no, he still had a creative force dying to get out. I disagree with people saying Endless Summer was their downfall. I remember growing up my step brother had Endless Summer and I had just gotten Love You. I hated Love You but played the crap out of ES. To me, that's the Beach Boys and always will be. Except for the few hits they had, Do It Again, Good Timin', Kokomo, Forever, I thought all their albums after Pet Sounds sucked.  That's Why God Made The Radio is their best album since Pet Sounds. To me that's the Beach Boys.

Also, if I had a time machine I would go back and somehow try to stop Dennis from drowning and I also wish Carl had never taken up smoking. I love all the Boys and wish Dennis and Carl could have been part of the 50th.
