Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Rank the Beatles' Studio Albums

Please, let's concentrate on the original UK releases! Otherwise there's no comparability between listings.
And "Magical Mystery Tour" doesn't count as a regular Beatles-LP. Nowhere! Because it and was never conceived as such, for any market. It was originally a Double-Single/E.P. in Britain and Europe and a compilation album made by Capitol in the States a few weeks later. It just doesn't compare to the others in terms of context and artistic intention! It's as fruitless as ranking "Endless Summer", "Bona Drag" or "The Masterplan" with "Pet Sounds", "Your Arsenal" and "Definitely Maybe"!

Shut Down Volume Two > Keep an Eye On Summer
Surf's Up > Pendulum (serving as both, as a cultural reference taken from the title track and as a hint on the inconsistency of the material included)
Carl And The Passions - 'So Tough' > So Tough
15 Big Ones > Back Home or Rock 'n' Roll Music
M.I.U. > I Want You Back (quote from "My Diane")
L.A. Light Album > Good Timin'
Keepin' The Summer Alive > Goin' On
The Beach Boys `85 > Where We Belong

Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The Wilson Project now expanded

I've never got my hands on a copy of the book itself, but nonetheless I'm quite familiar with a bootleg version that a friend of mine played to me once or twice.
I remember enjoying "Black Widow" and "Turning Point" quite a lot, but really out of context so. May anyone supply a complete or approximated "sessionography" of Brian's and Gary's mutual work around that specific point of time? I'm still not that sure which recordings are genuinely countable as part of their sessions, and which sessions actually just got attached to the bootleg release(s). Some clarification would be welcome!

Before the Asher-Wilson mafia changed the lyrics and all of the music, the record now known as the first true West Coast rap album, was all Mike's baby.
Phatt Sounds: The Mike Matters LP
A:
1. Wouldn't It Be Nice To Be Mike 2. You Better Believe In Me 3. That's Not Mike 4. Don't Talk (Put Your Cash In My Pocket) 5. I'm Waiting At The Bay 6. Let's Pimp Your Ride With Mike 7. Mike Ed L.
B:
1. Mike Only Knows (And Has Proof!) 2. Who Cares For Your Answer? 3. Cheer Today (For Mike) 4. Yes, I Just Was That Good At All Times 5. Phatt Sounds 6. Caroline's Crow (Uncover The Cornfield)

Smiley Smile Stuff / Brian Wilson Solo Albums / Re: That Lucky Old Sun

I gave it a four. Easily my favourite Solo record by Brian Wilson and in frequent rotation since the day it was released. Even the recitals fit in rather well and add imho to both, pacing and atmosphere. "Good Kind of Love", "Forever She'll Be My Surfer Girl", "Midnight’s Another Day" and "Going Home" were instant classics, and remain essential BW listening.

Pretty uneven. "The Pit And The Pendulum" would have been a far more adequate title. A shame, Dennis' contemporary work hasn't been included! "4th Of July" and especially "Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again" (replacing "Student Demonstration Time" and "...Feet") would've helped the LP considerably.
01. Til' I Die 02. Surf's Up 03. Long Promised Road 04. Feel Flows 05. A Day In The Life Of A Tree 06. Disney Girls 07. Don't Go Near The Water 08. Lookin' At Tomorrow 09. Student Demonstration Time 10. Take A Load Off Your Feet

My second favourite Beach Boys-LP after "Pet Sounds", and in my book their last truly consistent joined effort.
01. Forever 02. This Whole World 03. All I Wanna Do 04. Cool, Cool Water 05. Our Sweet Love 06. Slip On Through 07. It's About Time 08. Add Some Music 09. At My Window 10. Deidre 11. Got To Know The Woman 12. Tears In The Morning
