without reading the whole discussion, i'll say no one is close to Art Blakey. And this comes from one who's of negative opinion about jazz overall.

This is the album art I made for my compilation of all original late 70's Beach Boys material;

Whats the deal with Brian being shorter than Dennis 

photoshop?

You're a big beck fan runners, right? cuz your username brings reference to him. btw, nice choice.

Better title and cover? No, thanx, i'm used to the official.

With all the AC and Grizzly Bear shout outs, I've gotta step in and give a mention to Camera Obscura...very 60s-esque, yet still modern sounding. Definitely some strong BBs, Spector, Motown, and even C&W (along with the C-86/twee/jangle/indie) influences.

Now you're talking.

Nice song for driving the car. Use to sing along it while on the road traveling.

altho not about pictures.

I am a terrible judge of people...

Guess I'm too..

Large studio speakers or in the car. I've got an outright good stereo system in regard to the latter.

sure, you can list songs with place name.. as long as you like to spin them on your itunes or anything else.

yeah Time to Get.. is lovely. very happy seeing it gets plenty of love by bb fans now.

Listen, Ethan, you're a good guy and I enjoyed your pix in bb pic thread soo... lemme give you advice not to pay any attention on smbs off-top comments and just get along smoothly.

The classic Beach Boys line-up had five members. The family that Brian grew up in had five members. The Beach Boys reached their creative peak after five years (Pet Sounds/Good Vibrations/early Smile sessions)

Nice call.

A million rock & roll/country/doo-wop songs

Have you just said you like a MILLION r'n'r/country/d-w songs with NAME in title? Or you can name some special favs of those genres?

drats, letsgo, that's pretty tough.

ummm, let it be Surf's Up original with Brian only. it's eighth wonder, I'll tell ya.

i'd just done a mere calculation and i got 6 as my life path number. Now i know the origin of my brianist behaviors. by that i mean picking the newest flick as my fav, 3 years of staying in passive condition, making non-sensical jokes and many other.

JUST KIDDIN'

Ethan I'm doing  right now but in a good way. How did you get acquainted with him?!

Excuse me but what does 'ge ne sais quoi' stand for? i've lil knowledge of French. Just curious.

Why do you have to choose? Immerse yourself in all four - they aren't especially long albums or anything.

Concur!

Shame that Brian had his end-all breakdown when endless summer got big because he looked pretty healthy from 1970-1973. Fat Brian was only around from 1974-1975 in the public eye.

And 77-83!!!

You forgot about '76, didn't ya?

As a whole, Spring Vacation, PCH, Strange World, FTTBA, TPLOBAS. By bits Shelter tag, TWGMTR acapella, Summer's Gone guitar work and every specific sounds. Now i've got a ? does anyone have a dislike for IIT or liked it then it faded. Cuz that's what i'm at.

I've just did the calculation and yes his DOB is equal to 6. BUT. Fishmonk said in his previous post that you need summarize both DOB and full birth name numbers and after i really got the 5. So that makes a lot of sense now. BTW I'm a non-believer too.

LOL

I feel the same about Carl. He's hugely underrated as a guitarist and a singer and his kind modest soul is what makes him stand out among all the musicians. The guy was unique diamond.

Guess I baffled you all.  All right i 'membered 2 fav toons by the Kinks, Victoria and Australia.
