I believe that the media can at times go on a wave of critisism on somebody and it becomes the cool thing to do. Or give high praise to somebody else. Of course I have never met any of the BBs personally, and perhaps a lot goes on behind the scenes that I am unaware of.

From all that I read about Dennis having a soft side (and I don't doubt it), I have seen some interviews where he comes across as a jerk. I have also read a lot about Mike being a jerk, but I he seems very polite in all of his interviews. I am not saying that this is an accurate dispription, but I just don't buy into everything positive Dennis and negative Mike. When it comes to the music, that's a different story. Dennis was light years better then Mike.

It is kind of strange how Dennis stuck out during Sunflower because his songs were funkier then the others (Slip On Through and Got to Know the Woman). Then the rest of the band get's funkier and he reverts to pretty songs. Wasn't there something Dennis did in 72 that would've been a better fit?

Love You is not cheesy....
You don't think songs like 'Solar System', 'Roller Skatin Child', 'Ding Dang', 'Honkin Down the Highway' and 'Love is a Woman' are cheesy? Maybe cheesy is not the right word. I love these songs, but they aren't a very mature sound. Odd, yes, but child like. Most of the Friends album is like this as well. But there is a difference between good cheesy/simple/child like, and bad cheesy/simple/child like. Some that IMO are bad would be 'Its Ok', 'She's Got Rhythm', 'Pitter Patter' and 'Kona Coast'. But I like 'Match Point' and 'Hey Little Tomboy'.

I don't have it, but my favorite picture of the three brothers was either late 70s or eary 80s with Dennis in the middle and his arms around his two brothers. Brian was still in decent shape with a long beard. I think this might have also been a low point for Carl. Does anyone know what picture I'm talking about?
This one? Actually, that's not the one I'm thinking of. If I figure out how to post it, I will. The one I'm thinking of is a few years prior to this. Dennis wasn't quite this tore up.

I kind of disagree with era styled recordings always being bad. I think that there are some very good 80s sound songs. I happen to enjoy songs like 'Safety Dance', 'Our House', 'Cars', 'Rock Lobster' and many of the new wave era songs are very good. I wouldn't say I am a big fan of the 80s cliche procucing style, but some people new how to produce it well. I could say the same about any production era style.
Do I make any sense or is it just Van Dyke giberish?

I think that LA Light was the 'hippest' album they did since 'Holland'. However, it is quite boring, where as Holland is very interesting. When I say hip, I mean that it isn't childish and cheesy (except for Shortnen Bread). Love You is very childish and cheesy, but I love it.

My worst would be Hey Little Tomboy. Brian wrote the lyric but Mike sang it. Does that count? I actually like the lyrics of that song. Not very poetic, but humorous. Big Sur is my favorite Mike Love song. I love the music and the lyrics. In fact its one of my favorite BBs songs. Most of the lyrics he did from 15 Big Ones and after sucked. I do find it quite odd that Dennis used Mike Love more then any other Beach Boy for lyrics. Didn't they hate each other?
