He apparently didn't finish Holland because he doesn't recognize the brilliance of Funky Pretty and the fact that its another 'Brian Wilson contribution'
but its ok!

That's nice!
I really love Holland, so it's good to see it getting some much-deserved praise. I have to ask, however, what's not "profound" about surfing and girls? The lyrics on Holland may be reflective of the BB having "grown up" but personally I don't see Al Jardine writing about Country Joe & The Fish being in way superior over most of the early-hits lyrics.

It's nice to hear about a succesful young actor praising the Beach Boys in my opinion.
I got into the Beach Boys with Holland in the seventies. When I was a teenager. It was
only after that, people explained to me about Brian Wilson, and I went back and listened
to all the 65-68 stuff, and I thought, Oh yeah I see, he is a genius.
Then I thought, wow these guys are so good, that even with Brian Wilson's brain
in the land of the missing, the rest of them have enough talent to make albums like
Holland.
The Whole Blondie Chaplin, Ricky Faatar thing bothers me though. Just hiring really talented
people to be in your group, Steely Dan did that too, they hired a guy named David Palmer
to sing on one or two albums. And Toto did that with Bobby Kimball, it kind of, diminishes
the group when you just bring talented people on board temporarily, and they sing the hit
and then you fire them a little later. that whole bringing people in is disturbing.
Anyway good album Holland.

Gollum had the smile tapes until The Beach Boys had to go to middle earth and take them.

well, Ricky and Blondie were brought on as permanent members, and then they both quit. so I don't really see what you're getting at.

David Palmer wasn't that good - that's why he got the chop. Fagen and Becker have relied on hired hands for a long time

yeah Palmer was only used on the first album, and only sang lead on 2 tracks.
I don't think he was all that talented either... Fagen just never intended to be a lead singer. That first Dan album was really them throwing sh*t at the wall and seeing what stuck. Their first single "Dallas" was actually pretty country. When Do It Again and Reelin in the Years became hits, Fagen gained confidence as a singer and Palmer got the boot. I was at a Dan show recently and Fagen mentioned that Palmer became a shoe salesman... not sure if he was serious.
Steely Dan was never really a "group" in the traditional sense, it was always Fagen and Becker's baby. They toured for a year or two, then pulled a Brian and retreated to the studio for the rest of the 70s. They loved studio players and made no secret who was playing on the albums. They prided themselves on using folks like Chuck Rainey, Bernard Purdie, Larry Carlton, etc. They attempted to tour again in the late 70s but realized they could never afford the guys they really wanted.

It's lame references to his Lord of the Rings work that would probably stop him from posting here, even if he was a member. Especially when people would start calling him Frodo and what not.

Wood also had TSS as the #1 selection on a list in Rolling Stone of "What's He's Listening To."
EDIT: Oops, that was in EW. That article was a smaller version of this one, my mistake!

The time has come to admit two things. One, that yes, I am Elijah Wood, and two, I have never and will never finish listening to Holland. Any other questions, I will have to direct you to my publicist.

Would that happen to be a Beatles site?
Also, FWIW, at one point Elijan had a record label, or an imprint, or something of the sort. The first (perhaps only?) release was the then new disc by The Apples In Stereo. Needless to say TAIS are influenced by both The Beatles and The Beach Boys.

Yup, Simian Records with The Apples' record 'New Magnetic Wonder'. He also appeared in a couple of music videos by the same band. Doesn't surprise me he's got good taste.
Robert from The Apples in Stereo

Smile/TSS, and were heavily influenced by it back in the day.
