Included is just one of the many gems in the Beach Boys catalog. When will the general public wake up to the fundamental advances to popular music put forth by Brian Wilson? His work has already amassed notable repertoire over the decades by maestros such as Leonard Bernstein. Brian's more savvy, counter-culture influenced, mid 60s work such as Pet Sounds and the eluding SMiLE are already highly regarded as pieces of the 20th century western art music tradition.
Popular music forever will owe a currently unpaid return favor to Brian Wilson, for his groundbreaking modular production methods, musique concrete-esque compositions, and entrance of multiple new instruments into its corridor, including the electric theremin.

David Oppenheim:
>Poetic, beautiful even in its obscurity, Surf’s Up is one aspect of new things happening in pop music today. As such, it is a symbol of the change many of these young musicians see in our future.
Leonard Bernstein
>Now what does all this mean? I think it’s all part of a historic revolution, one that has been going on for 50 years – only now these young people have gotten control of a mass medium, the phonograph record. And the music on the records, with its noise and its cool messages, may make us uneasy. But we must take it seriously, as both a symptom and a generator of this revolution. We must listen to it, and to its makers, this new breed of young people with long hair and fanciful clothing.
from 1966

People underestimate just how much SMiLE, released for Chirstmas 1966 could have changed public perception of capabilities and limiations of the entire medium of popular music.
It was generating talk like no other. This was ready to get the Beach Boys immediately put to serious discussion in every music hall, observatory, you name it, from LA to London.
SMiLE even has evidence of contaiting musique conrete, it sends my penis into a raging fury ever time I hear the drill loops in "Workshop"

glad i'm not the only one
>Derek Taylor facilitated the Beatles with Smile acetates while they were in progress with their 1967 LP Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, explaining: "They heard Smile in part—the first eight-track—up at Armen Steiner's studio at Yucca and Argyle. It was after Brian found out that they had been in the studio, we heard. We walked into the place and heard that the Beatles had been there.
sgt pepper is better in every way than smile
>>61830187
The Wind Chimes backing vocals in the vocals montage does that for me
Quickly post your favorite moment on SMiLE
>>61830264
probably pissed off brian when he heard abbey road side 2
>>61830456
horns and bass plunking in the breaks of child is the father of the man, or the part of Look song for children which references the good vibrations backing vocals
>>61830264
literally no
>>61830526
literally yes, smile could have come out on time and nothing would have happened differently

A Day in the Life > Cabinessense
>>61830591
Okay this I will actually agree with
However
Surf's Up>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>A Day In The Life
He had the chance in 1967, but blew it.
>>61830627
you never give me your money/golden slumbers/carry that weight > surfs up
>>61830681
No I will not agree with this
>>61830681
best tune on Abbey Road, but still no.
>you will NEVER own an autographed Brian Wilson 1966 action figure
>>61830692
i combined them because carry that weight reprises your never give me your money and golden slumbers, cuz they're all sorta one thing, and i didnt include the end because thats its own song sort of
anyways, i think its a fair comparison because both are fairwells in a way and im just proving my point that the beatles did it better
Heroes and Villians alone is better than anything The Beatles ever did.
The Beatles are great tho.
>>61830757
sgt pepper theme song > heroes and villians
every time
>>61830712
Is this an actual thing?
Where's the rest of the band.
I want to use these to reenact the drama in the studio during the SMiLE Sessions

>>61830834
The Brian Wilson action figure is real

>expecting revolutionary, deeply emotional music
>get a lame-ass singing about munching on vegetables and staying in shape
this is some shit your uncle who wears his pants up to his nipples would listen to
>>61829622
and the lead vocal melody was reused for She's Goin' Bald.
>>61831462
Well that was obvious
>>61831449
Nice bait, Mike

You didn't like Vegetables?
You didn't like the odd percussive elements?
You didn't like the acapella hymm of "sleep a lot"?
Maybe music isn't your thing.
