is this the pinnacle of music?
There is no such thing
>>64178550
if some music is better than others, there objectively has to be a best
>>64178160
No, but it is the pinnacle of 20th century art music
>>64178626
but it wasn't even released in the 20th century
>>64178160
Definitely not...
It's not bad tho. In fact I can find a lot of enjoyment from the the beach boys.
But not the best.
Here the best.

Best album of all time. So yes.
>>64178648
>>64178951
what? the era of the music is that which it was released, not when it was composed.
at the very least it proves that pop music can actually be good when being made by intelligent adults instead of spoiled, wealthy children
>>64178160
Pet sounds was the pinnacle. This was 2/10 waste of hype.
>>64179204
ask me how i know you have terrible taste
>>64178937
i can understand having a best album from a genre or era, in 'all of music' is just impossible
Nope, this is
>>64180333
Maybe if it weren't for the shitty talking track.

what even is this

Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music
it's literally Mingus using a big band as an orchestra to perform JS Bach-influenced post-bop - it has the immediacy and freshness of jazz, and the power of classical.

that is, admittedly, an odd detour, but I actually like it
>>64178160
No, it was just a really good album that would have changed the course of history had it been released in 1967. Brian would have never lost his mind. The Beach Boys would have headlined Monterey Pop. Dennis would have never hung out with the Manson family having been crushed by this albums abortion, thus Manson would have never been promised musical superstardom by a Beach Boy and would have never been driven to a murderous rage. Therefore the hippie movement wouldn't have suffered the sociological tarnishing that was the result of the Manson murders. The Summer Of Love would have never ended. The world would be a psychedelic utopia. If only SMiLE had happened.

Thank fuck that didnt happen
>>64180437
I don't know if I can agree 100% with your post, but I believe it would've given Sgt Pepper a good run for it's money had it been released on time in the way that Brian envisioned it.

Pet Sounds is a really pretty album but I've always found this to be so much more engaging. And that's before I discovered the soniclovenoize reconstruction, which is just, damn
>>64180437
>Brian would have never lost his mind
Eh. For all we know, he could have gone even more ambitious on his next album, and that would have been the one to cost a gorillion dollars, be cancelled, cause him to go into depression etc.
