I'm a monstrous Beatles fan- ask me any trivia question and I can spout-off answers all day, but I can say with honesty that to me, "Pet Sounds" is worth the entire Beatles discography.
Without a doubt , it's on another level altogether just like Love's' Forever Changes' both my favorite don't ask me to choose which one as that's not fair..and i would pick brian wilson as the best songwriter after bob dylan.
I don’t think SMiLE would have been really been excepted in the time of the 60s if it came out, it’s a lot weirder than any of the other stuff big acts like the Beatles were doing.
If you havent checked out the J Dilla album Pet sounds: The key of Dee - I totally recommend it for any major pet sounds fans out there. you can find the album on youtube.
+Bryan Figueroa Yeah it's a seerious possibility... however what it is strange it is that the best album of the year 1966 is already a hard choice to do... i'm not even sure if Pet Sounds fly over "Blonde on Blonde" "Revolver" & "Fifth Dimension" (avant-garde) albums... Even "If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears" + "Face to Face" have great moments as well... i don't think it's an easy mission to choose a single LongPlaya and put it down on a throne
Bryan Figueroa well well i like the 70s as well... the early 70s were natural progression in many ways & many genres.. inspirations went in all directions... it was adventurous I've made playlists for 1971 & 1972 (among other years) It was the psychedelic days... i plan to assembled a 65/66 playlist this week... it was half a century already
It’s impressive that pet sound was only recorded with three tracks. The last track being used for the mono mix. Sergeant Peppers didn’t need a little trick in Recording for tracks and then putting on them onto one track of a different tape.
Man,I wonder how much of Brian's work was pure genius and how much was him thinking "shit I gotta prove to these guys that I should still be in the band...fuck I gotta write some shit"
"Wild Honey," "Sunflower" and "Surf's Up" are *not* "psychedelic" albums. I would only put the non-released "Smile" and the released "Smiley Smile" in that category. What's wrong with you?
Evan Howell I know right? Thanks for telling me the blandest history lesson on one of the most colorful albums of all time, Pitchfork! Hahaha. I could get a more in depth description from the Pet Sounds Wikipedia page, honestly.
Matt October lol, they revised it after they realize that it was a totally shit review, saying things like "On the other hand, a lot has happened for music since Pet Sounds. For instance, compare Pet Sounds to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, My Bloody Valentine's Loveless or Radiohead's OK Computer. To these young ears, Brian Wilson's masterpiece just doesn't stand up.". That shows just such an insane ineptitude for a music review journalist, and sadly the original 7.5 before it was changed was written by it's founder and CEO. The fact he is using Radiohead and my bloody valentine as a comparison to down play the album is insanely stupid given they are of entirely different genres, of a different time, and have different historical importance. A proper reviewer should be reviewing what it is. It's like reviewing a classic like 7 samauri and saying then comparing it to a action movie from the 90s or 2000s, they are totally different.
@@TheFamousMockingbird there are albums from that time that stay relevant or fresh tough, like dark side, i think that even if it was groundbreaking for that time, it hasn't aged well, if you grew up listening to all the stuff it inspired or other things released since then 'pet sounds' sounds kind of boring, at least is what i think

"My horse would be so bitchin' in here"
I died when I heard that
I finally heard Pet Sounds in its entirety. It is great.
And like all great art it will reveal more to you on each subsequent listen and will mean different things to you as you progress through life...

Nah
It grew on me after several listens.
it's so dreamy, reminds me of a 30's silly symphonies cartoon
I never comment. But I LOVE this series you guys started.
Smile would have been the greatest album of the 60's, even beating out Sgt Peppers. (And i'm obsessed about the beatles, so that's saying something
I completely agree. Nobody is a bigger Beatle fan than me. But SMiLE is the greatest accomplishment in rock music history.

Neither r better than Dylan 🤷♂️

The perfect album doesn't exi-
it doesnt cuz it got scraped but smile sessions come close
their album “friends” is an absolute classic as well
OK Computer and Pet Sounds are like two examples of a perfect album. Seriously.
Pet Sounds: “Bold my 4 track tape Machine”
Love you is better tho
"My horse would be so bitchin' in here" Oh Brian :D
That's actually Dennis. He really did have a horse at this time.
+hastobe303 awesome! They sound so alike!
Yes, all of the brothers sounded really alike, it's almost spooky sometimes! And they all knew how to speak hip!
If you havent checked out the J Dilla album Pet sounds: The key of Dee - I totally recommend it for any major pet sounds fans out there. you can find the album on youtube.
I’m somewhat of a Dilla head but never heard of this. Thx for the recommendation.
great tribute to a classic album...happy 50th birthday Pet Sounds. Thank you Bri
beach boys da 🐐 no 🧢
One of my favourites album is Pet Sounds!
IMO greatest album of not only the 60s, but all time
+Bryan Figueroa Yeah it's a seerious possibility... however what it is strange it is that the best album of the year 1966 is already a hard choice to do... i'm not even sure if Pet Sounds fly over "Blonde on Blonde" "Revolver" & "Fifth Dimension" (avant-garde) albums...

Starry&Bohemian the music between the years 1965-1969 produced is incomparable and will forever be unmatched
Bryan Figueroa well well i like the 70s as well... the early 70s were natural progression in many ways & many genres.. inspirations went in all directions... it was adventurous I've made playlists for 1971 & 1972 (among other years)
It was the psychedelic days... i plan to assembled a 65/66 playlist this week... it was half a century already
It's great but there are too many great albums throughout the ages to just pick one.
Pet sounds & kid a are battling for the title of my favourite album ever
perfect album
this series is so good
Make one about SMiLE please!
Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys and John Lennon of the Beatles were innovators in music
well good vibrations made all of its money back and was a huuuggeee hit, how can you leave that out????
holy shit. soundtrack to a part of my life. LOVE THIS ALBUM
More liner notes!
happy 50th
My favorite album of all time
It’s impressive that pet sound was only recorded with three tracks. The last track being used for the mono mix. Sergeant Peppers didn’t need a little trick in Recording for tracks and then putting on them onto one track of a different tape.
Velvet Underground and Nico next, yo!
excellent video! looking forward to more in this series
Great series, really enjoyed this!
A fav in my collection!
The Smile Sessions (2011) > Pet Sounds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else
Raul Mejia Accurate
very correct, sir
Correct
Surf's Up is fantastic (except that riot song).
I love the bit about the horse at the end ,,,,that's the sixties
keep these up!
Love the presentation and information. Don't need the movie projector sound effect throughout, though - detracts from some of the music clips.
Man,I wonder how much of Brian's work was pure genius and how much was him thinking "shit I gotta prove to these guys that I should still be in the band...fuck I gotta write some shit"
should pitchfork start to ralease video reviews?
best album
Great series
best album ever!
great video.
I love when people do a great job creating something, then people with no talent hop on message boards and talk about how it should have been done
Do Smile Sessions
Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
"Wild Honey," "Sunflower" and "Surf's Up" are *not* "psychedelic" albums. I would only put the non-released "Smile" and the released "Smiley Smile" in that category. What's wrong with you?
Pls do one of these for Smile Sessions and Surf's Up
2:18 that's a gorgeous girl
surfs up is the best album by beach boys hands down
Too bad some tracks such as student demonstration ruined part of the album
do weezer blue or pinkerton next
Didn't really talk about the concepts, who the album influenced and why it's regard to be so need.
Evan Howell I know right? Thanks for telling me the blandest history lesson on one of the most colorful albums of all time, Pitchfork! Hahaha. I could get a more in depth description from the Pet Sounds Wikipedia page, honestly.
3:11 I’m sorry....... WHAT!
great
What’s the song at the end?
I BeG YoUr PaRdOn
It's not necessarily a concept album! Instrumentally perhaps-
It certainly tells a story more than Sgt. Pepper's does (if you minus Sloop John B).
@@flashbacks37 what’s the story?
@Gabe W ohhh ok thanks!
whats the song at 0:53
+Roodypoo Piano 'demo' of "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)". It's on the Pet Sounds Sessions.
+strunzkas thank you!
Lino
>7.5/10
>classic
yeah sure
What? They gave it a 9.4. Which is also wrong.
Is that supposed to be a low score?

@@TheFamousMockingbird Pet Sounds is a bit like OK Computer. No Surprises, for sure.
This album is proto-shoegaze
How???
do one on radiohead ok computer
please kill that film projector sound effect
Rude
Brian Wilson presents Smile > Pet Sounds
Lost interest in these guys since learning that they abused the animals at San zDiego zoo while promoting this album.
I do not care what anyone says, but sunflower and surfs up if not only 2 of the best albums The Beach Boys made. If not, better then pet sounds.
While I appreciate the artistry, to be honest I've never really liked this record beyond the singles
I don't get that. You Still Believe in me is an amazing song
Overrated album
L
I agree way overrated
Overrated
Deservedly so.
