Perhaps someone can tell me, a huge Beach Boys fan, what was so allegedly great that everyone seems to have found in their Pet Sounds album. Aside from a couple of songs, it sounds numbingly similar and boring to me.

I love Pet Sounds. The arrangements are rich and full, the melodies are beautiful, the harmonies are exquisite, and the lyrics are, well, OK, written by an ad guy. It marks the last time Brian Wilson was in full control of his faculties in the studio.

Besides, how many albums can claim a bass harmonica/banjo solo?

Try singing along to the whole album.
