In Reply to: So, why did the almighty Beach Boys get nuked by the Brits and SF music scenes? posted by tinear on February 22, 2007 at 04:49:42:
It's all whatever you like, but personally, I like the old Beach Boys surf stuff better than the Smile kinda stuff anyway and the first couple Beatle albums are the only ones I can ever listen to.If all them hippies really were ready to throw anything on the trash heap that didn't conform to their politics and narrow musical tastes of a given moment, they were a pretty lock-step marching crew. Can't say I see the piont of all that conformity in a supposedly counter-culture movement.
I'm sure many were more open beyond a narrow definition of what was "cool" in both thought and music, but this thread sure don't make it sound like that.
