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:
The main reason was that Brian Wilson was growing at light speed as a songwriter, arranger and producer and the other band members were not. He had visions the other members of the band couldn't comprehend. He faced constant pressure from not only his band mates, but also from Capitol Records NOT to grow, which, if you knew ANYTHING about musical genius, kills their creativity. A prime example of this would be the SMiLE album. Although the other Beach Boys hated it.....and in some instances refused to sing their parts on the album which eventually led to Brian scrapping the work.....37 years later he finally got the confidence to record it and tour with it. And guess what? It's one of the highest reviewed albums in history. Brian was right all along. Money and greed killed the Beach Boys. It had NOTHING to do with Viet Nam.
You should really go and see a Brian Wilson concert. Even Paul McCartney admits Brian has the best band on earth. Certianly the best these ears have heard. By far.
