Sunflower's my all-around favorite (after Pet Sounds, that is) followed by Friends. Love You was actually the first Beach Boys album I purchased, on vinyl. I was intrigued by Dean Torrence's needlepoint art on that big album cover. It's a weirdly touching and comical record - sort of Brian's musical equivalent of Crayola poetry.
 Or as Lester Bangs wrote, "The Beach Boys Love You pulls off a feat that's eluded, say, Pete Townshend and Mick Jagger – it's almost more juvenile than their original stuff. It's not self-conscious, and it sounds right up-to-date. It's that joyous, rocking, soaring, roller-rink-in-the-sky sound that always made them the real American Music of the Spheres".

^^Love You is pretty underrated, but ultimately they sound unfinished - it's basically Brian on the road to recovery and the collection of songs that are on his solo debut are better fleshed out, although it has pretty dated 80s production
Moderator cut: image removed at first I thought the above were a collection of stuff I already have, but there are mostly outtakes from Heartwork and Swansong and live/radio session versions not bad, though I baulked at buying a physical copy, cos JFK brainless is very ghastly to me

 A Place to Bury Strangers - Exploding Head (2009) I loved their 2007 album, and i found it odd that I didn't already have this one in my collection. I like how it's a bit more tame, less directionless, yet still retaining the same ferocity of the first one. Kind of wish i grabbed it back in 2009 when I'm sure Zero or someone else here was talking about it. |
