The Beach Boys tend to have a steep learning curve for many people. Hell, it took me about 8 years to get into Pet Sounds. A song like "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)" might sound like a corny teeny-bopper song on the first few listens, but upon closer inspection there's A LOT more going on in the song than first meets the ear. Some of the chord transitions in there literally send tears down my cheeks.
