I do believe, Bill Manning, that a "Fuck you!" from me is order. I have already seen what happens when you splash someone in the face with a ton of those in a row after he tells you that the Beach Boys suck, but I'm sorry. You come up with some of those melodies. Granted, a lot of it is super sugary and hard to swallow and I don't know nothin' 'bout surfing, etc. BUT "SURFER GIRL" !!! Are you fucking kidding me?! The vocal melody in that song is incredible! However reprehensible you may believe the Beach Boys to be, their syrupy hits have impacted/influenced music in ways people don't even realize. Has anyone heard "Red X" by No One and the Somebodies? Whether it was intentional not, there is some Beach Boys-esque stuff going on in there.
Pet Sounds is awesome. "God Only Knows" is awesome. Charles Manson is awesome. Everyone can choke on Bill's Beach Boys induced vomit and die.
A side note, I am not an active Beach Boys listener one bit. I don't own anything by them, nor do I have any of their music downloaded on my computer (although, I am totally about to download "Surfer Girl") and I do know that their lyrics are bullshit (which is something important to me). Still, if someone has to defend something that she grew up with and knows the deal about, then allow me to continue this battle without a following of agreement because, well, it just wouldn't be fun that way.

P.S.: If you think that Micheal Jackson stinks, too, then we're seriously going to fight.
The point of this entry was to get people to download JOHNNY CARSON and see how fucking right I am!!! Not download their favorite Beach Boys song. God, it's like having a bunch of fucking trainables for friends.
Oh, and this isn't necessarily directed at you Claire... but c'mon, people. Harmonies = musical genius... ?!? Whatever. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Maybe POP MUSIC-al genius, but that's about it. Beethoven and co. wouldn't even puke on Brian Wilson's turds.
Agreed! Writing vocal melodies that follow the music is BORING. It happens all the time, but creating something really different from the music and still making it sound great takes talent. Thank you, Peter. You are an angel.
Harmonies aren't necessarily genius. I haven't "studied" (or even really listened to much more than a couple songs) the Beach Boys' music but I doubt they were super-genius' when it came to counterpoint.. there are plenty of acapella and doo-wop groups that use plenty of vocal harmonies, but it's still totally obnoxious and nauseating to listen to.
vocal harmonies most definetly is musical genius. For one, any of you try doing it and making it all up your self, and second, beach boys stuff is waaaay more complicated than most doo-wop..they're really too very separate entities.
I am CERTAIN that you have been with The Banned, The Drinkers and/or The New Dress, come up with a vocal melody and been like "Holy shit! I fucking rule all over this shit" and not only because you have a very loving relationship with yourself, but because it's actually good. Where you come in on "Bring it to a Boil" is up there with the vocal melody on "Surfer Girl" because it's unusual. Certain things that Melissa does are unsual and I want to marry her for it. It's not POP MUSIC-al genius, it's good song writing.
Speaking of Trainables, I just saw an old educational film on how to train the lil suckers how to cope with menstruation. "For a few days about every four weeks, blood comes out of a hole between your legs".
It's much better than this supid conversation about The Beach Boys.
