Yeah, Beach Boys had some very great music, no doubt. I have some vinyls that are in great shape, like All Summer Long, and then I broke down and got a CD comp of their Greatest Hits. Their vocal harmonies always slayed me, and it reminds me of certain times in my childhood in the early 60's. I remember one instance, in which I had flunked a course at school (a great rarity for a nerd like me, but yep it happened), and I was all depressed. It was a sunny day in June (another rarity in Montreal) at the end of the school term, and some girl in my class invited me over to her place, because her big sister had a real, authentic, honest to God BEACH BOY's LP ! She put on Surfing USA....and all the pain went away. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.
