“Wouldn’t It Be Nice…”
On This Day, May 16th in 1966: The Beach Boys released the controversial album Pet Sounds, which is considered by many to be one of the best and most influential albums in popular music history. I confess that I haven’t listened to this album in a couple of years, but I am going to put it on right now, because it really is just amazing.
That’s a good vibration.
This was the ultimate record of that era. Too bad Brian thought that the follow-up, Smile was better. The opening notes and lyrics in “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” are still as powerful as ever. Nice!
