I don't understand why people like their vocal harmonies. It sounds like a cheesy barbershop quartet. It's so dated, so old. If you took the same songs and had the Beatles sing them, it'd sound so much better. The vocals are the worst part of the Beach Boys by far.

If you remember there was a popular band called Animal Collective who emulated the beach boys hard and everyone liked them.
That's called a personal problem.
worst post on Anon Babble at the moment. kys
Barbershop is a lot more interesting than just singing thirds. It’s depressing how much people have not only lost the ability to comprehend fine art, but that they actually like and will militantly defend their own retardation.
It's so dated, so old
Really? Music from SIXTY YEARS AGO sounds old and dated. Op is a real fucking genius.
Barbershop quartet criticism is so fucking retarded because most people who say it don't actually know anything about barbershop quartets, they parrot the stupid shit other people say because they're incredibly retarded and closed minded.
It sounds like a cheesy barbershop quartet
so? "barbershop quartet" and "pretty harmonies" aren't mutually exclusive concepts. It seems you have had "barbershop quartets" as inherently cheesy in your mind for some reason
It's so dated, so old
so? old is not a negative when it comes to art, and art doesn't become "dated".
classical music is old. you can't listen to some Mozart because it sounds "old" too? or does he not sound dated? do you have a problem watching black and white movies?
I agree OP. The Beach Boys are gay and lame. They never could have written a song like Helter Skelter.
you can't listen to some Mozart because it sounds "old" too? or does he not sound dated? do you have a problem watching black and white movies?
These are both true for a lot of people. I'd wager the majority of people under 40 won't watch/listen to anything made before 1970.
What's wrong with being gay, buddy>
if they were lame and gay they would've written a song like Helter Skelter
Most people can barely grasp bottom feeder pop and ten second tik tok videos. Listening to classical music or reading challenging books or whatever doesn’t really require a huge IQ but the idea of engaging with real art is completely alien to most people.
yes but they ought to know that's a personal taste thing and not an objective complaint as OP seems to think
for those of you who dont know, brian wilson was absolutely obsessed with the four freshman, an acapella group that has clear influences on the music brian went on to make. when he was locked away from the public, he transcribed four freshmen songs to stay sane.
try listening to it without vocals (link is to playlist) youtube.com
Barbershop quartets are based, ya pleb
youtu.be
why is OP not replying to anyone?
Under 40
Eh I'd push it back to under 30, I'm 31 myself and basically everyone I know grew up on classic films and older music.
Weak bait. Kill yourself.
Male harmony is angelic, and the Jews gaslit people in thinking it was lame.
this mogs like 90% of the Beatles discography

the Beach Boys were the first to really make rock/pop music art, yet autistic Beatles revisionism has pretty much destroyed that legacy, Scaruffi was right, the Beatles aren't horrible, but they definitely take attention away from the real innovators of modern music. Just amazing vocal harmonies like angels singing from heaven, their albums like Wild Honey and stuff from the Smile Sessions are also undeniable masterful art/avant-pop records years before it was even really cemented as a genre
Yep. Before the Beatles were relevant, Brian was already a master songwriter/producer/arranger + the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard. Mike gets shit on, but he executes bass parts wonderfully. The talent of the rest of the band goes without saying, heavenly.
You have to be an utter chud to admit to getting filtered by the Beach Boys

Because Zoomers parents like The Velvet Underground because The Velvet Underground were actually influential and zoomers themselves are largely a bunch of dorky manchildren by default (the "cool" ones with the shitty perms included) so the Beatles have much more of a natural appeal to them. Unironically goes along with Svvsvsvvs and jacking off to Chainsaw Man.
He knows he done goofed
"the Beach Boys were the first to really make rock/pop music art"
retarded manchild tries to sound sophisticated and fails
Lol ok. Lmk when you've listened to Claude Vivier or Brian Frennehough though.
"Done goofed"
He skibbidi alpha rizzed on the Ohio no gyatt all sigma huh? (No he's right shit is fucking retarded and gay.)
You're years late to the Anon Babble where you would have fit in.
Yeah,I'm sorry that it's mostly overweight retards who's taste is exclusively shaped by Discord trying to desperately posture as opposed to genuine music discussion now. That's really a reflection on me and obviously not on you right?
Anyway,sorry for pointing the obvious out. How many hours a day do you spend touching yourself champ?
It sounds like a cheesy barbershop quartet
About time someone said it. The Bitch Boys sound even more dated than the fucking Everly Brothers. Let that sink in, motherfuckers.
Agree
GO be smug somewhere else, faggot. I'm sick of you.
Meds.
listened to Claude Vivier or Brian Frennehough
Proceeds to name 2 artists who were composers and have never made a rock or pop song lmao
How is it a debate that the Beach Boys were the first to do art rock and art pop? Pet Sounds came out before the Beatles stopped being just a pop group, and it was a big influence on their later work.
You can hear the works of Animal Collective and a bunch of experimental pop in some Beach Boys stuff it's actually mind blowing, the way Brian Wilson constructed pop songs was also impressive for the time period, he had these amazing vocal harmonies and glossary of instruments, that the Beatles could never even match.

Why do you even have an opinion on this? You obviously know nothing about pop music history, why don't you just go back to listen to geek music like CAN? The 70s reddit King Gizzard band lol
haha we sent the same vocal acapella, that shit is just amazing, one of the greatest pieces of music in pop history, even Paul McCartney himself would cringe at anyone trying to say they were better than THAT
He's got NPD.
That's because Brian and Paul were homies deep down.
If you took the same songs and had the Beatles sing them, it'd sound so much better

Brian Wilson sat in the room, nervously awaiting the decision of the record executive. He had worked hard on his music and was confident he could get the deal. All his hopes and dreams of making his next masterpiece were on the line, but deep down, he knew he wasn't cool enough to make the cut.
The record executive finally entered the room, a stack of papers in hand. He sat down at the table and began to go over the documents. After a few moments, he finally spoke.
"Brian, I'm sorry, but we're going to have to pass on this deal. It seems that Mike Love is a much better fit for the label. He's 1000 times cooler"
Brian was crestfallen. He knew what this meant. He was being passed over in favor of Mike Love. He had heard of Love's coolness and knew he could never compete.
The record executive then added, "I'm sorry to say, but it's your wardrobe. Every time you sit down, your ass crack shows. It's just really gross, we don't want to be in the studio and stare at your ass while recording."
He felt the tears welling up in his eyes as he walked out into the street. He had wanted this so badly, but it wasn't meant to be. He had failed. He had been too uncool. Mike Love patted him on the back. "Better luck next time, buddy," he said.
He walked home, feeling defeated and embarrassed. He knew that he had to try and find something else, but it wouldn't be the same. He had lost his chance at making his masterpiece.
