Album #96: Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys


1.       
Sound: Surfer music with everything plus the kitchen sink
Mood: Personally reflective and occasionally playful
Important Songs:  God Only Knows; Wouldn't It Be Nice
One Song You Must Hear: I Know There's An Answer
Quote: “I keep looking for a place to fit where I can speak my mind; I’ve been trying hard to find the people I won’t leave behind.”
Notes: The Beach Boys most varied and yet focused album.  It has something for everyone but the overall impression is some somber personal reflection that is both difficult and joyous at the same time. Brian Wilson's masterpiece.
