Bapu Posted Wednesday at 09:07 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:07 PM At least Macca is still around. He's arguably the last 20th Century Pop Musical Genius still alive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane_B. Posted yesterday at 02:17 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:17 AM I never got all the fuss about them. Pet Sounds Vs. Sgt. Pepper ... uh ... no. Still sad to see a legend go though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User 905133 Posted yesterday at 02:41 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:41 AM (edited) 24 minutes ago, Shane_B. said: Pet Sounds Vs. Sgt. Pepper Speaking just for myself, it was never a competition, though for others it clearly was. Disclaimer: Back in the day, I bought Pet Sounds; my older brother had Sgt Pepper. I know I borrowed his and listened to it; not sure if he borrowed mine. I also listened to the Rolling Stones as well as The Beatles, despite the alleged competition (which today we could consider it to be fake news). Then again, I was always pro choice but that didn't stop me from having a friend who was anti-choice.

To each his own but I actually love the early Beach Boys songs and stuff like California Girls & Good Vibrations. I think Brian was a genius and Beach Boys harmonies were absolutely outstanding IMO. PS. The Beatles Suck!!! (Just kidding 🤣) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain Posted yesterday at 05:14 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:14 PM There comes a time in every party, usually around the 13th beer or the bottom of the 2nd bottle of wine, when I pull out a copy of Pet Sounds and repeatedly treat my guests to God Only Knows, the natural consequence of which is the subsequent hunt for isolated vocal tracks on YouTube... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was convinced a long time ago but it was great seeing those songs' harmonic and rhythm textures broken down in such detail. Brian Wilson took Phil Spector's 'wall of sound' and turned it up to 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more than one left. Jagger, Gilmour, Waters, Fogherty, Sting, Simon, Plant, Bryne...the list is actually pretty long as all of these created massively popular music and many critical hits a piece. And most of them have probably created better music in the 21st century than Paul did to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane_B. Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago The thing that sets McCartney and the Beatles apart is, they wrote and recorded their music themselves. Espwcially in the early years. They never had The Wrecking Crew backing them other than George Martin's input. Sting was a good businessman, but a writing legend he is not ....

As an "audio engineer" myself I certain appreciate the work involved in that, but it doesn't really speaks to ones actual musical abilities at a deep level. I know lots of well respected engineers that couldn't write a tune if their life depended on it. I'm not a huge Sting fan but he is a writing legend and I can't even imagine arguing against it. -Every Breath You Take -Message in A Bottle -Roxanne -Every Little Thing She does is Magic - Walking on the Moon - Fields of Gold _Englishman in New York - King of Pain -If you Love Somebody Set them Free -If I ever Lose My Faith In You - Shape of My Heart - Desert Rose - Wrapped Around Your Finger Each of those is wildly popular. He also has plenty of other 2nd tier hits - Fragile - Brand New Day -1000 Years -When we Dance -Seven Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
