- Post subject: Pet Sounds and the VU&N
|
Pet Sounds has risen above the VU&N. Is this a new trend, or just a temporary thing? Is it because PS is rising, or is VU&N falling?
Personally, I hope it's PS rising, but my guess is that it's just a temporary thing.

Maybe it has something to do with The smile sessions coming out and more people listening to that then going onto pet sounds.
HOpefully PS continues to rise.

As far as American rivals to the Beatles, I think I much prefer the psych'ed out mess that is VU to the pop-friendly chart-pleasers. Not to say that "Wouldn't It Be Nice" isn't one of the cutest songs ever written, just that, you know, I'd be sad if BEA actually decided Pet Sounds were better.

👏 well this is good news.
I think objectively (as possible) they are probably the 2 most influential albums of the last 50 years.

I'm hoping it gets to the Top 10.

N.W.A.- Straight Outta Compton (rap)
Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath (metal)
Kraftwerk-Trans Europe Express (electronica)
Robert Johnson-King of the Delta Blues Singers (rock)
The Stooges-Raw Power (punk)
Herbie Hancock-Headhunters (fusion)
Massive Attack-Blue Lines (trip-hop, electronica)
...
I mean, there's no one or two albums that have far-reaching effects across several genres, so to say that VU&Nico and Pet Sounds are THE two most influential albums is retarded. You're neglecting Metal, Punk, Jazz, Electronica, and many other genres where prominent artists don't give a fuck about either. You think Eazy-E had the Beach Boys in mind when he was rapping?
