"God only knows what I'd be without you." - A quote from one of the best songs of all time.

Pet Sounds remains a story of personal triumph. Brian Wilson fought his label, his bandmates, and his family to bring the album to reality. Against all odds, he harnessed his mental state for genius. He produced and inspired two of music's greatest album ever. "Without Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper never would have happened," the Beatles' producer George Martin later said. "Pepper was an attempt to equal Pet Sounds." The most beautiful vocal harmonies ever recorded, in my humble opinion. I think that Pet Sounds might be the greatest pop album ever made.

"All the lonely people, Where do they all come from? All the lonely people, Where do they all belong?"

Revolver was Beatles first on-purpose masterpiece and the greatest rock album ever made, an album so far ahead of it's time, the world is still catching up with it 50 years later. The Beatles turned themselves inside out on 'Revolver,' exercising a creative freedom following their retirement from the road. They used the studio as their playground, turning the record's 14 songs into the sort of mind-expanding musical template that would influence artists for generations to come. This is where the Beatles jumped into a whole new future - where they truly became the tomorrow that never knows. Time has affirmed the enduring worth of Revolver. It now stands as Beatles greatest album, and for myself; the greatest album of all time. Revolver also got me into albums, so it has a very special place in my heart!

"But she just makes it all too concise and too clear that Johanna's not here. The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face, Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place."

Never thought that Blonde On Blonde would even hit my top 50, haha. Just listened to it again today and absolutely fell in love! Blonde On Blonde might even be better than Highway 61 Revisited? I also looked up the release date of Blonde On Blonde and saw that it was released the same day as Pet Sounds?!? Crazy day and year for music as we know it today.
