My apologies to The Beach Boys

[walrus]

As a lifelong Beatle fanatic I have on several occasions been attacked verbally by beach boy fans. As soon as the Beatles were brought up these beach boys fanatics would start shouting pet sounds was the greatest album ever made blah blah blah. I tried to tell them I have no issues with The Beach Boys as there is no doubt the bands influenced each other. Rubber soul influenced pet sounds and pet sounds influenced sgt pepper. Anyway not long ago I saw that movie love and mercy or whatever it’s called about Brian Wilson. I’d say the movie was only fair but it got me listening to more Beach Boys. No doubt Wilson was a genius. The Beach Boys produced some beautiful music. I understand those fans, they were just diehards and maybe feel The Beach Boys don’t get the credit they deserve. That’s why I try not to compare bands, everyone was trying to do their own thing. Yes I overlooked The Beach Boys and I apologize to Brian Wilson and all the others.

It is amazing when you look at these bands and think of the ages they were. Wilson was 23 when he wrote God only knows. The Beatles weren’t even 30 when they broke up. Look at Steve windwood
