Hi I'm Tante, longtime lurker and shy internet guy. I love all eras of Brian and Beach Boys, but I am currently researching the 1987-1992 period for a possible (someday) book project.
My favorite (as opposed to "the best") BW solo album is "Brian", with BW88 pretty much a tie also. As a superfan since 1987 that was born in the 1960s, I found the period very inspiring and positive until the scandals hit hard. I also found BW to be functioning at a very high level musically throughout 1987-1990, if occasionally the lyrics let the music down that was still okay with me. I find this especially in the counterpoint. I consider BW to be one of the masters of musical counterpoint, and I feel this has been underutilized on some works, although it made somewhat of a comeback on NPP.
Anyway it's very nice to meet you all... I'll sign off with:
"Ah-oooou"
