Part 3 of PET SQUARES' 7-part look at the Beach Boys' and Brian Wilson's magnum opus PET SOUNDS is now up! "Pet Sounds Part 3 - Why It's Special" tackles the key question of what makes this album one of pop music's best, its varied influence on what came after, and the tortuous road it took to critical respect, with unique personal perspectives on watching that all unfold. Thanks everyone for watching PET SQUARES: A GEEK'S GUIDE TO THE BEACH BOYS. |

Very interesting analysis, Adam, and much appreciated.
Not meaning to be controversial here, but I am curious -- why do you consider PS to be a "rock" album? I hear a lot of different things going on in it that you touched on in this episode, but I don't hear a lot of what I think of as rock.

It's all pop in my book. ( Rock and roll is another matter entirely.) |

Because Adam brought up PS's influence on the Elephant 6 Collective. This image is from an exhibit on Elephant 6 at the University of Georgia (Special Collections Library) in Athens, GA.

I hear a lot of different things going on in it that you touched on in this episode, but I don't hear a lot of what I think of as rock. I kinda don't actually and I waffled on using this term in the video. I probably used it some times and avoiding using it in others. But on the other hand, it's not really anything else - it's a melange of pop, jazz, exotica and classical music but it's still played in the rock idiom - you still have a very big beat happening in most of the songs. Even more delicate songs like "Caroline No" have a strong rhythmic pulse provided by the keyboards. Let's put it this way - it's not a point I would argue for or against very strongly. |
