sgt peppers is my 2nd least favorite beatles album i own.
it's great, but the song aren't there for me the way the others are.

as for pet sounds, i think it's hard not to love "god only knows" and a few others. but i've never gone gagga over it.

I, for one, believe that the only way to fully appreciate Pet Sounds is to listen to it all at one-go, in a single sitting, with no distractions.

It is #1 on my Listmania! And is one of the only pieces of music that can consistently bring tears to my eyes.

One song that I didn't see mentioned yet is my favorite song on the album: "You Still Believe In Me". I'm not just spouting hyperbole when I say that the only vocal piece I can compare it to is Handel's Messiah. It's that powerful for me. And I wouldn't doubt that Handel was an ispiration for that song... when the full "choir" comes in at the end... chills.

I love this album with all my being.
I am one of those people that you may not understand.

But as Phil and Laura stated earlier... it may just not resonate with you. And that's cool. Personally. for me. I am just grateful for this music. Divinely inspired.

"I'm Waiting for the Day" is a great song from Pet Sounds that gets over-looked. I'm probably more in the boat of those who don't get why this is considered such a great album (always seems to be in the top 3 of any list) but I definitely do think it's very good. The music is really complex for being so "pop" and the production is tops.

I have to agree that it's hard to see its significance without being around when it first came out, though.

And Pet Sounds sounds just amazing on the DVD-A format. It's one of the only hi-rez discs I've bought where I'm really glad I forked over the money for it.

Still Mono, or is it that jerry-rigged stereo?

heard it once & didn't see the fascination. if it ever pops up on an mp3blog, i'll try it out again.

Which was, oddly enough, the name of Peter Frampton's character in the Sgt. Pepper's movie.

what would you say, if I sang out of tune, would you stand up and walk out on me?"
