PET SOUNDS
Wouldn't it be nice/You Still Believe in me//That's not me/Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)/I'm Waiting For The Day/Let's Go Away For A While/Sloop John B/God Only Knows/I Know There's An Answer/Here Today/I Just Wasn't Made For These Times/Pet Sounds/Caroline No
When, on the few occasions it has happened, people have asked me what I consider to be the best album ever recorded, I say Pet Sounds. This does not mean it is my favourite. I was born in the year it was released so I don't have the personal investment in it as I do with, say, The Queen Is Dead. Which came out when I was 15 or 16. But hear it once, and WOW! It is the most beautiful thing you'll know in your lives barring the first sight of your first child. Stunning vocals, majestic orchestration. Those who have heard it need nothing more said. Those who haven't, I hope you've had children, or your life has been pointless....

My life isn’t pointless, but childless; – don’t know if that’s a valid metaphor, at least for me.
Not having heard the album I couldn’t comment on it, but do know the few songs of their’s I’ve heard, I’ve enjoyed.
Most of those are from their earlier years, though, I should point out.
Please don't take my pompous ranting too seriously. But do seek out this album. It may be a cure for the deadening of your senses caused by too much ZZ Top
