        If I'm to believe what I've seen in movies and TV, spoiled rich girls often pursue - and are pursued - by the rich friends of their dads. -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 13:29 1

      - I assume your fandom caused some concern during the Secret Service background check. - Mel Profit Feb 3, 13:16 25
        
        In all seriousness Brian Wilson is a musical genius. One of the truly influential pioneers of rock music. -- nm - pmb Feb 3, 13:19 24
        
        They're Star Wars fans, everything they say is questionable. -- nm - David's Pad Feb 3, 13:22 8

        You know, if you read this thread better, you'd put two and two together. - David's Pad Feb 3, 13:39 3
        
        Ah ha! I knew it. *accusatory finger point* -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 3, 13:42 2

        The amazing thing when I saw them last is that because most of their songs are only like 2:30, the play a ton of songs. I think their playlist when I - pmb Feb 3, 13:31 11

        Just know that your knowledge and appreciation of rock history is throwing under a 19 year old's. Now go enjoy more current music. Like Andy - pmb Feb 3, 13:58 9
        
        I'll gladly pit my musical appreciation against most, regardless of age. - Mel Profit Feb 3, 14:14 2
        
        I understand you're just playing, but if that's how you view the Beach Boys you're really not listening very deeply. The Beatles acknowledge them as - pmb Feb 3, 14:22 1
        
        I've listened to the entire catalog. It was practically required listening where I grew up. - Mel Profit Feb 3, 14:27
        
        Ya know, you can appreciate rock history and still not be thrilled about seeing less than half a band who's most influential work was released 50 - Jim Feb 3, 14:11 3
        
        They are not the same band without Brian Wilson (as I noted above). And you can not be excited about seeing any band. Music is absolutely subjective - pmb Feb 3, 14:17 2
        
        I will admit that you'll hear Wilson's name listed as an influence. Not by many but I've heard it. - Mel Profit Feb 3, 14:20
        
        exactly. they were hugely influential and their work still is, really. -- nm - b. Feb 3, 14:19

        If you were shorter we couldn't see you standing behind him. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 3, 14:14
    - Get there fast and then take it slow. -- nm - Roger More Feb 3, 13:07 1
      - literally the most insidious song of the 80s and in contention for All-Time. It's evil is so unfathomable... - Mel Profit Feb 3, 13:14
    - this confirms that you are in fact performing a long con. - Mel Profit Feb 3, 13:02 1
