The Beach Boys- Pet Sounds

After listening to their albums and watching their movies, I definitely think I have come to really like The Beatles. Now we are listening to The Beach Boys, and I was kind of on the fence about them, but after listening to "Pet Sounds" I decided that I like them. I think a lot of that was decided by the first song of the album, "Wouldn't It Be Nice". That was the song in a movie I really like called "50 First Dates" and I think the fact that the sound was familiar helped me connect with the song better. I remember in class we were talking in class about the facts that people don't want their artists to change, and if they do then sales go down. I think there is some truth to that, for example I can't remember a time where I loved a song the first time I heard. Maybe other people are different than me in this, but to really like a song I really have to listen to it a few times and kind of get the feel of the beat and the lyrics. I think that that is what made me like Pet Sounds so much, because the music was familiar. In addition, I really like the beats and especially the harmonies in the album, and it even kind of reminded me of The Beatles. I just wish people in that time would have appreciated the album for what is really was.
