anyone who knows me know that i adore the beach boys.
they played a significant role in my childhood. i used to turn on the stereo in the living room and wait and wait and wait for "kokomo" to come on. i remember hearing "surfer girl" in the car when we were living in oklahoma and thinking it was the most beautiful and romantic song i had ever heard.
it just simply isn't summer without the beach boys.
although all of their albums are fantastic and the perfect soundtracks of summertime, i had to pick pet sounds for this week's installment.
it is, without a doubt, my very favorite beach boys album.
all i have to hear is the intro to "wouldn't it be nice" and a big smile will appear on my face. this album is full of perfect harmonies, captivating and surprising melodies, and the usual summer feel the beach boys are known for.
it's the perfect summer night driving with the windows down album.
if you've never heard the album all the way through, then you are really missing out.
don't even bother checking it out from the library or borrowing it from a friend.
go to your local record store and buy it.
