This is a hard contrast for me because I’m not a big beach boy fan. Some thing about their harmonies just didn’t click with me even though I like the key songs. I can see why their music was so important because of Brian’s over the top arrangements, but there was other people doing cool things with music like that like, for example, even Donovan was doing some very interesting odd orchestration. Frankly, another incredible arranger at the time was Arthur Lee in the band love.
I hear what you’re saying about the Beach boys grabbing their music using stuff from the past which the Beatles did too but the Beatles pushed it a different direction. It’s amazing for what we were listening to at the time what we excepted. The Beatles fame overshadowed, making a lot of their music more acceptable. Still there LP spun a lot at the time and I would bet you anybody from that epic can come along in the exact arrangement that Beatles did.
An interesting aspect of music is that our taste evolves and listening back at earlier music in our life and we can hear the differences because of that. I know for me as of one that has really examined music as I try and compose it. I really hear the instruments now. Consequently, listening back is a lot of fun. Again, Donovan is someone that I was surprised to find had so much color in his music.
