Episode 45: ‘Pet Sounds’ - The Beach Boys (1966)‘We Still Believe In Brian’A sure contender in every ‘Greatest Album Of All Time’ debate, The Beach Boys’ ‘Pet Sounds’ was a historic, compositional and technological masterpiece. Credited to the band, but (if we’re being honest!) a Brian Wilson solo album, Wilson was hugely inspired by The Beatles’ ‘Rubber Soul’ and, in response, strived to make the greatest Rock album of all time - and he might very well have succeeded!With unusual chord voicings,
