Pet Sounds

This is the grandaddy of the alternative
rock albums. Yes, Brian Wilson probably didn't realize it at
the time, but his tunes have inspired more indie and alternative
rock artists than any album in history--or so say the artists
themselves. I've read countless interviews with the cool indie
guys of today, and all of them at some point mention this album
as an influence. One listen and you'll know exactly why. Wilson
is the master behind this thing, and certainly breaks the genre
wide open with his multi-layered production and amazing melodies.
Give this thing a spin and then listen to any melodic alt rock
produced in the last fifteen years and try to deny its influence--I
dare you. I'm telling you, Matthew
Sweet will kick your ass! |
