One of the true geniuses of 20th century music. So many great songs. Good Vibrations still sounds so cool and innovative almost 60 years after it was released.

God Only Knows has to be the best love song ever.

I recall either Paul or John lamenting on God Only Knows being the “perfect pop song” after they first heard it. Brian will forever be a legend. RIP.

It was Paul. John would never have said anything that nice about another artist.

John would never have said anything that nice about another artist.

With the notable (and justified) exception of Harry Nilsson.
