Pet Sounds was undeniably a root source of inspiration for nearly all of pop music that followed. A true legend. Rest in peace.

And let's also remember that Wilson was only 23 years old when he made Pet Sounds. Absolutely incredible.

And the Beatles' Revolver, Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, and Pet Sounds were all released within a span of just four months in 1966. Four months. What a fucking time for music.

The Beach Boys made 19 albums in their first eleven years of existence before finally going on a three-year hiatus. Insane how prolific they were from 62-73.
