damn so this is what he did after they kicked him out
and did disco remakes of surf songs too

(now you know why there’s a disco remake of a wild honey song on la album - yes he really thot he had one)
best Beach Boys song of the 70s (that wasn't made by the Beach Boys)
Concur or deny @RVI

deny tbh, i havent really been able to get into them from the 2 albums i tried. everything is just average to decent sounding to me, even the big hit

The big hit is garbage, I was upset when I got to that album :vom: surprised you don't hear the beachiness
How close did xtc come? I gave up

i do hear the beachiness style
where did you give up with XTC?
band is approaching top favorite level for me as im finishing up entire discog
XTC got pretty beach boys ish at times but its also always distinctly british so that takes away from that aspect. equally beatles ish. both direct influences ofc
and ofc they did some direct beach boys pastiche on side project dukes of stratosphear i think i showed before

this the one
they should’ve said feat the bbs bc it’s them doing the harmonies there
which makes it the official best bbs song of the 70s not by them

but you traditionally love dad-rock and that might be the zenith (f u steely dan)

no way its touching any of the first 7 steely dan albums
doesnt strike me as especially "dad rock" style either compared to other stuff of the time so not quite sure what that means or if it means anything at all. Other than the fact that Dennis does sound like a dad on it
River Song is fire though

i think i actually liked a few jams of Mummer but then finally got to Skylarking and it was not what i was expecting. was hoping for some effervescent kinks/beach boys/beatles like opus but it still sounded like spikey punk band xtc.

this is spikey punk to you??

try this 1999 one then, there is no way its even close to spikey punk. (not even rock at this point)

and this is the direct beach boys pastiche:
