the beach boys are garbage

elliott smith rules

Well... you probably have some people worked up over this one.  But everyone's entitled to his own opinion.  I personally think they are both amazing.  I hear so much Beach Boys influence in ES's music - and he was a huge fan from what I've read.  There's definitely a lot of filler on the early BBs albums - then again with 10 or so albums in 4 years there's bound to be.  I'm guess I'm just curious why you think they're garbage.

Sorry about starting a Beach Boys/ Elliott Smith discussion!

Has anyone heard Daniel's "God Only Knows" cover?  I still haven't heard it yet.
