possibly the most sublime song ever composed, never fails to amaze on every listening, astonishingly generally unknown amongst the general pop music world, never got into the top 30 i believe in the Usa when released, and i dont think it's in the Rolling stone mag, top 500 rock singles!!! up there with 'a day in the life' as perhaps the finest song every created in the pop era. Schubert would have been proud of it!

The most beautiful song ever recorded by the Beach Boys...epic nobility.

@tlinscott1 it does not exist...it's as if you ask to Martin Luther King to walk upon water...uh...uuupppsss... i forgot that now he surely can :)

@TheBoldImperator i 'm a big fan of both albums today and summer days i put them 4stars of 5 possible... but i really can't listen to much music before this album... i don't like that much the beach boys before 65... i mean i like some songs here and there ... but nothing more... in most of the song they were too much rock n roll derivative of already heard songs... but i understand... it's an important natural evolution... but they have some good to great early stuff...it's just in minority

@BohemianConspiracy Depends on who you ask. The Beatles used feedback as early as 1964, Rubber Soul was getting there, and the Byrds had recorded "Eight Miles High" in 1965. Bob Dylan's first "rock" album had psychedelic influences, and the Beach Boys were gearing up for the change in Today! and Summer Days. The 13 Floor Elevators were the first to call themselves psychedelic, but everyone was going that direction.

@mothafuckajones666 yeah 13th floor ... their 1st in 66  came often as a candidate... this poor band suffered with the horrible Austin Police...

[BohemianConspiracy]

@MattHatter yes ... i know....there's a lot garage rock bands who started it already, most of them, since mid 65 ...but most of the time it was just obscure singles ...not really a whole album... and most of them were playin' a lot of covers at that time... the quality of the songs have to be analysed as well before have some definitive advice on the question... it's quite complicated...

But i talk about albums way before... the question still open ... and there's surely many right answers

[MattHatter]

@BohemianConspiracy That can't be answered, everyone is going to have a different opinion on what the first real, psychedelic rock record was. Some people are going to say major bands while others are going to mention obscure bands that never dented the charts. But I'll say one thing, there certainly was no other song like "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles in 1966 that's for DAMN sure.

@tlinscott1: Robin Pecknold (from Fleet Foxes) is close to be nearly as good as Brian

The first part of the song Carl does lead vocals, after "Are you sleeping, Brother John" Brian does the vocals.

@BohemianConspiracy

Likely The 13th Floor Elevators, but Pet Sounds stands as the best psychedelic album, best 60's album, best album.

I want this to be the last thing I hear before I die.
