@JuxtaposeMystery Oh really? Have you listened to the silly turd called Love You? I know Brian can do no wrong to his cultists, but try to listen to the album and pretend it wasn't Brian that wrote or sang on it.

@DrummerFreak04 You should listen to Dennis songs....like Baby Blue

is it just me or does t his sound like this could be a bachman turner overdrive song? lol

@peterp21 everything brian is the primary creative force behind is a masterpiece

@runnersdialzero333 Regarding Carl being involved like Mike, consider that this song and one other off the album were written with Carl's buddy Randy Bachman from the Bachman Turner Overdrive. Every other song (except one Chuck Berry cover and one Bruce song) were written by Brian with Mike. So Carl does share the blame with the rest of the band for a poor album. Plus remember, Carl could sing but he wasn't a prolific or very notable songwriter.

Splendid to see that there are other people besides myself who like "M.I.U." The crytics slated it, even the band hated it ... But to me, it's the most consistent and overall best album they'd done in at least 7 or 8 years, and I play it ten times more than any of their other LPs from the 70s.
As for "L.A.", "Goodtimin'" is a gem, as is "Lady Linda", the rest of the album didn't leave much of an impression on me at all.
when Brian took his time out in the late 60's and into the 70's Carl was and continued to be the Backbone of the band holding it together until his un-timely death. RIP Carl, you were one hell of a muscian!
