I'd have liked to have seen the entirety of this analysis by George Martin of one of America's greatest composers. Brian Wilson is a preternatural genius who, alone, captured the essence of the best of West Coast American youth attitude without flaw. Sincere, honest and vulnerable. No mockery in it, just the purest innocence and honesty. Wilson is our American Bach.

What a beautiful song to analyze.

As a kid aged 10 I listened to God Only Knows for the first time in the Summer of 1966. I used to put the glass plug in of my sister's transistor radio in my ear and wake with a horrendous earache! That night, listening the WABC radio (AM) when I should have been asleep, I knew that I'd heard something beautiful. Too young to realize how important, but not to young to realize this was deleriously splendid! It sounds a fresh and fabulous today as it did that night,FORTY SIX years ago!!!

bone-chilling to hear the solo vocal, its like a time capsule of someone who's dead.

@cranie4 I agree with everything you said, I personally just find Wilson's and Spector's productions to be more pleasing to the ear, and quantifiably better

@JayMalone Brian's a genius. But if there truly was a 5th Beatle, George Martin was it. Listen to his work on the multitracks of Pepper by themselves. He was a crucial element to the direction the band went and the way the songs sounded. I've heard a lot of Spector's work while good he tended to have one production sound (huge reverb with orchestra) and overdid it a lot of times to the point of burying the song underneath it all. Pet Sounds and Smile show Brian doing his best Spector.

@cranie4 Brian Wilson and Phil Spector's productions blow George Martin's away. I do love Beatles records though, don't get me wrong there. George is an excellent producer, just not god-status

@JayMalone Gotta quantify the terms of that statement. Brian Wilson the "producer" = George Martin
-
Brian Wilson > George Martin
