Brian Wilson was a genius, and I grew up with their music (byproduct of boomer parent music lovers). There is a point where where you stop breaking the rules and just break the game. I agree: God Only Knows is one of the very best. I sang it to my son all the way thru his childhood and its a memory for us too now.
I find it interesting that there were so many clues to Wilson's mental torture and struggles with value and identity, even in the earlier music. If only it was noticed earlier.
