Bruce Johnston and Al Jardine just seem like such nice guys.

Ever since Mike’s hat was surgically installed in the winter of 1965 he has been a very irritable person.

Oh my god. I’m a total hip hop fan. But this album is UNDENIABLE...one of the greatest albums ever created. By a musical genius Brian Wilson

I love watching Mike Love try to explain anything Pet Sounds related. He obviously still doesn't understand what makes the album so great and is still bitter about the whole thing and Brian's genius.

Carl had the voice .... so wonderful

Pet Sounds is the greatest album of all time and if you disagree I don’t care it’s my opinion

It's fucking sad to know that one of the main reasons Brian abandoned the Smile album in 1967 was because Mike Love hated it. WTF!? It could've been as magical and fresh as Pet Sounds was.

McCartney: When are you gonna do another album like Pet Sounds? Mike Love: *Never.*

IMO The most beautiful album ever made. Thank you, Brian and stay safe.

0:56 But that's what you wanted. As Brian presented the non-vocal tracks to pet sounds, Mike Love had this to say to Brian- "Don't fuck with the formula"- Mike Love

I grew up in Southern California however I was into what they call Doo Wop Now, Vocal Group Harmony,,,I'm 77 now been studying The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean for 3 months and I Have discovered the genius of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, I really appreciate their contribution to the early days of Rock N Roll, Jan & Dean.

Mike Love has always wanted to be Brian Wilson, he can't even come close.

The greatest rock album of rock of all times. This album is a genius.

Brian was like 23-24 composing this stuff and blending it with the pop sound

And then he did Surfs Up... genius progression.

If it was up to Mike Love they would have been a novelty group of the times. He treats it like that to this day with his cornball tracklist and stage presence. Brian made the group legendary!

Brian was clearly the brains and talent behind EVERYTHING. With his ring wearing-girly dancing, bully of a cousin named Mike "Love" always trying to break him down and STILL trying to take credit. Notice that Pet Sounds, one of THE MOST BRILLIANT MUSICAL WORKS OF THE MODERN TIMES, are mostly written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher, NOT Mike Love. That's because Mike Love tried to destroy his brilliance. I can't stand how Mike Love always tries to take credit for what Brian created. Everyone else in the band gives Brian the credit but girly dancer.

Brian wilson was as good or better than anyone else in the music industry long live brian Wilson we love you

An American Genius

I see all the negativity on Mike Love, but honestly I don't dislike him. But Brian is the genius at work

Carl was a spiritual messenger who helped to commit this sound to vinyl

Pet Sounds is almost sheer perfection (I'm not a big fan of Sloop John B) and it never fails to capture my undivided attention. "God Only Knows" is matched only by "Something" when it comes to some of the greatest love songs ever written and recorded.

THANK YOU BRIAN FOR YOUR INSANE UNIQUENESS!! The World Is Grateful 💯 in ways like for no other music legend. A truly Classic sound like none other period.

I love Mike Love’s vocals, but his bitterness at not having the same musical talent as Brian is palpable and unfortunate. One would think after all this time and after all the fortune and fame Brian’s writing has given him he would be a little more appreciative and humble. Yes, Love contributions were substantial, but give Brian his proper credit. Didn’t he have to take enough abuse from his dad? Recognizing someone for their outstanding work doesn’t diminish the beholder one bit.

Pet(ing) Sounds - "The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on" , brilliant,and they are still clueless :-)) I love it now even more.

Mike Love couldn't stand Pet Sounds when Brian came up with it. He didn't want the group to record the album. Love always wanted to be the songwriter and arranger Brian was.

Brian Wilson is the greatest human being of all time.

Best music ive ever heard

The music world would never be the same again - pet sounds takes you to another reality - and that is music.

The elite session musicians of Wrecking Crew played on Pet Sounds as they did so many other hit albums of the era.

Best f... record ever. Timeless.

It definitely blow out of Minds this LP became the land work that is unbeatable one of the greatest rock albums ever created by musical icon Brian Wilson dig this The Beatles wrote beautiful songs also no one would've top Rubber Soul and revolver created by a musical band Beach Boys

Funny that they interviewed Lindsey Buckingham. The things Pet Sounds did must have been some inspiration for fleetwood mac's album Tusk. Especially considering the fact that that album was greatly creatively controlled by Buckingham.

Brian basically competed with all 4 beatles at once goddamn. Dude alone is worth the whole beatles and I’m saying that as someone who prefers the beatles

wow mike love has an awsome home imProvement hat I WANT ONE!

Brian Wilson is pure genius !!

a beautiful masterpiece

Absolutely Awesome Presentation Here on The True Genius of Brian Wilson and The Making of a Truly Iconic Album...Thanx a Mil for This :) :) (y) (y)

"The vocals sessions were phenomenal um... they were ardous though· (...) He was like Stalin or somebody in the studio, the Stalin of the studio" I think Mike was still resenting "Pet Sounds" at the time he was recorded for the interview. Brian in 1966 never gave a satisfactory explanation through the recording, a explanation in which in terms of bussiness, why it was SO important for the Beach Boys as a group to have a legendary classic rather than a pop album about girls, surfin and hard rock and roll which in terms could build THE SAME money, it was gonna be a hit no matter how much work they will do. Brian pitching to Mike could only speak about his feelings, so Mike prevented to come in terms of agreeing with that as Mike probably thought Brian was having an ego trip rather than making music for the group. It never materialized in sales at the first run, but the success and the respect for The Beach Boys as a all star talented vocal group became clear as years go by. Brian was right in the end and Mike learned to appreciate Pet Sound rather than grief on it. I hope Mike does not resent Brian now. I think he does not.

Still have it. I remember putting it on my stereo...the kind that dropped the records, when I was falling asleep.

This album was the Inspiration for Sgt. Pepper they say but the Inspiration for Pet Sounds one could argue was Rubber Sole

Mike Love is justified in his being ticked off for all these years. He was a brilliant lyricist no doubt, penned many many of the great Beach Boys songs, but that was at a time where the group was developing together at the same rate, and Mike never felt any major competition from them. But after having come back from tour whilst Brian stayed and wrote, arranged, and produced, Mike was met with the brutal reality that this kid has absolutely exponentially astronomically passed him by in terms of talent and genius. I don't blame people for getting resentful for feeling that way, but it makes no sense why one has to stagnate in that mindset/not move on. He needs to move on, he deserves it after brooding for 60 years. Ugh. He needs to give himself some peace. But he's the only one that can do that. Godspeed Brian, Al, and Mike. Love always, and an incredible indebted thank you for making life more beautiful through your music.

That home improvement hat tho

The first person they interview is mike love......

If you don't think Pet Sounds is the greatest album ever listen again and again you'll get it

The difference with me------as opposed to all of my friends------WAS the music ov the Beach Boys. From the very 1st, I heard it differently than anyone I knew. No one heard what I did-----the unbelievably gorgeous vocals, & clean pure instrumentation. ------------the subjects at 1st were what they knew-----but the music! OMG, there is nothing like it --------Ever.-------And, that's why young people of today are re-discovering BW & the music of the Beach Boys. -----------Wolfsky9

SUPERB 💓

Never really liked Mike Love, he really didn’t even like Brian’s concept for “Pet Sounds” & the beautiful music Brian made.

The power of the Wrecking Crew!

You can say it was the beach boys at there very best

Bruce Johnston is a really smart and down to earth guy it seems. I bet he served as a middle ground Beach Boy when there was arguments because who could dislike him?

Mike Love should never be allowed to speak

Before computers when you captured a performance instead of making a computer program..brilliant

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was one of the first live shows I ever went to.

Ah, to be sure, that's a fuyne Irish accent ya got there Paul!

How does one get from the genius of this to the crock that is Smile???

Hal Blaine was a legend

"she called me"... I don't think thats how it went down Brian lol

5:12 ... good god 👼👼👼👼👼😇

The problem with Pete's call for another conventional (for the time) pop album is that most of the acts around had about mined that vein. They either opened a new one or hit the revival circuit for life.

7:26 there was a color picture of them in the woods on a greatest hits LP but who knew there was a film

The irony is, that one of the greatest albums ever released in 1966, from LA, a month after Pet Sounds was Freak Out by The Mothers Of Invention. Seminal release, first ever double LP, but neglected. Wilson was clever, but the real LA genius was Frank Zappa.

Rochmaninoff & General Patton,Dog Ears. They said this verbatim in TV movie

Those promo films had to be some kind of an inside joke! TERRIBLE! Or a Brian Wilson acid trip. As with the cover art for the Pet Sounds album. Ridiculous ! But the GOAT reference was prophetic. Greatest of all Time.

Mike "Opie" Love

Love opens this video expressing a whole lot of love and respect for brian. Just making note of that, as folks love to jump on the "mike love is an asshole" train. I know I do!

Earphones in the dark

Love Pet Sounds, and not that it matters, but not one of those animals on the cover is a "pet."

8:35 theramin solo

Bruce Johnston is not on the cover although on the album , is there a reason for this , thanks

Mike...who?

Honestly there's no way for me to choose between sgt peppers and pet sounds just no way for me to do it

I'm a Beatles fanatic through and through but Pet Sounds is better than any of Beatle album.

I always thought Pet Sounds meant your favorite sounds or songs or like teacher pet have fav pupil...lol.

Flawed genius history litter with them.

Is Love really someone's last name?

I always said brian wilson jhon phllips and richard carpenters ears were all attached to each other 😂

Tool Time...Arrrguughhh

"Pet Sounds".........Where does the "P.S." come from?Mr. Spector I believe.The tragic genius.

Pet Sounds has nothing to do with Pepper. Nothing common.

I love Brian. I couldn't care less about the Beach Boys.

Brian Wilson IS a genius, plain and simple, but, I really never liked Mike love, Al Jardine. To me, they're crayons for Brian to 'paint' music, and ya, I know they're relatives, etc, but they're just such... I'm not ig fans of them (I love Carl and Dennis, RIP). There's some schmo in this - David Wild - and he's listed as 'author and music journalist'. Aside from never hearing of him, the only thing I could find he's written was a book on that pantheon rock innovators, Mr Neil Diamo🧐😁. Now, I invite that doesn't necessarily mean anything, BUT, I was watching him, and listening to his... UN-original comments, thoughts, etc, and I thought; 'WTF'?!?! THIS... Is THE 'best' music commentator the producers could find -when there's several high-calibre (music) writers who are actually capable of having original, and interesting thoughts and comments? 🧐

Mike Love, he is just awful, sounds a bit envious as well. Another I wanna be Brian Wilson...

12:21 they were literally full of drugs

Mike Love's impression is soo bad... Paul McCartney doesn't speak like that "I had tears in me eyes" he's not an 18th century Irish immigrant....smh

Mike love look Sooooo fake.....he hated this album...

Curse you Stg. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club!!! You copy cat!

The Mike Love bashing needs to stop. Yes, yes, yes...Brian is/was a genius. But he became unreliable and a detriment to the continuation of the band. Music is a BUSINESS people. Without Mike Love the band would have ground to a halt and much of the brilliant music we have access to would never have seen the light of day. Brian was a trainwreck. Someone had to oversee the business affairs - the contracts, the tours, the schedule, the crews, the commitments. Was Brian going to do that while laying in bed?? Give credit where it's due. Mike Love deserves a LOT of it. To not see this is childish.

Great album...one of the lamest covers of all time.
