Cheers SS, I'll look out for that. Wilson is just sublime genius. I can think of no other songwriter who could have come up with The Warmth of the Sun. THE most exquisitely beautiful pop song of all time.I once saw him explain the chord sequence in a documentary. He explained what the standard progression would be, then said how he'd just tweaked it. He made it seem so obvious, but the result is like nothing on earth.
Aye. If only it weren't for t**ts in politics, we'd all get along grand.Apart from Coldplay fans. They can f**k right off.

I'm not having it. There is no song ever that produced a chord sequence as revolutionary as that and made it sound inevitable.And when you factor in that Wilson wrote it in a few hours on the night of JFK's assassination and as a direct response to that event...That was a genius searching his soul in response to an epochal tragedy. And producing a work of historical beauty.Just...the best...ever.

Coldplay make interesting and original music.Unfortunately the interesting bits aren't original and the original bits aren't interesting.
I remember listening to the intro to Bowie's Jene Genie and wondering if it was gonna turn out to be The Sweet's Blockbuster. They're identical.
SS. Look at Brian here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVlSVkzbJDAHe's on a different plane. Utterly absorbed by the music.It's no wonder he succumbed to mental illness. He was a once in a generation genius - just overwhelmed by his own connection with the art of music.
