Throwbacks need love, too

I haven't been able to stop listening to "Sail On, Sailor" by the Beach Boys since I first heard it in the Departed (it plays in the scene in the cafe where Costello talks to the priests).  Everyone always talks about Brian Wilson and his progression to his pinnacle of musical genius, and I've been seeing why this is true more and more lately.  According to Wikipedia, Wilson's label had to literally beg him to make this song as he refused to step back into his role as the Beach Boys' frontman.  This is one of the last songs he ever wrote and recorded for them. Beach Boys - Sail On Sailor Pet Sounds is hands down one of the greatest albums to ever be released, both from a musical influence standpoint and a technical, artistic perspective.  I know it took him over 30 years to write, produce and record Smile, so I think I'm going to download it as soon as I can. But this song is something I think you will like very much.  Enjoy. -Z The Beach Boys - "Sail On, Sailor"
