Any thoughts on their 1977 album "Love You"? I've read a bit about it, and apparently it was entirely written and produced by Brian Wilson.I've also read a few reviews and most of them were positive. I haven't listen to it yet, but I'm planning on doing it soon. Is it good?
Hi 5th Beatle! How are you? The "Love You" album, along with "15 Big Ones," were released during the so called "Brian Is Back" campaign. In reality, it wasn't true. Brian was still fighting his demons as well as Mike Love. It is true that Brian wrote and produced the "Love You" album but Brian was not healthy during this period. Believe it or not, this was the band's attempt (They finally came to their senses) in trying to get Brian back in the studio producing. You might still be able to buy the "Love You" and "15 Big Ones" albums on one CD. In my opinion, the "Love you" album is not a bad album, but its not the band's greatest album either. The tracks on the "Love You" album are as follows:
(1.) Let Us Go On This Way
(2.) Roller Skating Child
(3.) Mona
(4.) Johnny Carson
(5.) Good Time
(6.) Honkin' Down The Highway
(7.) Ding Dang
(8.) Solar System
(9.) The Night Was So Young
(10.) I'll Bet He's Nice
(11.) Let's Put Our Hearts Together
(12.) I Wanna Pick You Up
(13.) Airplane
(14.) Love Is A Woman
In my opinion, the best songs on the "Love You" album are "Mona" and "Honkin' Down The Highway." I feel confident that Joost can add more to my post, take care 5th Beatle.
