How did the worst singer in the group become known as the lead singer?
>>122580302It suited him in those years
He's not the worst singer, he has the best lead voice, nicest timbre. I mean listen to Pet Sounds, starts with WIBN and everything is great, but Mike comes in and it pushes everything to the next levelAl is second best lead voice in the group
Great vocals, and almost decent songwriter when it comes to stuff like Big Sur (pity he never wrote a song as good as that since)
>>122580302by being the only one with any kind of consistency. >keeps writing hits in spite of every evolution of the band>everyone else falls apartit's not a big mystery.
>>122580806>>keeps writing hits in spite of every evolution of the bandKek noAnd his voice has fallen off the hardest by the 80s it was an unlistenable nasal whine
>>122580841ALL of their voices had deteriorated by the 80s. Mike's was the only one that still somewhat sounded like himself.
>>122580921Al too.
>>122580921Uh, Carl Wilson still had a great voice, so did Al Jardine. In fact, Al is the only one that still has a decent voice.Carl even to his last performance, despite having cancer and needing oxygen between songs, still had a good voice.https://youtu.be/aD41cFE_rJE?si=rbxUCneQS-JCOnn1
>>122580935doesn't matter since Al sang lead on like 4 songs in total.
>>122580969Al Jardine sang lead on 50 you retardBruce sang the least with 19
>>122581084ok now name 10 Al songs that are actually good.
>>122580966I think Carl must have been some kind of freak where smoking his whole life didn't really affect his singing voice

>>122581151you only named 4 good songs, I asked for ten.
>>122581162Those are all good, I'll get back to you with the other 4.I was going to say Lady Jane but that's eh good for Post Holland Beach Boys and he's on The Beaks Of Eagles but I think only I like that. It's hard to tell sometimes where he is-he sounds a lot like Brian
>>122581162Oh and Add The Winds Of Change that's good, the only good song on M.I.U so it's three now
>>122581151Cotton Fields as well that's 8
>>122580336There are moments like on Hawaii where his voice is cracking but it suits the songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay4FTKRCxQo
>>122581191>the only good song on M.I.U so it's three nowNah, Matchpoint and My Diane are good.
>>122581183>It's hard to tell sometimes where he is-he sounds a lot like BrianHe actually took over many of Brian's leads when he stopped touringhttps://youtu.be/IiuPxfV_Zqo?si=mtBkXkrDFiiCEYV_
