    Beach Boys were a joke that improved with age

    At the time they were soft rock before soft rock and kids just wanted to ROCK

    40 years ahead of their time. The Beach Boys are perfect for the skinny jean/man bun wearing betas that we have today. But Toto wins, and it isn't that close.

    The worst California band I ever saw was called Drive By Crucifixion.

    I don't get the Beach Boys hate. But I wonder if 'We Built This City' is played during interrogation sessions in secret locations.

    The Beach Boys hate is because the went from being cool (they were cool when Good Vibrations was released @RaceBannon regardless of what the Tuffs in Olympia had to say) to cheese dick nostalgia faster than any band in history.

    Beach Boys in 1995 was a my first ever concert. And they were cheesy as fuck.

    Uncle Jesse (of Jesse and the Rippers fame) had a FULL HOUSE-sized boner for Mike Love. 'Nuff said on that.

    No clue. The Full House appearances and Surfing USA are the depth of my Beach Boys knowledge. Suffice to say, I was pretty happy to stop there and not dig deeper.

    I should add the left channel speaker sits partially on the floor vent. @PurpleBaze said it improves the overall sound stage.
    Fuck you and @RaceBannon too!

    I get it. But your confirmation bias against pre late 70s rock is skrong.

    I blame Mike Love, and weep for the fact that Mickey Thomas is associated with We Built This Horse shit…

    I saw Starship at the Taste of Edmonds in the early 2000's. About 25-30 people bothered to sit down and watch/listen. Couldn't decide if it was sad or pathetic that these guys were still trying to hang on and had to play events like this.

    Pretty sure the same shit would have happened in Shelton. The Beach Boys didn't get played at our parties, either.

    Starship is the worst band from anywhere.

    Are you kidding me? I lived in an apartment building across the street from Civic Field from 2000-2007. I remember one Taste of Edmonds where Starship and Bowie songs were being played and I thought it was a cover band.

    I survived growing up in Shelton because I learned how to not get beat up by drawing attention to yourself.

    Don't worry though - I'd still have your back - by telling you to put that shit away if you pulled out any Beach Boys albums or tapes. Shelton is the kind of town where you say Metallica is the best California band. Pull out Ride the Lightning at a party and you're in.

    I'm sure I grew up a little earlier than @dflea but you had to know how to fight

    Daily at home and my first school fight was in first grade

    No weapons and teachers kind of let it go. No cops no real punishment

    At the now-defunct Spiritridge Elementary, there was a small muddy field behind a group of trees at the edge of the playground. During recess we'd go back there and play tackle football. We'd return to class all muddy and occasionally bleeding. I don't remember teachers ever saying anything. Mrs Mason the playground supervisor always let it go.

    I was lucky enough to have an older brother that thumped my melon on the regular at home, so I was ready to scrap at school at a moment's notice.

    Our playground duty teacher was this 500 pound beast, so you could get a fight going out in the field, and by the time she waddled over there, the fight was wrapped up and a fake arm wrestling match was going on.

    Then we'd get a game of smear the queer going and everyone would get the crap knocked out of them.

    Ah, those were the days, weren't they?
