What do we think of Van Dyke Parks?

I loved Teens of Denial.

he's a nancy boy

The poor bloke just wanted to make awesome music and instead found a depressive, crazy genius with a fucked up family.

Song Cycle is GOAT

Song Cycle is a 10/10

too bad he never made anything else similar

Song Cycle is superior to Pet Sounds

Van Dyke Parks sucked a hundred times more dick back in his day then Will Toledo ever could manage to.

Had good ideas but needed brian to make them palatable to the plebs. More a fan of him as a person than his music

I found him to be pretty annoying in The Inbetweeners to be honest.

>>69156244
what a legend

>>69156244
Is he /ourguy/?
>>69156335
Is it confirmed that he's gay? He's rather camp, so it wouldn't surprise me, but I've never seen it confirmed one way or the other.

I wish he hadn't does all those weird effects on Orange Crate Art, it's a beautiful song but I think that just one voice+one piano makes it sound best.

which one, will toledo or van dyke parks?

>>69157734
Parks, though I guess that confirms it. Isn't Toledo confirmed gay because of his furry account?

>>69158362
he also made a concept album about his furry bf

pretty sure van dyke parks is straight and has a wife
there was a video where he said "i'm feeling very bisexual!" but i think it was as a joke
he's just flamboyant/effeminate as many artsy people are
