Listen to your cousin Michael, boys. He knows what's best for all of you.

way more timeless and way more influential, touched way more lives and hearts of people than the Beach Boys "artsy" shit
what would you assholes do if you were part owners of an intellectual franchise like the beach boys? you'd have to protect your investment, otherwise you're no better than a fucking communist.

numbers don't lie. If you could set up a worldwide vote right now, more people have memories attached to "Don't Worry Baby" or even "Kokomo" than something like Cabin Essence or Fire
Not saying the artsy shit isn't good, but what the Beach Boys are known/remembered for is the classic sound that got them famous in the first place
If Mike Love booked a Beach Boys concert in your hometown and the band he assembled played Smiley Smile or Pet Sounds in its entirety, the majority of the attendees would leave pissed off that they didn't play any of their good shit

more people know God Only Knows and Good Vibrations, but regardless, any attachment or enjoyment people got from Kokomo and what not was superficial at best, it was a commodity to be used and thrown away later, and therefore made no lasting impact to anyone. The artsy stuff genuinely affected people, and was therefore more meaningful.
