Beach Boys, “Love You” (Reprise, 1977)
With Brian fully on board, the Boys offer their definitive statement of gently sun-baked late ‘70s SoCal eccentricity. Lots of dazzling but oddly dislocated piano and orchestral fanfare-sweeps that spotlight the naïve yet acute lyrics and melodies, driven along by Dennis’s languidly funky minimalist drum pulse. Maybe their last unequivocal class.
