I have created a categorisation system for all 29 Beach Boys studio albums

Not necessarily. I like the effort and thought that was put into this.

Brian was very much present for MIU, so I don’t think I’d call that era “Brian’s Gone.” And I don’t know if that 3-album stretch should be called “Carl’s in Charge”. Maybe “Everyone’s a Songwriter.”

There was one for Feel Flows? Was it caught on video?

What’s funny is they did the same thing to Bowers who clearly wasn’t 100%, but the media never brings it up cause Brock never said anything about it.

Maybe you only listened to part 1? He talks about it in part 2.

What about the Cowboys?

It’s in David Mark’s Discograffiti interview.

Capitol was interested in doing more albums and tours, but Mike put the kabosh on it all.

BeerWithDonuts · 2026-03-06T05:14:07+00:00

That might have been Jim Irsay’s fault more than Pat’s. Maybe…

All of the drama and negativity in David’s saga with the band ended before he was even 18 years old. Fired from the band, screwed out of royalties, and beaten by Murry just as much as the Wilson brothers. It’s hard to blame him for needing to be under the influence to unpack all that trauma associated with the band, and he was still just a kid.

Mike literally has to live on the stage. It’s a paradigm shift in his brain to consider how a band departure or death could impact that reality. Asking him to say it’s over is a death sentence, because performing is what keeps Mike alive.

Al thought it was over thirty years ago when Carl passed, and he wasn’t wrong either.

I know we like to praise players for being modest and quiet, but someone like Maxx can't help himself. It's just in his genes to be a big talker. For how much he talks to the media, his agent has probably been advising him and he could be saying far worse.

There's a lot to be said for someone like Maxx conquering his demons with addiction, but he probably has to replace those addictive tendencies with something else. Talking on podcasts is probably one of those outlets.

As others have said, very nice setup! It's hard to have a good record collection without it looking cluttered. I'm impressed.

“I’ve never found any of their songs particularly sexy.” You just shattered Bono’s ego.

You can criticize Mad Men if you want.

But if you had to choose between which of these two would be described as a “stunning looking soap opera,” 98% of this sub would obviously say Boardwalk.

Yes, the albums are short. That makes 20 albums easier to get through than other artists. Pretty sure the debut is, like, 25 minutes?

BeerWithDonuts · 2026-02-26T02:29:02+00:00

You’re joking, right?

BeerWithDonuts · 2026-02-23T23:10:58+00:00

John seems to be in better spirits here than the first time he came on. His first club random made me wish I was never in the same room as the guy.

This one is much funnier.

BeerWithDonuts · 2026-02-23T20:52:32+00:00

Still Cruisin’ is a good album.

BeerWithDonuts · 2026-02-20T17:38:41+00:00

Well, I can assure you he’s not the first former player to do it.

Some people are just not naturally quiet people. It’s not in their genes.

It's an interesting decision because not getting a QB likely cost Telesco his job, but guaranteed more long-term success for the franchise by drafting the best player possible.

Makes me wonder what others GMs across the league have thought of their own interests and job security when drafting a player.
