Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time?

lonemountain, "work of all originals"?

Hardly, the lead song, "Sloop John B" goes back to 1916.  

And I remember the Kingston Trio releasing it in 1958.

Not to detract from Brian Wilson's contributions, but let's be accurate at least.

Lots of interesting comments.  They simply show how divergent opinions can be.

I alway considered "Pet Sounds" to be an OK album, but never to the high esteem some place it.  I wonder if some revere it just because it was said to influence the Beatles, and who could debut them? ;^)
