   Is SMiLE really that good?

   Iv listened to SMiLe so many times I here it in my sleep. Part of the   
   fascination for me is the fact that it’s the long lost album. The   
   other fact is it took a lot of listens to appreciate the music. My   
   brother listened to a few songs, but he’s not a Beach Boys fan. He   
   didn’t like anything he heard on SMiLE, especially Mrs. O’Leary’s   
   Cow. My girl friend is a music teacher as well as a classically   
   trained opera singer. She is a big Beach Boys fan.   She listened to   
   a few songs with out knowing who it was and asked what is this drug   
   induced music? She also is from the opinion that if SMiLE were that   
   good in the first place it wouldn’t have been shelved.  There maybe   
   some truth to this because Hero’s and Villains as well as Good   
   Vibrations was released. Do you think for a minute that Good   
   Vibrations would have been shelved? Its just to good of a song.  I’m   
   just wondering if we love SMiLe because it’s the long lost album? Or   
   is it that good?
