They certainly did release some worthless crap, but which greatest hits album was it? Some of them feature the WC more heavily than they ahould.

Let me see if I can guess the three songs… "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "God Only Knows", and "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times"?

Sure, Pet Sounds gets way more attention than it deserves, but the fact that quite a few kids still enjoy it shows that it isn't quite as dated as all that.

Have you heard the 2011 Smile Sessions? Not dated at all IMO.
